Gonzalez got out...By not forcing it


Montsta

Recommended Posts

Good observations.

You know, it might help Julius if he hired an agent.

Good call. I've got a lot of friends growing up that are still close to me, and my accountant/financial advisor does wonders with my itemized tax deductions, but none of them would be selected as my agent if I made it in professional sports. I love them to death, but I'm still gonna give Rosenhaus a call...

This for sure, or in the least. Maybe carry hired someone to help him in this area. Something and then maybe on Peppers part, get off the high horse with all the demands and poo.

It should be noted that what little of "forcing the issue" Peppers did was now almost four months ago. Since then he appears to have been patient.

This is what makes me think he'll be here this season and gone next. I really do see this playing out just like Gonzalez's situation. Very vocal at first, and then when he shut up about, he got his wish a year later. I really don't see it playing out Like Ocho Cinco, where EVERY year you hear trade rumors on the guy.

Interesting point. If that is true, who then should we give credit to for making him "shut up about it" in your opinion?

The only difference is Peppers isn't signed to a contract, so if he goes next year it will probably be for nothing. Unless he signs a long term contract this year after seeing his value isn't what he thought it was(unlikely).

I don't know who finally got in Peppers and Carey's ears about how it's never a good idea to work on these types of things through the media. and that they aren't helping the situation by speaking out, but god bless whoever it was. Who knows, maybe Carl Carey finally finished his two week online be-an-agent classes, and the poor guy just didn't understand the trade negotiations portion because they hadn't gone over that yet. So I don't know who gets credit. Maybe Oprah and her free chicken.

    • I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).
    • Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.
    • We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
