Peppers Or Abraham?


PeppersOut

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
