Any baseless Peppers speculation?

I'd love him back, but it would be a bad decision for him IMO.  He can still improve, especially in his coverage.  But, I'd be really surprised if our team wins more games next year or if we beat OSU.  So, if a major part of his decision to come back is to win or beat OSU I'm afraid it would be a disapointment for him.  

I'm so glad he was on our side.  He is an amazing young man and I loved having his skills, confidence, and passion on our side.  Maybe I should leave it at that, but if you can't vent on a message board where can you?  So, I'm gonna go ahead and say it, even though it may not be a popular statement (although if you're honest I'd bet you agree).  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disapointed by his season.  

He had a great year, no doubt and I'm holding him to an awfully high standard, but he was at no point in the same league as Charles Woodson.  Despite the early comparisons, I know he was not the same sort of player because Woodson was a lock down corner and that is not Jabrill's game, but he also did not have the sort of impact on games that Charles did.  Jabrill only had one punt/kickoff return for a TD in his entire career.  He had a few rushing TDs, but none in the losses.  He had one interception off a tipped ball yesterday and he had 4 sacks this year.  All of those are great stats, but I don't think he'd be a Heisman candidate if he wasn't such a heralded recruit.  

This unrealistic expectation is unfair to him and this doesn't make me like him any less, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disapointed in his impact on the games where we struggled.  I don't recall him doing a whole lot in Wiscy, Iowa, or OSU.  Going into the year I expected a few more big plays at key times to help us win games.  I never really thought to myself "Jabrill will make a play to bail us out and win the game."  I think his signature moment was the TD against MSU, but he wasn't able to do that sort of thing as much as I had hoped.  He dominated inferior opponents, but had some struggles against some of the better teams.  He is a phenomenal athlete, is fast, is explosive, is positive, smart, and energetic.  He also probably helped us get Rashon Gary.  I'm so happy he is a Wolverine, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect more.  I sometimes feel a bit bad for Jordan Lewis who IMO was a better player and was overshadowed by Jabrill.  It's not fair to expect that much of a kid, but that's how I feel.

that if Jabril didn't help the team to a B1G championship, he would be considering heavily coming back for his senior year.  Not sure where he is at with his degree, but I think he'll be back again to lead this team to a chamionship next year!  Go BLUE!!

when he left after a less than satisfying end to his promising college career at Michigan, but then the Panthers ttraded up to the second round to draft a guy that most Michigan fans thought wasn't going to do much until he learned how to block and run better routes while improving his hand, eye coordination. Truth is, the kid was right to go. He's still a Michigan man and he went to the Superbowl in his first season. Now, he's counted on as a regular contributor for his team and he's getting better in what would be his rookie season. He's had some big moments and TD's for the Panthers, but he's still far off from what many thought he might be as a freshman and sophomore in Ann Arbor.

I suspect Peppers will have no choice but to leave based on his draft status, especially if it's as as high as some speculate. Guys like him don't come around very often and the NFL can't wait to steal them from their unpaid mortgage pool of college talent. We should just be grateful that Peppers represented our emotional interests and team and will always be a Michigab man and continue to support and enjoy him as he moves ahead in life. He's more than earned our respect and admiration for his exploits, albeit all too brief.

not for football for education. 

No degree yet...4x state hs champ-wants a natty or big championship...wants to beat osu....we had a lot of players that could've left last year and stayed-lewis would've been t15 pick
