Maybe it's because I'm out in the PNW, but Burns doesn't get near the love as he does in Carolina. I have to listen to to Seahags, 9ers, and Broncos fans mostly and they all say the same thing. If you want to neutralize Burns, run at him. The Seahags fans I know were more worried about Luvu than Burns. I don't get the sense they have the same value on him as a player than Panthers fans do.

Or you could say because we can't make a deal, we'd be willing to take less just to get something. I think it all comes down to how bad Fitts fugged this up and also what's the contract number Burns really wants. If it's Bosa numbers, we may have less buyers than we hope.

That's going to really depend on how bad Fitts has fugged up this contract situation. If everyone knows we are far apart and aren't a contender for playoffs, then they wait unless they are hoping to make a SB run like the Rams were. Burns makes it to FA, even with the tag, the Panthers have almost zero leverage to negotiate anything. The longer we wait, the weaker we get in terms of trade value.

FA should be used to get the last few pieces you need to make a SB run. Paying big contracts in FA to build your team is pretty much a way you guarantee consistent top 10 pick.

Can we trade JJ for TMJ straight up. We'll eat the 13m and TMJ can go ride the pine in Denver. Mims looks like the real deal but for whatever reason Peyton won't play him more.

So is Puka Nakua and he was a 5th rd comp.

At this point, how much worse can it be. Either he's competent or he's not. What we have now is an absolute joke of an NFL offense.

Been a strategy of mine for years now unfortunately

The fans have taken lumps for 6 straight years. Its hard to listen to be patient when 3 other rookie coaches are showing significant signs of getting it together and we're plodding along. If you don't trust BY to make those throws, why is he starting? Limiting your playbook to help your QB only helps the defense. We can't run because defenses don't respect the deep ball. Our oline is playing like poo, no doubt, and that is a huge problem, probably the biggest if we're being honest, and playcalling isn't far behind. I'm not saying BY may not end up being good, I hope to hell he is. But right now, you have to play to win and if that's Dalton, so be it. Either win, or Frank and Fitts can both GTFO.

The problem with this statement is, if you don't trust Bryce, he doesn't need to be starting. If they trust Dalton more, and he's performing better in practice and game situations, then he needs to be starting. I know it's not the norm for a number 1 pick to ride the bench, but if he's not read, he's not ready. We're looking at a potential 1-2 win season right now if things keep going the way they are. If winning matters at all, you start your best option, no matter who it is.

It's going to end up being what Kobe did to the NBA just before he was drafted. Charlotte just happened to be the ones to go through with the worst trade in NBA history.

I don't know man. Letting your name and NFL legacy get obliterated like that for money? That just seems like such a non NFL guy thing to do after spending your life working to get to that point of being able to leave a legacy.

If you ever want to coach in the NFL again, you walk. Think Frank is getting another job offer after this?

Because fans are so fuging frustrated that this owner, GM and HC has our new franchise QB playing worse than Zach fuging Wilson. At this point I trust a poll on the Huddle to make the right decision more than Tepper, Fitts or Reich.

With a few exceptions of superstar players, it takes coaching to bring college level players to the NFL game.

If you're referring to me, I'm not a fan boy of Gman. Just stating the obvious about Hurney contracts.

Gettleman also had to clean up the cap mess Hurney created. We were scraping the bottom of the barrel at some positions because that's all we could afford.

In before this ends up in the TB.

How many passes do we see across the NFL on a weekly basis that the receiver isn't open but the ball is put where only the receiver can get it? A NFL QB has to be able to make those throws too. I genuinely think the reason we're seeing so many WR screens is he can't see over the linemen very well. At Alabama he had time behind one of the best lines to wait for lanes to open. Right now he doesn't. You can only anticipate so many throws.

You're wasting your breath.

Makes you wonder just how bad Deonte Brown is.

No matter who wins between Chicago and Carolina, the Bears will still get the 1st pick.

That was just mind boggling.

Don't want fans to boo, play better. It's almost as simple a concept as this offense.

Rivera was trying to tank. No one will ever convince me otherwise. There's no other explanation for playing Haskins as bad as he was, then cutting him right after the game. He just got out tanked by Peterson in Philly.
