Pep just got exposed

[RSXNova]

Sportscenter was talking about FA's when Pep and Haynesworth came up. They call Haynesworth the better lineman and then show Peppers getting owned by Clady in the Den game.

[GSO_Pantherz]

Yeah I just saw it too. Merill Hodge compared the two for a moment. He said that Peppers, although very good, is not consistently dominant whereas Haynesworth is much more consistent and draws more attention from other teams.

I saw that. Peppers is a perfect athlete and a great defensive lineman but he's not an excellent defensive lineman like haynesworth. Not consistent enough.

I think Peppers realizes this as well and that's why he wants to move into a system where he can better use his speed and athleticism.

Everyone got owned by Clady this year. Dude gave up half a sack all year.

Or, arguably, where he has more talent around him and is more free to half-ass it.

I remember a year ago when Pep's poo didn't even stink and his tears cured cancer (if he were to ever cry, that is).

[pantherclaw]

Wow, and this is considered being exposed?

yep, the dude stonewalled everyone.

who didn't see this coming?

just like I said last week. we are gonna get nickled and dimed by any suitor we parade him in front of and this deal is gonna take all year. The media, who swooned at his every mention last week is already setting the tone of doubt. What do you think a GM is gonna do? GM's are WAY smarter than any media talking head as far as evaluating talent and assigning a risk-based monetary amount to it.

In the end we are gonna get a disgruntled employee or a weak deal that exhausted all of the time and resources we needed to put into the rest of the team.

LOL at all of you who cheered when the tag was placed on Pep.

Oh so it would be smarter to just let him walk with no compensation at all. Riiight.:ihih: You should be our GM.

[Carolina Husker]

LOL at all of you who cheered when the tag was placed on Pep.

Please let us know how you would have preferred it to turn out...

Don't see how this is going to go bad for us. If we gets picks for him we save cap space and can move on. If he tries and signs on another team we can always match the terms. Or he can take the one year tender. That looks bad on the cap space but saves us the 30-35 million we would guarantee. We get him for one year with no obligation long-term if he underperforms.

Worth remembering that GMs don't necessarily turn to sportscasters for analysis.

Another thing to point out is it's going to look like Haynesworth is consistent. He only plays about 60 percent of the snaps for the titans defense. So when he's in, he's full of energy.
