Great player but we should have been looking at him as already injured for the last few years. He's played 16 games 3 of the last 4 years and 14 games the one year he hasn't.

He's comfortable at right, so we might decide to have elite right side play and then just help the left side with backs and tight ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Peters might end of being one of those obvious HOF choices that just falls between the cracks as time goes on. Like Steve Wisniewski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Nine time pro bowler, 6 time all pro , played at an elite level for 12 years, how is this guy not a HoF LT. He would have been an all pro and pro bowler this year if he hadn't got hurt.The only thing Peters didn't do is win a Super Bowl. If this guy isn't a HoFer, who is? Sometimes Matts just makes the most ridiculous arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say 1a and 1b, with Thomas being a little bit ahead. But if Thomas is a HOF player, then so is Peters. He is a once in a generation type LT. Oh please... Take the Green Shades off and you'll see how silly that sounds.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might've been his best year to date too, he was playing unreal and not just for his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I don't know if he is or isn't a HOFer, but the dude has been a monster for a decade. I'd hate for this to be the way he goes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 If I'm the niners, I'm calling the Eagles about Staley and trying to gouge the heck out of them. May not happen, but its at least worth a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your constantly hurt and playing through injuries its only a matter of time before something goes out. But watching him play and seeing that he was a near constant on the injury report points to a body falling apart. High level player and a true warrior to play at this level for this long, but this is a major suprise. It honestly would have suprised me if he made it through this season without a major injury.

Dude, guys play banged up literally every single week. Peters has definitely had some general wear and tear the last few years, but a catastrophic knee injury like this has nothing to do with him breaking down and everything to do with being unlucky and having a 300 pound lineman cave his knee the wrong direction.

Don't really see it happening, we already lack a lot of high picks this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be up against the cap this year...but last i heard, you have about 5 million in space, and the remainder of his salary this year is just under 5 million (assuming it happened after this week, would be about 4.125). The next two years aren't an issue - his base goes down substantially in the final 2 years of his deal - 4.8 million which is ridiculously low for a decent starting left tackle. He has a 500k roster bonus and 200k work out, so his cap hit is still only 5.5 the next years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
