Interesting read from Breer, as usual:
Is Peppers another Reggie White?
Call me crazy, and I'm sure plenty will, but I'd rather pay big money to a player that is going to play 90% or greater of the snaps than one who is going to play 60% or less (ie, Big Vince - who according to Reiss played 51% of snaps). I'm not explicitly stating that I'd rather have Peppers over Wilfork, b/c I don't know for sure how Peppers projects into this system. But particularly given the state of the league, and the fact that two passing teams just battled it out for the Super Bowl, I think you could make a strong argument that a 2-down run stuffer does not deserve the same $$ that a 3 down pass rushing beast does, in any defense, including ours.
