Scout.com has Suggs listed higher than Peppers. Wonder if that has to do with Suggs being almost 2 years younger than Peppers? Interesting seeing how so many think Peppers can't be replaced. Suggs could be available if Baltimore has to use their tag on Lewis and could come at a much cheaper price, or maybe not. I think Peppers, and his agent, might be surprised at how low the offers are going to be outside of Charlotte.

Baltimore won't have to use a tag on Lewis. Lewis will be a Raven for the rest of his career.

They might but I just really would like Suggs here. Really he could play the 4-3 or 3-4 for us.

Yeppers.If you cut him, he'd bleed purple. I wonder what color Pep would bleed?:confused5:

My friend and I were discussing this and we both agreed that Suggs is better upright than with his hand in the ground. Maybe if we fired the whole staff and decided to go to with a coach that used a 3-4 he would be a viable option but until then...I don't see it.

That ranking is debatable. Overall, Suggs is probably the better player but I'm not sure that he's the better DE.

Fox started out as a 3-4 guy. Hey lots of coaches decide to switch but I really doubt we do it.

In the 3-4 he is and thats where Pep wants to play.

That ranking is for DEs, not 3-4 OLBs.

The point is, Peppers isn't as great as some think he is, at least not by all.

Which really doesn't matter, as long as the people we trade him to think hes great.

So really who gives a poo?

No, he's just 6'7" 295 that can drop back in coverage at times and can run like a 4.7 40 time. He's not that great

The point is:

Nobody loves you like your momma. For Peppers, the Panthers Fans were always willing to look past some of his faults b/c we watched him grow up in front of our eyes. He will not get the same slack from fans of another city.

If he was to change his mind and re-sign a long term with us, I predict many in Charlotte would forgive and forget.
