Harris hit his ceiling here, Chicago just wasn't smart enough to see it.

Same with Pep.

Don't want either back.

:lol:

What did the Bears send to the Panthers in exchange for Harris? Jamal Williams? How's he working out for the Panthers?

while I think you are sorta right, I think both are still very valuable contributing players. I think you are a bit more right as far as Harris goes than peppers.

Harris' primary value is in his leadership ability and I don't think he has diminished in that role.

Peppers, though, really seems to be sorta rejuvinated by going to Chicago. He's done overall quite well from what I have heard. I think people around here forget that sometimes the impact a player has isn't felt on the stat line, and I do think (at least last year, haven't seen a ton of him this year) Peppers wasn't taking plays off and putting in effort to really change games.

If you go on Chicago's forum, they have been VERY disappointed with Pep. He was nowhere to be found in the Lions game.

maybe he's back to his "old self," time will tell, but I think that a large part of the dislike that people here have for peppers has little to do with his play.

      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
