Been said before and is pure speculation, but would make the Peppers to NE saga a little more complicated. Also, what the f**K is the deal with everybody thinking they are going to get a ring if they sell their soul and go to fight for Capt. Hoody? When was the last time the Patriots even won a championship?

I can see buying into the Patriot mystique (to a point, anyway).

Saw this item earlier though and thought the same thing. If the Patriots are the object of Peppers desire, he really does need to take Bellichick's advice ("get off your butt and sign your tender, numbskull") or he could see someone like Taylor taking his opportunity while he winds up out in the cold.

You are right. If Taylor becomes a Patriot, all this talk of Pep to NE should die.

Lawdie...I have said on here FOREVER that he would probably be a Pat someday if the $$ is right...since before he got dumped by Miami...:P

It's far, far smarter use of their dollars if they feel they have some guys they can get in the draft to convert to OLB to get a guy like JT who can help them transition some new OLBs into their system because he can already play that position than to take a $$$ AND draft pick gamble on Pep being able to convert.

This wouldn't have been as much an issue if pep had gotten on the ball.

If Pep wants to go to the Pats, he'd better do something quick. Sign the tender...let the Pats/Panthers talk. Time is ticking. I know you hear it (how could you not?).

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
