Nah, it is a simple question asking for opinion.

Pick one. There is no wrong answer. It is an opinion based question. Not a pass fail type question. Just a simple question designed to illicit debate. In that vein, it worked.

Exactly what I said.

And it works...

In what world would you take Jenkins over peppers lol. One of the best defensive ends in NFL history over a(pro bowl caliber) run stuffing DT? Sorry but give me pep and it's not even close. On any given play pep could not be blocked.

Before overheating and acl tears Jenkins was lot more than a run stuffer but I am willing to be you haven't been a fan long enough to remember that.

He was virtually unblockable in any aspect of the game. You'd have to be asinine not to place him on par with Peppers. Jenkins was the NFL's best DT, and it wasn't close. Even when he left Carolina with a weaken mindset and knees, Kris was the frontrunner for DPOY with The Jets.

Comparing a pro bowl dt to one of the greatest pass rushed and most freakiest athletes ever? This isn't a real conversation is it?

The thing with Jenkins is that his body just broke down carrying the weight that he did.

 

Peppers is an athletic freak yes, which has led to a prolonged and healthier career.

 

Now in his prime, Jenkins was the top DT in the league and everyone knew it. He consistently blew up double teams and he made our defensive line.

 

Unlike Jenkins, it was always a debate whether Peppers was the best end in the league because some games he just wouldn't show up. His lack of consistency will always be talked about. Maybe expectation was too high, but with his body and athleticism, he should have had 20+ sack seasons. He never had that drive though.

 

Jenkins caused chaos to the interior line every play during his prime and I have yet to see a DT perform like he did since.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
