Gross or Peppers?

Peppers

Gross CAN be replaced. One could say he could be replaced by somebody already on the team. If Peppers goes, I would hate to see how much worse this defensive line can become.

Gross and Peppers can both be replaced but with what type of talent? Yes, Peppers is a very rare talent but let's not act like Gross is some no name that happened to become the starting LT. It might even be just as difficult to replace Gross as it would to replace Peppers. Drafting a LT that could replace Gross would have to have us drafting in at least the top half of the 1st round. And if you are thinking about a free agent, good luck on signing one of Gross' talent for anything less than what Gross is going to be demanding.

Right now the offensive line is working and the defensive line is struggling. Even with Peppers that line needs improving, especially in the middle. And if you can't improve that line what good is Peppers? All teams are going to do and have done is game plan around stopping Peppers.

I hope that Hurney can figure out a way to keep both of them. But if he does that he also better figure out a way to improve the d-line as well. It only took 7 weeks for teams to figure out this defense this season. Imagine what will happen if the team returns the same starters on defense next season.

Get rid of them both, the NFL is a league that only the teams at the top constantly rebuild. Peppers I would keep for the same amount that he is getting now, he hasn't played on a level like Dwight Frenney, or a Mario Williams, so why should he be the highest paid DE in the league? Don't get me wrong I love Peppers he has the talent, he just doesn't have the heart.

i want whatever HE'S smoking! WOW...

all freeny can do is rush the passer...period. pep can do it all and DOES do it all.... his play this year should have mollified his critics from last years performance.

williams is a stud. would love to have him opposite pep. that said i still think pep is better and has more experience (obviously).

pep deserves the money and will get it regardless of whether it's w/ us or not. no matter what team he's on he's an upgrade to whoever is already there. period.

God no!! Marshall? GOD NO!!! Marshall gets attacked the instant he's on the field. He's terrible...absolutely terrible

Talk about an exaggeration. He's had some rough games this year but no more so than Lucas or even Gamble lately. Marshall has yet to reach his potential, whereas Lucas seems to be on the down slide.

Anyway, I'd keep Peppers if I had to choose between him and Gross. We already need help on the D-line, so not re-signing Peppers would only exacerbate the situation.

It may be a moot point though, because they are probably going to keep them both, even if it involves franchising somebody.

      Bryce contingency plan?

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Honestly Bryce is a conundrum right now I'm not really sure what we should do with him but I am content on him being the quarterback number one going into next season. I think we should allow him the chance to play out the season to prove that he's the quarterback he can be going into next season.  I would not waste a high draft pick on a quarterback because I'm not sure anyone in this up and coming class is as good or has the ceiling that he had with that said I wouldn't throw away the future I would bring in someone like Justin Fields to have him looking over his shoulder and give us a plan b if everything doesn't go right on a one-year deal. I think the priority right now if tepper wants to make a big splash is find a way to get Travis Hunter that would be option 1AA because he helps with both sides of the field either way whatever you need defense or offense. Make that happen and then go mostly defense the rest of the way and we're cooking.
