Been on that side since he was freaking drafted. I wasn't a fan of drafting a lean DE/LB to fit Ron Rivera's desperate attempt at a 3-4 scheme. For some reason the Panthers were too dumb to sell high on him.

I’m watching Red Zone, haven’t seen a single snap of the Panthers on offense. Have they even gotten a first down yet?

Any fan who thinks Burns is worth more than what the Rams offered is subscribing to losing football.

Looking like the worst team in the NFL again

Are you f*cking dense? The point is he’s not worth what the Rams offered for him. He’s not a complete DE let alone even an elite pass rusher. The Rams offered a STUPID level of compensation and the Panthers turned it down. It’s no secret why this franchise is a bottom dweller year after year.

It’s WAY more than he’s worth. It’s more than the Panthers traded for Sean freaking Gilbert. This franchise is retard level stupid for turning that down.

Let’s all enjoy when the Panthers pay him $100m+ to watch him get obliterated by TEs and whiff on sacks. Could have had a kings ransom for him.

100% agree. It's the kind of move made by mediocre franchises committed to losing. Burns wasn't even close to worth what the Rams offered. I just can't believe the moves (or lack of moves) this team makes sometimes.

I agree with not trading Moore for that much. He has a team friendly contract. Burns is a whole other story.

He sucks against the run and hasn't even posted double digit sacks in a single season. That was a trade that could have righted the Sean Gilbert trade.

100% agree. As if the Darnold trade and subsequently picking up his $19m 5th year option to sit on the bench wasn’t enough of a reason.

Depending on what they were offering I would have listened but considering the Packers struck out on all these deals it seems like they were being cheap asses

Sounds like you think Tepper is the real GM and you are probably correct

You’re also assuming David Tepper has even the slightest ability to construct a winning franchise which he has shown no inclination of being able to do…. Turning down the Burns package was a massive mistake and Rhule isn’t here.

For now. If he turned down that package and the Rams stink in 2024 and 2025 we will regret that trade. He hasn’t done anything worth keeping him for IMO. But we will see how he does without Rhule making fathead decisions

100% agree. What a stupid decision. Primarily made because Burns is a short term puzzle piece for a GM who very likely won’t last long enough to use those draft picks. That was QB level compensation for a tweener DE who sucks against the run and hasn’t even posted double digit sacks in a full season. What a dumb franchise we root for.

You forgot to add Clete Blakeman to the list of crooked refs I saw the Falcons game as an example of how overrated the defense is. Run defense is ATROCIOUS. Gross-Matos is garbage. They built the core of the defense outside of Brown to be small and fast. It’s a disaster to body up and defend the run. This team won’t win many more games with how bad the run defense is especially late in games.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I like Wilks and hope he turns the team around, and I think he deserves a fair shot after this season. But Tepper is still the owner and the abject fool who is still going to be paying Rhule’s paycheck for the next 4 years. So I can’t say I have any faith in this franchise to do anything but lose.

I expect a close game with the Panthers finding a way to lose at the end, per usual. We’re back to 2020 Panthers football. A semblance of competence but an innate ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

And here I was thinking we were the team that was cursed

maybe Darren Sproles is a better comparison. He will definitely make noise in the NFL.

We will see what Texas is able to do against them. I do like Deuce Vaughn though and could be a good target for the Panthers in the 3rd or 4th round. Both RBs in the Texas/K-State game could be targets for the Panthers.

Side note Deuce Vaughn is a CMC clone.

Kansas State Wildcats use the Panthers growl sound when they get first downs. What a bunch of posers. They're not even Panthers.

Fat Fool isn’t the coach anymore so that’s good
