The problem with Julius Peppers is he needs to be paid, and he is trying to control the process. He is being selective. We would like to have him, but there's a lot has to fall the right way.

Quoted on the condition of anonymity.

My guess is this is someone from the Pats.

IMO that wouldn't dovetail with the Pats being that team unless they are NOT on his "list". The reason I say that is the "he is being selective" part. What could he be selective about that would make sense besides the team he wants to go to? And if his being "selective" is making things tougher for the anonymous team, my conclusion is that they aren't on Pep's list.

The getting paid part is what they'd have issues with.

What makes me think the Pats is that last sentence echos what Billy boy's said in the past.

The chances of him staying are looking more grim.

I agree with everything but the grim part. While losing him may hurt us in the short term, I think the net effect will be beneficial. He is a good, but not great player, and for the price we pay, he should be great. Better to get two good players (even if we have to wait till next year to get them) for what Peppers cost us.

I'm hoping your right... Although, I won't be mad if he stays, we will need him this year if only to give Brown 1 year to adapt to the NFL.

As we get further and further into '09, I'm starting to feel the same way.

I feel we can move on without him. IMO if he dose not show for camp then he will be way behind everyone else and should be benched till he caches up. Teams dont have to have superstars to win just good players that work together well and I think Meeks will have that.

      In all honesty, no one knows if Dan really pushed for Bryce to be drafted. It's not fair to Dan to say that just because he was a part of the Fitterer regime then he was in full support of drafting Bryce. If the HC, Reich at the time really wanted Stroud but got bullied into drafting Bryce then Dan had even less say so in the matter. Dan was also saddled with giving Bryce an opportunity to compete in years 2/3 because of the cost to trade up and get him by ownership.  Outside of managing the QB position, Dan has made good moves and built a decent roster. Solidified the O-line and D-line, drafted contributors, and made good trades (Mike Jackson), and free agent signings (Dowdle). I do believe that this offseason will be really important for Dan and we'll see whose side he is clearly on. Bryce has had plenty of time and opportunity to prove himself and he has failed, if Dan is a Bryce homer he'll give him another year and pick up the 5th year option. If Dan isn't a Bryce homer, he'll move on from Bryce. Either way, we'll find out this offseason.

      You also have to extend him and probably deal/cut Bryce

      Jones would be what he is if he was on this team, a fairly middle of the road game manager. Still and upgrade but probably not worth the price the 49ers may want for him. If it's not something stupid in terms of ask and he doesn't want something even more stupid in terms of longish term contract, I am okay with a middling game manager until we can do better through the draft. The one thing that wouldn't be terrible is some stability at QB. That has almost never happened under Tepper.
