Which of our two best players will make it to the hall of fame first? Or rather, RIGHT NOW, who has the best chance of making it to the hall of fame between these two? I'll go with Peppers because as good as Smith is, Peppers has been more of a model citizen and that kind of thing factors into the decision at times. Really, there's no wrong answer here, just wrong reasons

Smith simply won't have HOF stats, unless he can perform at the same level for 5-6 more years, which is unlikely. The year with the broken leg ('04) and the year without Jake ('07) really hurt his numbers. That's a likely 2,000+ yards that he missed out on. Plus, a lot of people don't give him the respect he deserves right now as a current player, so I can't see why that will change after he's done.

Ex-squeeze me? A-baking powder?

I think that Peppers will have a really great shot at making it if he plays at a high level for another 5 years or so. Say he averages 10 sacks a year for the next 5. That will put him at 120 sacks. That will put him around the top 12 of all time....if he could average 12 a year it would put him right around Lawerance Taylor.

Peppers is the younger player between the two. We have a very legit super bowl window right now, and with our abundance of young players like Williams, Beason, Godfrey, it is highly likely that window will stay open for a while. If we were to win ONE superbowl with both players, from a performance standpoint, Smith gets the nod. However, when the press and other players give subjective evaluations, Smith's anger might be his downfall

Godfrey, a man that hasn't played a single game in the NFL, with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart ahead of him and you're already giving him HOF props? That's the end of it, lost credibility at that point...

You're right, I was thinking Goodson, my apologies...

I still don't think you can even think of a player that is only in his second year in the NFL as a HOFer, it's just nonsense...

      Packers game predictions

      With the state of the OL the talent level of the opposing team and the venue it would be a small miracle if we don't turn the ball over let alone sustain drives. We squandered 8 drives against the winless Jets.

      I don’t have the energy right now. Not finished licking my wounds and complaining.  Preliminary thoughts … Loss. The awakening of rolling with RICO is a week late and they will shut our running game down (I watched some video and our receivers are sucking at their blocking assignments for the most part. Which most receivers do). It will be on Bryce to carry us through the air. Big test for him, good luck   I can’t do scores. We’ll lose the game not sure it will be that close.

      It will go one of two ways and depends who plays in the game. Canales gets his head out of his ass and starts Dowdle. Young manages to start. Cade Mays and Damien Lewis play. Running game gets going. Evero comes up with some scheme to slow down the Packers offense. The game is close but the Panthers lose an excruciating one at the end.  They haven’t put together a good game against a good opponent yet so I’m going to wager this will be an epic massacre. 50+ to 10 After what we saw against the Bills I have little hope for option A and fully expect option B.
