Hall of Fame

If Peppers isn't a first ballot hall of famer I'll be shocked.

Announced tonight

 

Rumors are he's in.

I GUESS THE HOF WRITERS NEVER SAW 2007

So many panthers fans were happy to see him go and now they're gonna pretend they always loved him.

 

He's in. Congrats Pep.

 

good for him, but he never lived up to his hype

Steve Smith is more deserving

 

It was fans thinking like that is one reason why he didn't mind bolting to the Bears.
Jon Beason even took his turn and threw him under the bus.
"the Panthers started the season 0–3, causing Panthers linebacker Jon Beason to question Peppers' intensity on a radio show in Charlotte, North Carolina. Beason would later admit that he was wrong about saying this about Peppers and said he thought that Julius would go down as one of the best players to ever play in the NFL."

 

I'm not saying he sucked, but always being compared to Lawrence Taylor? Not even close

Yeah he was so great in Chicago, getting cut after 4 years in a 6-year deal because he was overpaid

I'm not trying to rag on him, I just don't think he's Hall of Fame

 

How he was paid in Chicago was the fault of the Bears, not Peppers.
"After a 17-year career in the NFL, Peppers announced his retirement on February 1, 2019.[183] Peppers finished his legendary NFL career with 716 total tackles and 159.5 sacks (fourth most all-time – trailing only Bruce Smith (200), Reggie White (198) and Kevin Greene (160). He sacked 77 different quarterbacks, tied with Hall of Famer Reggie White for the most since sacks became official in 1982. Peppers recorded at least one sack against 30 of the NFL’s 32 franchises. The exceptions were the Bengals (three games against) and the Colts (four games against). He also had 51 forced fumbles (second most all-time) 21 fumble recoveries, 11 interceptions, 82 passes defensed, six defensive touchdowns scored (four interceptions returned, and two fumble recoveries),[184] 60 stuffs, and 13 blocked kicks (second most all-time). He played in 266 of a possible 272 games in his career – the sixth most games played by a defensive player in NFL history."
The others behind him on the sack list I doubt had the same total resume that Peppers does.
Yes it used to irritate the piss out of me when he would keep dropping back into pass coverage. The main stat on that list is the playing in 266 out of a possible 272 games.

 

Most of the big deals you read about are 3 year deals that require restructure after that. But hey you do you.
