It's not just about Burns. I guess we are on different wavelengths in this convo. No problem agree to disagree.

The only way "the trade" would have went down is if David Tepper truly is a bottom tier owner and didn't give a poo about winning. If he approves that trade not only is Fitterer gone within the next season our stadium that so many people complain about being filled with opposing fans is going to be a home away from home for every other team for minimum 2 years. Who is going to pay to watch that when we signal we don't give a fug about winning and wave the white flag while we wait for future picks that aren't even guaranteed top ten? You can acknowledge Fitterer is not living up to the job but also be realistic that trade would have done nothing to save our current roster. In actuality if we dumped Burns we should have dumped Brown and Chinn as well. Then went all in on the offense. That would be the only way to justify it.

I have the Rush Hour trilogy and rewatched the final one recently and a French cab driver in the film was giving Chris Tucker poo about Team USA not being able to defeat European teams in basketball.

You'd rather let him walk or get much lower value for him in a trade? No argument about Fitterer he has been given pass after pass here because of Matt Rhule and in truth mainly because he preceded Hurney. The Seahawks have not only been doing fine without him they are actually significantly better and that’s with Geno Smith lol.

Woof what a pick that turned out to be. Fitterer needs a win. Get that Burns deal today.

He's basically Chet Hanks but actually talented at something.

Rhamondre Stevenson and Cam Akers. One of them or my flex RB/WR will sit Sunday don't worry lol

Honestly fug the Chiefs and Kelce it's great seeing them humbled by the Lions.

I have other backs ahead of him his projected points are still low currently it's only Friday. I could easily slide him into the W/R spot Sunday morning I'm waiting to hear confirmation about Burns. Fairly straightforward to follow.

I picked up Bijan in fantasy. Debating on starting him because I know my Panthers.

Well that would be an epic fail after declining the previous trade surely we would not get fair value now that he may be disgruntled and if it happened all involved should be fired after the conclusion of the season.

Not checked out at all. But not going to pretend the front office isn't bumbling their way through this Burns situation either.

Bell played what has now become an increasingly devalued position at running back. This is not that.

It's iffy apparently the last tweet was from June? One of those believe it or don't situations. But seeing that Burns is in uniform at practice lends credence to the notion they are likely ironing out a contract behind the scenes. Just have to wait it out.

7 winning seasons in 27 years and people are still talking about that one 5 win season where McCaffrey set some records lol

Not enough data to answer as of yet. It remains to be seen if he will stay healthy or revert back to being dinged up. He was top 5 in touches last season the 49ers damn sure are getting their investments worth out of him. At one point he had a rushing receiving and passing touchdown. Not even we put him out there for all that. I don't foresee that being a recipe for sustained injury free play for long.

You either pay to play or you go back to throwing darts at the draft board hoping and praying you get a stud. In the meantime that new pass rusher will also take time to develop. While that's going on the team will probably not be winning much. Thus resulting in the squandering of our current core. When looking at it from that angle if we sell Burns why not just sell off the rest of the defensive pieces too?

Contracts keep going up and that isn't changing unfortunately. Do you remember how many arguments there were in the lead up to us signing Cam to his first contract extension? That's chump change compared to now. And crazy to think about considering how much he meant to the team production wise. When they sign him I'm going to let it play out. But I am absolutely expecting Burns to hold up his end of the bargain and if he does not I will be one of the first to speak on it.

People in this fanbase have spent years complaining about the Panthers investing steep contracts in positions like running back and linebacker. Investing in a talented 25 year old pass rusher who has the next several years to develop into a dominant force on this defense is not the same as that. Basically I'm getting the sense from some of ya'll that you're saying Burns is coasting and he's only going to get lazy with the new contract. You guys should just say that and own it.

So ready to get this over with and watch some football.

Welp... Get it done Panthers.

What a refreshing take.

Juan is simply trying to give folks on the huddle some common ground to unite on and volunteering himself to be the sacrificial lamb with his clickbait threads.

It's cute you think that's a gotcha post. Robbie was talented and could have been a great 2nd option but he got cocky and bought his own hype and thought he had arrived and stopped putting in the work. He become a cancer in the locker room and that's on him. I still don't recall droves of people saying he was better than Moore. Obviously he wasn't and only a few trolls or goobers would have believed otherwise. You probably should move on from DJ though you already did this with McCaffrey and it got really unhealthy. Don't make the same mistake again.

Fitterer is mismanaging this situation but if he makes that Burns trade with the Rams he's effectively submitted his resignation. 95% chance he's not here to even see the names called for those first rounders. No owner is going to give a GM who was involved in the Matt Rhule fiasco a free two seasons to wait around to see the results of a few lottery tickets that might not even be as valuable anymore when they are finally ready to be redeemed.
