Everyone talks about the prima donna Tom Brady playing at a high level at the age of 40 but what about an almost 40 year old DE still getting double digit sacks and playing only half or less of the snaps... 

Id say that’s more impressive

According to a report by Scott Fowler at the Charlotte Observer, Peppers does not want to commit yet, but is leaning that way.

. . . a source close to Peppers indicates the star defensive end is leaning toward playing but doesn’t want to commit to it yet.

Our Pep source on here is right yet again. Good stuff

Peppers is the "Tom Brady" on the defensive side of the ball.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd call him more Charles Haley than Tom Brady (though thankfully without the locker room antics).

Pep playing in the trenches into age 40 is just insane. Brady never ever gets touched without a flag. Pep battles physically in the trenches every damn play. Pep is way more impressive than Brady.

Awesome. We NEED him back. Beyond Addison and Horton we have zero proven NFL depth at DE. Hopefully Hall develops but we'll have to wait and see.

Julius Peppers (38), Panthers
According to his age, he should be washed up. But that’s been true for five years now. As a situational pass rusher, he’s still in the NFL’s upper echelon.

Peps probably going to see how his rehab from surgery goes.  Hoping it goes well - I'd  like to see him play another season.

He's certainly a genetic freak, and it would be great to have him back. I have no doubts he can continue to produce at this ripe age. That boy ain't normal. ;)

Pep is a freak of nature in the best possible way.
