The Flipside of Gilbert

[Mr. Scot]

Actually, the comparison I made between Peppers and Gilbert wasn't based on personality, although it would be valid to say that both are a little offbeat.

The similarity at the heart of the discussion though is that both are disgruntled players slapped with the franchise tag by a team posturing that it wants the full package of compensation.

As mentioned in the original post, there's no indication at this point that Peppers is willing to go the route Gilbert did, sitting out entire seasons.

Buuuut, stranger things have happened.

Gantt's take: Wrapping up D-Day

Speaking of which, it would be karmic justice if the Redskins made an offer for Peppers and the Panthers didn't match. If that happened, they'd then have to call Dom Capers and tell him he was officially absolved.

[Tweeder]

our drafting sucked back then anyway. Capers' first round picks were terrible.

Biakabutuka

Carruth

Jason Peter

these guys did nothing.

not all of the them did nothing!! :eek:

[Mr. Scot]

Gantt decided to ask Gilbert himself about the issue.

Thats pretty smart of him to say. Because it never helps if you keep trying to defense yourself.

BTW Washington still has a product from the gilbert trade. They have Portis.

Indirectly. The Gilbert deal got them Champ Bailey. A few years down the road they traded him to the Broncos for Clinton Portis.

For the record, the Panthers passed on Clinton Portis to take DeShaun Foster.

(this after passing on Eddie George to take Tshimanga Biakabutuka)

But Biakabutuka had more potential than Eddie George at that time. Didn't turn out that way, but at the time it was a good decision. I can decide on the two in real time, not retrospective.

Certainly not trying to undermine you in any way my friend...

What always bugged me about that was George fit so much better into the kind of offense that Capers wanted to run, and there were warning signs with Biakabutuka.

One of the more memorable scenes in all the years of Panther drafts: ESPN asking Bill Polian if he had any concerns about Biakabutuka's durability.

Polian's complete, unabridged answer: "None" :sosp:
