[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 758672, member: 10441"] The Hayward and Perry ones kill me. Similar circumstances in terms of potential, flashes and injury and production. The only difference one saw his play decrease in a contract year and saw 2 rookies perform at a pretty high level along with Sam Shields and was deemed expendable. NOBODY said **** when he wasn't re-signed. Perry on the other hand, had his best year in a contract year, stayed relatively healthy and we had nobody behind him and a Edge rusher market that was pretty bleak with Perry being a top 2 or 3 guy so we were in a tough position. Sign him and roll with it, or don't and have nobody else really behind him. Looking back sure, Hayward excelled, let me have him back and Perry was hurt and in and out all year, again. let him walk :) It's one thing to recognize when a decision didn't work. Those 2 obviously hurt us. Would never argue it didn't, but for the love of Pete, at least be able to understand the circumstances and the thought process that goes into making decisions. and sure Peppers would have been nice to have. Maybe we didn't make him an offer, maybe his agent said, don't bother, he's going home. and regardless, had we signed him what makes you think he has that sort of season here? he obviously benefited from being on the Carolina defense rather than GB's? He had more sacks than he ever had with us and he wasn't even a starter for them. I'm not convinced he would have had more than 6 or maybe 7 with GB as a best case scenario considering his past performance here. [/QUOTE]
