Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 579703">If you didn't like the previous response, try this one on for size.How do you think GMs rate Peppers this season relative to his nearly $8.5 mil per year contract?  Maybe a 4 or 5.  It's near Pro Bowl money for something less than Pro Bowl performance.That assessment is, however, irrelevant.Peppers was one of the few viable options for immediate help at 3-4 OLB.  There was cap space that was not going to be used elsewhere.  He's probably the front 7's MVP for the first half of the season.  As bad as these front 7 experiments have looked, which likely have the players as confused as the fans, Peppers has been a play maker in a unit not making many plays.  Nobody will characterize him as stout in holding the edge in the run game, but he does everything else at a good-to-very-good level.Isolate his play vs. his contract, out of the context of the team, and the conclusion is "meh".  But would anybody who watches this team week in and week out take back that signing?  No, they would not.</blockquote>
