Peppers, ProBowl, Popularity Contest ?

Julius Peppers signed his franchise tender worth $16.7 million, with an addition $1 million playoff bonus and an additional $250,000 for each playoff win; plus a $1.5 million Probowl bonus.

So the question that might be interesting to look at is. In your best estimate at this early date Will Peppers make the ProBowl this year and why?

The reason I think question might be interesting is the ProBowl is in large part a simple popularity contest and all of the bad press engendered in this off season could make it interesting . . . .

The only way he makes it is if he has 15 or more sacks. As long as fans are allowed to vote for the ProBowl the Redskins will always get players in that don't belong.

yep..but think about this, we have more spotlight this year so i dont know if he will have to top last year..just make more of all the opporturnities we have this year..plus with the new quick pressure def and brown on that other side...i think another probowl is very possible.

Yes it is possible he will have lost the votes of a percentage of his normal fans. So I would think he would need a more productive. These folks take stuff personally as if Peppers slighted them personally. Not me but many here on this site

The Redskins? The Cowbitch fans are even worse, IMO

not when it comes to the probowl voting, mainly because the Redskins do some events and ask fans to vote multiple times each. At one point last year they had 15 players leading in probowl votes from the fans. If it was just a fan vote the starting offense for the probowl team would have been redskins.

not really.

we as panther fans have blown the peppers situations well out of control. the general nfl public has already forgotten or didn't even know that there was any peppers/panthers controversy in the the first place.

the media has always referred to peppers as the best DE in the nfl, so that's how the general public sees him.

if peppers puts up double digit sacks again this season, he will make the probowl.

Fans only account for 1/3 of the vote.

a few hundred thousand fan votes vs. a couple of hundred coaches and players votes.

who's vote do you think weighs more?

more than likely, coaches and players are going to vote for their fellow comrads, and if not....chances are they'll vote for whoever the majority of the fans voted for.

after all is said and done, the pro bowl consists of players and coaches that the fans want to see....regardless of what the so called rules of the voting system are.

As long as Pep doesn't have a 2007-esque season he'll in the pro bowl this year. The reason why is because he's a household name no matter how you look at it. In fact all this drama has probably increased his likelihood of making the pro bowl.

      um... make it make sense. 200+ yards, no fumbles so why only a 75?!

      They have for sure set the offense up to be successful with a QB that can run it.

      (Potential) 2026 GM Candidate List

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      I don't think Dan Morgan will be gone after this season, but some requested a potential 2026 GM candidate list. So here ya go. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Top/Rising General Manager Candidates: Notre Dame general manager Mike Martin Atlanta Falcons vice president of player personnel Kyle Smith Tampa Bay Buccaneers senior personnel executive Byron Kiefer Detroit Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew Detroit Lions director of college scouting Brian Hudspeth Houston Texans assistant general manager Chris Blanco Former Indianapolis Colts chief personnel executive Morocco Brown New England Patriots senior personnel executive Alonzo Highsmith Buffalo Bills director of player personnel Terrance Gray Las Vegas Raiders vice president of player personnel Brandon Hunt Los Angeles Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander Seattle Seahawks Vice President of Player Acquisition Matt Berry Kansas City Chiefs assistant GM Mike Bradway New York Giants assistant GM Brandon Brown Cleveland Browns assistant GM Glenn Cook Chicago Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham Indianapolis Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds Buffalo Bills assistant GM Terrance Gray Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant GM Mike Greenberg Philadelphia Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby Green Bay Packers director of football operations Milt Hendrickson Houston Texans director of player personnel James Liipfert (may be the assistant GM with Texans now) Baltimore Ravens VP of football administration Nick Matteo Los Angeles Rams assistant GM John McKay Washington Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark Please correct me where I may have incorrect titles and add any names you think may be rising. Again, I don't think Dan Morgan will be fired after this season, but some requested this following the HC thread I made. I personally like knowing the names of these up and coming GM/HC candidates whether we are searching or other teams.
