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.

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...

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      Unless its 2021 renfrow, Moore is 30, jimmy horn was picked 208 in a weak draft.... I mean they just rid of Clowney cause of number of snaps, so Moore could follow that. NFL is unforgiving missing a full year and deal with disease is very hard to over come.  The only locks are- Tmac, XL, AT. Coker is close, but if he shows up in poor shape, he could be cut.  If horn wins the 5th, all George has to do is show he's more valuable than the listed above. renfrow could be a PS guy as he continues to get back in NFL shape. Moore has been on like 8 teams and just a fine fit with the Dave system.  I mean for the first time in I don't know when, there is a real battle to make the #4-#6 WR room. It's good to cut good players...  Lastly who knows, one or two injuries hit and George easily makes the 53. I got him currently as the #6. 4 others are right there too, I heard Dave say Kobe Hudson name during a presser. He's in the mix too.
