Does Hurney want Pep?

Marty Hurney has said since the end of the season that he wants to keep Peppers.

Do you think he really wants to keep Peppers or is there a possibility that he is saying this to use as leverage for a better trade to another team?

Either way, I think it's win/win for him and the organization.

yes, he wants to keep him.

he has been trying to seal the deal for a couple years, right? the idea for peppers to leave didn't come from him. he wants pep to stay around. i'm sure that JR is fully behind this as well.

the only one actually involved in the situation that wants peppers gone is him. no one is going to try and make it easy. why should they?

I think that you never want a franchise icon to leave the franchise.

Say what you want about Pep and his work ethic but you don't just want to get rid of a guy who can average 10-12 sacks a year, apparently without even trying. Especially if that guy is not a character risk.

I think Hurney most definitly wants to keep Pep if he can.

That explains why Marvin Harrison, Brian Dawkins, Fred Taylor and so many others it seems this season have moved on to new teams.

The correct answer is both. He would like to keep Peppers because of his ability on the field. But if someone is willing to name the right price; and Hurney believes it helps the football team overall. Then Hurney would be happy to see him leave.

I didn't think I would need to clarify but, ok.

You don't want to lose a franchise icon as long as you still think that player is a viable starter. Fred Taylor is what, 32. That's old for a RB. Marvin Harrison is turning 37 this year, thats old for any NFL player, plus he is starting to be an off field distraction. Dawkins is 35, that is also pretty old for a NFL player.

Peppers is 29, and still in his prime. Hurney does not WANT to get rid of him but I'm sure he is willing to if the price is right.

I'm just stirring the pot. I'm a little bored tonight.

Thats a good point, House. With Pepper's motivational issues and now (theoretically) locker room issues he brings to the table, I don't see much of a difference between him and those others. Dawkins is still a solid contributor.

Lockerroom issues?

What motivational issues does he have? He just put up 14.5 sacks and what 5 FF's while being the sole threat on the DL.

He's not a high motor guy, but that doesn't qualify as motivational issues.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
