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?).

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

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

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
