Pep Vs. Pats, AFC East, Postseason...

A few numbers I was looking at regarding the Pep to New England rumors. Everyone should take it for what it's worth, but I was thinking about NC_Biscuits' post saying how Captain Hoody only pays players who have either played for him, or if they have given him fits. Well here is the numbers I found for Peppers, that may help or hurt the argument that he could go to NE.

His numbers against NE speak for themselves, he's dissapeared...

Peppers against the New England (2 Games, Including SB 38):

3 Tackles, 0 Sacks

_____________________

The abysmal numbers he's put up against NE improve drastically against the rest of the AFC East, which supports the argument of him leaving to NE...

Peppers Against The Rest Of The AFC East (3 Games):

12 Tackles, 2.5 Sacks

_____________________

However, if you play for New England, you had better show the F up in the postseason, which clearly, Pep has not done numbers wise...

Postseason (8 Games, Including SB 38)

22 Tackles, 2 Sacks

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not much of a historic-numbers-as-a-referance type guy, but I know Billy B likes players who step up when it matters. But who knows, maybe he's sure he can get a lot more out of Pep than Fox ever has. I personally can't stand the Patriots, but I think if Pep goes there, he will become a HOF lock, and I might even have to buy a NE Pep jersey. (To frame, not to wear in public. Ever.)

Five total games is not really a whole hell of a lot to judge by.

Especially since you knew BB was going to take Peppers out anyway, I bet if you asked him he would be like "yea Peppers don't worry me because I know how to deal with him".

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
