Money should be the issue

Whether or not it matters to him is his choice but it has to matter for BigCat and the organization. If Pep stays, his cap hit is 16.683 million. His monetary hit over the past three years combined has been 39.492 million.

That would pay him $56,175,500 over a four year stretch. Owners and GM’s throughout the league are blasting the Raiders for signing Asomugha for potentially 45 million for just three years of future production. But at least they are paying for the absolute #1 CB in the league, no questions asked. Think about where Peppers is ranked with other DE’s in the league. Even if he gives us another 14 sacks next year, has his four year production been worth 56+ million? Think long and hard about that and make sure you weigh in the 2007 season.

Put it into perspective, Gross is going to get 60 million for six years. So based on the three names and amounts now mentioned, who do you think has the potential of giving their organization the least amount of production verses dollars paid?

Yes I realize that Gross and Asomugha’s contracts were planned and Peppers is a result of tagging and restructuring but intent is debatable, it’s the bottom line that counts. I think Pep needs to move on and the FO finds other alternatives. Everyone will be better off (except perhaps the new team that signs him).

      well, the comparison is to last year.  The OL is a 180 degree from that.... and overall on the season they have had better skill talent for the same QBs behind a MUCH better OL.    So yeah, the O not looking any better overall is a red flag for Canales.

      I just want somebody to settle into that Hangartner role and I may give Mays too much credit. He played so well early and has fell off since injuries crept into his vocabulary.  He was struggling to get push on those goal line runs today.

      You cannot say it doesn't matter who is playing QB ever in any circumstance. The first two games of the season, Bryce was standing in the pocket with time missing throws left and right. We were running the ball well, but even the gimme throws Canales was setting up, Bryce was missing. Then you start Dalton, boom easy win at Las Vegas. By week four's end, three of our best defenders are seriously injured, center injured, 2nd best veteran WR hurt, and best veteran WR quitting on the team.  Canales is a rookie head coach, and he definitely has had some see what sticks moves. But players are being schemed open, the rookies are progressing nicely, and you have the albatross of some terrible lack of talent to phase out. I give him credit alone for pulling Mingo, Thomas, and going with the better/younger producing players. The scheme is better, he just needs better players and I am not going to write him off until he gets more talent, starting with QB!
