Does Peppers scare anyone that bad?

What I mean is this-yes he is a freak, and he is good, but if you were the GM and a division foe was willing to part with the right package or a high draft pick adn then some, why would we definately not trade Peppers to a NFC South foe?

I'd like to play him twice a year and put Gross and Otah on him adn doble team him and maybe throw a chop block or three.

I truly believe that when Pep comes back to play us he will be coming with a purpose. He might not get up for every game with his new team but the one against us he definitely will because in his mind he thinks that he wasted good years here. He wants to show us what those "good years" would be like.

I would worry about Peppers if he were in an agressive attacking style defense...with a great DC.

TB would have scared me with Kiffin...Philly scares me with Johnson.

exactly. No other coach is going to pull a Fox and drop Pep back in coverage as often getting all cute. On another team, most coaches imo will only use Peppers to cause havoc to the QB. Pep will look much better away from Carolina....thinking otherwise is just "us" trying to fool ourselves.

Whose fault is it that he wasted good years here...his. He's the one that d*cking us, not the other way around. I'm not afraid of him...Gross (if we sign him) can handle him.

Peppers was a stud in Carolina. A stud who did play in a conservative defensive scheme and one where his exceptional talent was often used to prevent plays instead of making them.

I think it is funny how our fanbase is wanting to pretend that one of the biggest freaks in the NFL is going to be easily handled simply b/c he got tired of Carolina. It is a business and he gave us some good quality years, well worth it.

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
