I'm hoping that SmootSmack is right and there's really not much to this rumor.

I didn't think much of it either until I remembered DS was our owner

Why all the Peppers haters ? It just seems whatever move the Skins make someone is all bent out of shape. I no in the past things have back fired on us but GOT DAMN!!! This is not Vinny calling the shots anymore so lets give Allen the benefit of the doubt.
If everyone else is so smart buy the team and run it yourselves.

if we end up going 3-4, i think we'll do everything we can to trade Carter.

IMO Carter is as good as gone. Once trading is allowed again on Friday I expect him to be moving elsewhere. I hope that we get something for him and don't just cut him.

given Carters performance last year, i think we could get a 4th for him.

Carter has experience in the 3-4, played pretty decent in it at San Fran. I am not sure how he would be used in the 3-4 here, as an OLB or DE, but I think he would be productive. Again however, Orakpo is the focus of the D and he has to be the guy applying the pressure mostly, so I am leary of using Carter on the OLB position as he would be beaten unmercifully in coverage. I think we have a lot of questions about this D and little answers right now.

Umm no, carter did not play good in the 3-4, thats why he came here to be in the 4-3/San Fran didn't want to resign him when he became a FA, because he didn't fit their plans. Carters even said "I'm better when my hands on the ground, in a 3 point stance"

Peppers would be a good signing if we were in a 4-3, but were most likely in a 3-4. Where would Peppers fit? He's not an OLB in a 3-4 and we have too many other areas of need to waste on a talented, but aging pass-rusher, this signing would be like the Jason Taylor trade 2 yrs ago. Why haven't I heard anything about us getting Rolle to play FS? He's a ballhawk and he could let LL use his talents at SS.

My wish list: Robinson, Rolle, Sproles, Bullock. Dansby is an ILB not an OLB in the 3-4, so that's why I put Bullock instead and sign him to a 2 yr deal w/ performance bouneses.

The jason taylor signing didn't work because he's not a run-stopping DE. He doubled his production from 08-09 (skins 29 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 1 FF ---Miami42 tackles, 7 sacks, 1 int, 3 FF) because he played OLB in a 3-4. Granted, JT missed time when he played for us but overall he wasn't effective in our system no matter how many games he started or played in. Peppers is 5 years younger and arguably a better athlete. I'd argue he can hack it.

I don't disagree with wanting to go after Rolle. I don't think Bullock will sign a 2 year deal.

Bringing in JT was a compete joke and it was a knee jerk reaction on Vinny's part. But I've never heard any of JT's teammates question his desire or say he doesn't care about football. When you've got a few of his current and former teammates saying things about the guy that doesn't sit well w/ me.

Draft a guy then if you want another linemen. AH isn't a bust, but he isn't worth what we are paying him. Peppers will be the same I think. We would get production from him, but not congruent to his asking price.

Carter isn't going anywhere, especially not in a trade.
