Peppers Or Abraham?


PeppersOut

sorry- but I would take Abraham. He's more an impact player and shows up more during critical moments. If you don't beleive me then ask Mac or Quenson Buckner...they don't think Peppers is better.

i love abraham, and he is an elite pass rusher, but my god i hold my breath every snap hopin he doesnt get injured, what you guys got with peppers is a good thing, you guys should resign him or franchise him

A better question is who gets the better human growth hormones........I mean since the doctor here in Columbia was incarcerated. ...Peppers had a real off year. Abraham has many ties here in Columbia(being a Gamecock).....has unusual muscle injuries.....strange viral infections for Peppers.

With that said....Peppers is a better all around player because average tackles keep him all around the line.

At least Abraham collapses the pocket when he is all good. He brings little else.

I would take Abraham Lincoln if he helped us win.

You had me until I pulled this up read the weaknesses. I do think he played DE during the Zona game...oh wait that was Peppers.

From Mel Kiper Archives:

Abraham Lincolon- 6' 4' 170lbs Home School 5.37 40 yrd dash

Breakdown

Tall and rangy but very slight of frame. Has an extensive medical history that will be scrutinized by teams including malaria, physical trauma and smallpox and rumors of syphilis. Good motor. Very intelligent and makes the most of his physical abilities. Comparisons to Tyler Brayton.

Weaknesses

has to overcome a prior assassination. Death. Age.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
