Peppers through week 5 2008 and 2009

Want to compare that with his weekly pay?

I don't care about his stats, I care about his impact on the game week to week. I'm sick of him showing up one week and disappearing the next. When he influences every game enough to justify an entire offseason of handcuffing a team, then I'll say he's doing pretty good.

No. He in no way justifies his pay grade.

But he isn't the worse peice of poo on the field either. Despite what some would have you believe around these parts.

He's doing what is average for him to do, and apparently the FO thought that average was good enough for a million a game. I don't agree with that, but.....well, you know the saying.

im not justifying what happened during the offseason, because we could have done better. we should/could have a healthy rotation of d-lineman, and such, by adding during free agency, but couldnt afford because he held on to peppers, however, many people, including myself, have really be dogging the guy. and we didn't do it last season, at least i didn't. his numbers are identical right now, and really a bit better since he has 1 less game, and there is still time to build

I don't disagree. I've been defending Pep's play today in other threads. The bottom line is that HE prevented offseason moves and now HE needs to prove he was worth it. I ultimately place the blame on Hurney not willing to let go of a good player even though it could improve the whole team. I've been critical of Peppers, and I'll also give him credit when credit is due, but the bottom line is that he put the heat on himself and now he has to deliver. He's no longer an important aspect of the defense, he's the difference between a good defense and a mediocre one. I don't want to see the same thing from last year, because last year this team had to put up 30 points to win a game. I want a player that will take over a game, because his salary has taken over the team.

im going to write a big long thing tomorrow about the magical statistic "sack" and why people like the OP are drooling morons

I look forward to your big long thing about something specific that makes you look like you know about the overall....thing. God knows you don't spit out enough of that.

It was Hurney's fault through and through, Peppers just took advantage of the situation. Hurney said over and over that he 'doesn't let good players go' and throughout the entire time they were trying to sign Peppers(going back a couple years) they probably could have gotten a great deal for him. Look at what Jerry Jones gave up for Williams. Hurney stubbornly stuck to his guns and allowed Peppers to handcuff him.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
