Another dumbass post worried about someone else's opinion. Perhaps you should be enjoying the game instead.

What a dumbass post. Just shut up already and take the rose-colored glasses off. There is bad and good, both today, and he could've gotten Chark hurt at least twice. Deal with it.

It was not an ideal throw, like many of them early on. He has made much better today, like that TD. Is what it is.

Robert Smith calling out Burns...

Oh can it. Throw should have been to the outside where there was no defender. It was not good placement. Deal with it.

Now that is a throw by Bryce. Very nicely done.

Bryce is really trying to kill Chark today, isn't he? Not a good throw.

Eddy showing exactly why the field goal last week was not the gimme it is portrayed as.

Which is definitely less than he's worth, but between Carolina giving up the leverage and Burns having a leaner stat sheet they don't have nearly the market that they did last year.

Uh yeah, yeah it is. That whopping 12/22 for 157 with some very bad misses doesn't tip the scales in a net positive favor.

Doesn't change that he currently sucks much of the time. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

And Horn is down.

Didn't have to since he touched the ball before he touched the receiver and didn't have a hand screening the face. Was definitely a bit of good fortune involved there though in terms of hand/arm placement.

And there's Eddy with a chip-shot miss. Imagine if that had been the kick last week

If you're talking about the roughing play, no it wasn't. Was very good defense with some fortunate timing mixed in. If something else and my stream is behind, then I have no idea.

Bryce with another exemplary half of football, showing why he was the #1 overall pick. Let's see what the second half holds.

If Bell doesn't go to his knees there on that tackle he probably stops him short.

It's like people thin that suckage is a zero-sum game. It's not... plenty of suck to go around on this team, and the amount is uncapped

Burns can be better at times than Floyd and Fowler but yeah, accurate sentiment.

My thought exactly.

Declining that trade just threw all of Carolina's leverage out the window. It is still.mind-boggling that it happened that way.

Current Maxx Crosby money IMO, $22-23MM a year. Sweat got $25MM a year w/ $73MM in guarantees and is a much more complete player even if a step down in pure pass rush ability, so I struggle to justify that same amount with Burns, but that seems to be where the market is at. I could see Burns with that total amount but lower guarantees/more incentives. This is what I've been saying all along, but Burns has made it more obvious for eveyone this year now that all eyes have been on him. Good player who can be great at rushing the passer but is subpar vs the run (but has made some incremental improvement this year) and has not been a major liability playing more coverage this season, appears early in games but vanishes late, doesn't change the game or make big plays at opportune times.
