Big panthers/unc fan, but man ooo man if peppers just meet the right person/people he could have set the NFL records book on fire. Still one hell of a career and he was still producing that 17th season. No one seems to last longer than 8-9 seasons now(minus QB&STers). I feel he could have the best TE too.

Yeah he wasn't half bad. Got a couple sacks and disrupted a few plays in his career. During that hall of fame career he found time to eat Chris Simms spleen on the field after sacking him also I believe.

I think the actual hit was Al Wallace IIRC

I think it was actually Al Wallace that took that spleen. But I've slept since then so you could be right.

From what I remember about that draft, Peppers was the clear best player. The only question was should the Texans take Carr who wasn't a great QB prospect or Peppers who was the better player. Once Carr was the choice, even Scott Fitterer couldn't have screwed up that draft pick.

      Right? I mean if that’s not the biggest indictment on how shitty Bryce is.

      Bryce Young benched

      By t96 · Posted

      I don't agree it's "much better." Bryce has been absolutely god awful, but the D has also allowed the most points in the league and as bad as Bryce is there has not been a single bright spot from the offense around him. OL is yet to be seen, yes I saw the stat on pressures but it paints an incomplete picture considering Bryce panic checkdowns so quickly. I'm not sold on Canales' scheme yet either. We will know much more following Sunday's game with Dalton starting. This year's team might be better than last year, but I'm not convinced yet.

      Canales presser

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Of course he’s having regular meetings. We literally just benched our 2023 #1 overall pick. Canales was hired for the exact same reasons that we all wanted to see happen in 2024. Figure out if Young could ever be the guy. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to think they likely saw the same poo all the announcers and fans saw. I agree that is 99.999% likely that Canales walked into Tepper’s office this morning and said, yep Tep, it’s as bad as we thought last week. The kid ain’t it and we need to move on and decide what we’ve got on this team and Dan’s gotta jump on the scouts and figure out the next QB.
