Peppers, Allen similar, and yet extremely different

[PeteRozelle]

Allen has dropped of quite a bit I have in my FF team and he hasn't done poo

Allen gets a lot more double teams now. Peppers does not...

if pep had 2 stud dts he would lead the league in sacks.this year he has also showed a lot more emotions on the field.he stays in the opponents backfield but there is just no pass rush coming from anywhere else. this team has to get a long term deal done with him.

Why do you guys keep saying that Peppers would be amazing with a better defensive line? He was playing with Kris Jenkins, Mike Rucker, and Brentson Buckner from 2002 to 2005 and here are his sacks per season:

02: 12

03: 7

04: 11

05: 10.5

Are those good numbers? Yes. Are they 20 sacks per season, best defensive end ever kind of numbers like you guys are claiming? No.

Peppers is a good player with moments of greatness and moments of crap. Not even close to being an elite, Hall of Famer like you guys are suggesting.

if peppers had allen's drive, he would average 20 sacks a year

to bad he dont

Those are great numbers from the LE

and atleast 2 INTs and 5 FF.

You do realize that Peppers holds the franchise record for FF right? He is always near the top in the NFL in that category. And as far as INT's for a Defensive End, those usually are not about drive, but rather luck off a tipped pass or dropping in coverage.
