Everybody who thinks that Julius Peppers is going to turn into a happy camper is dreaming. I believe he must hate Carolina worse now than when he made his original statement.

And you know this how??

Or this another salvo of crap on the wall to see if it sticks??

Peppers is not jamming the FO up, any more than the FO is jamming him up. It's all business. These are the rules that both sides must play by. Everyone knew that there was a great possibility of it coming to this type of scenario. The concept of a "tag" was created for a reason, and by its very nature is meant to "jam" one side or the other, or both sides together. It's all business, and it's kind of irrational to blame one side or the other.

Ok, to all of those out there that think Fox couldn't get everything out of Pep, I have two words that will shatter any and all arguments that you have and they are "Michael Strahan" why is this important, because Strahan broke the NFL sack record with Fox as the DC for the Giants, if Fox can get Strahan to break the NFL sack record you could say that if anything he's one of the most qualified people out there to get the maximum out of Peppers.

And I agree with Buckner on is if Peppers hasn't reached his potential after being in the NFL as long as he has, he has no one to blame but himself.

This has been my position as well. Micheal Strahan, Bruce Smith, Reggie White has seen double and triple teams their whole career, so how did he get so many sacks and stay diruptive? Heart and fire. Pep, in my unbiased opinion, has had the same rap from college follow him in the pros: he takes plays, and sometimes whole games off.

He has all the potential in the world, but maybe is comfortable just being that, nothing more.

      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
