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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
