Pep just got exposed

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.

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

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.

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.

    • I agree. All of these guys, and let's face it our coaches before Canales, too, were selected to be head coaches not because they had developed weak or underperforming teams during their previous stops. As a matter of fact, the only way to really move up in coaching is to start with a bad program, correct it, win and then move up when a vacancy arrives at yet another bad program, then do it again. Sometimes they are the HC, sometimes an assistant, whatever. But you've got to have some patience. And yeah, there's the Peter principal at work, too, sometimes. That states that people will eventually be promoted to their level of incompetence. It kind of waves its hand at the idea that sometimes people learn a lot from mistakes and grow.  It's really hard to win at this level of competition, this is the HC final boss level for football, from Peewee Leagues and Pop Warner, through junior high, high school, college and pro levels. It's tough and there are only 32 spots per year for the gigs (give or take a couple of mid-season replacement jobs).  We have to remember that Tomlin, Cowher and Knoll all inherited collapsed teams. And each rebuilt them and had them eventually wear out and fall down, too (okay, Tomlin is still holding strong, but entropy eventually catches everyone), but each took a time commitment and good management to rebuild. I wish we could snag onto the winning formula. But you're very right that we can't just change every two years and expect anything but the same restart difficulties each time.
    • Well, I think that's basically a Bryce thing. Dalton is not gonna be a significant media threat to him and is also a very capable backup. So does bringing in a Daniel Jones make a lot of sense if you are just gonna hear the chants for him every time Bryce struggles? IMO, it has been they are sold on Bryce and don't want a threat to his development. Dalton isn't a threat.
