I’m obviously biased. With that said, he is a damn good receiver, whether he went to UNC or not.

Good answer by the D.

So Franklin can concentrate on ST I heard.

Colts going backwards. Backup right tackle scared to block Burns.

Bozeman killed the first drive with his penalty. Loved Bryce’s effort there. First I’ve seen a run from him like that.

Love the black on black. We rarely play well in it though.

Come on Vikings!

Good point man. It says something if the former team, that knows the most about a player, doesn’t make a competitive run to keep them. I recall the Vikings tried to keep thielen (and their fans liked him), but didn’t want to pay as much as we did.

I’ve never seen such a polarizing Panthers player. Makes pro bowls. Opponent’s OC has to constantly scheme for him. Other teams lining up to trade and pay for Burns. We’re happy trading him away for picks so we can draft busts and then use the money for free agents like Miles Sanders and Hayden Hurst.

Only people right in this thread so far are the ones calling out that all teams essentially have bad drafting luck like this outside of the first three rounds. Do a similar chart for other teams outside of the usual winners with the best coaches and you’ll see the same. With that said, we’ve got to get better with our second rounders. This is why it kills me when anyone wants to trade one of our proven drafted players for picks who will likely be complete busts.

Yeah, its not just the stats. From what I see, he’s the only one on our defense that the opposing OC gameplans for. Get rid of Burns and then we have nothing.

Surprised how little production he’s had… Maybe these vets need to realize they actually need training camp and acclimation to the season.

All of these were interesting that don’t feel like the Burns situation so far. Peppers was a multi-tag storyline where he essentially said he wasn’t going to play anywhere but a big market… Star didn’t want to be here at all and the Panthers didn’t seem to value his future fit. Norman was Gettleman making a really bad decision. Just absolute stupidity, but we may have made the right decision in hindsight as Norman’s play rapidly fell off a cliff outside of the right scheme fit.

First realistic take I’ve seen on this thread. Good stuff! Anyone saying he walks with nothing is clueless to the franchise tag and how this usually goes.

Yeah, and then you can realize we have the franchise tag.

Josh Downs was a baller for UNC the last two years. He has a knack for getting open and making YAC. Drake hasn’t looked as good to me without him.

I think he’s gonna be fine now that he’s handed off the play calling duties. There’s too much going on for a head coach to be calling plays too.

Still has a ways to go, but clear improvement for sure.

We really need our defense to get healthy quickly. If that happens, I think there’s still a shot.

Great job by Luvu, Jackson, Burns and the D today.

Showed some potential today, especially on defense. And well we aren’t mathematically eliminated yet and we do have a very sorry division. Let’s see what happens!

Great job D!

That one was worthy of blame - have some pocket awareness Bryce.

Texans center.

Would be a great problem to have after observing this train wreck so far. Give us something to care about again with this team.
