Could we have gotten Julius Peppers?

We have the cap money.
I dunno why Thompson didn't go for Peppers.
He is virtually unstoppable.

To me, Peppers is the sole reason we lost last night.
He is stronger, faster, and scarier than Jared Allen.

If we had Peppers on the packers, could you have imagined
the edge rushers w/Peppers on one side and Clay Matthews on the other?

Sorry..just crying over spilled milk.

No way Peppers was going to move to a 3-4 team! Are you high?

Reports at the time actually stated that he wanted to play in a 3-4.

Really?! (open mouth and insert foot) Of course he can do most everything well... what a beast!

The cap numbers are interesting, i never would have guessed it to be that high.

Yes, Rock, but as one of the commenters rightly points out:

Of course these numbers are inflated since teams have had money hit the 'cap number' this year that they normally would have pushed into future years.

Reality is... spending is way down over other years

K.Greene was a pure pass rusher in the 3-4.
Peppers would've been devastating.

Also Peppers dropped back into coverage last night.

So even a 4-3 does zone blitzing.

He would've been great in Caper's system.

Again...Peppers and Matthews on the edges would've been
hard to stop.

By the way, there currently is no cap, so the "cap room" argument is specious.

yeah, but I'm sure that deal would have been far from front loaded. All the same we have PLENTY of cap room at Ted Thompson disposal.

No. We don't. There is no cap.

Could they have gotten Peppers? Sure.

Do they need him? For all the pre-season worries, I don't think pressuring the QB has been much of an issue - at least thus far. Certainly wouldn't have changed the outcome of last night's game (obviously, Peppers being in Chicago did - my point is an added pash rusher wouldn't obviate the constant penalties and other issues).

Full disclosure: I was all for it, way back when it was discussed last season. In hindsight, while it's not at all great that he's in Chicago making things difficult for Rodgers twice a year, I don't know that the need was as great as the investment would have been. Once a new CBA was in place, they'd have to lose a couple key players due to his huge salary.
