Yep. They're going to try to make some more win now moves instead of bottoming out and rebuilding the team the it needs to be done. Looks like Morgan is a yes man just like his predecessor.

Ryan giveth and taketh away

Duke won't need ref help with UNC making bad turnovers like they just did

UNC is playing like they want this game more despite the cold stretch in the first half.

Sounds like sour grapes to me

Refs are letting them play and I like it. There's been a few fouls not called on both teams. Carolina has gone ice cold and let Duke back into the game.

Duke doesn't look like they want to play tonight.

UNC has blitzed Duke so far

vs Round 2 Fight!

Yeah, we'll find out in time. A lot of the guys here that are now saying trade Burns, wanted to re-sign him at the beginning of the season. I was on the trade Burns bandwagon the moment those first Rams' trade rumors started because I never felt he was a game changing talent. Two firsts was a vast overpay. And then it ended up being the two firsts plus a second! Fitt was a terrible GM, but back to Burns. Even mediocre players generally find the juice to play well in a contract year. Burns did the opposite, played it "safe", and is still demanding top end money. That's a huge red flag for me. Burns can't play the run, doesn't rack up a lot of QB pressures or hits, and can't drop back in coverage. For all the poo, Sweat gets on here, he has outplayed Burns the last couple of years when it comes to those advanced stats. Heck, he had more sacks last season too. Burns is a slightly above average third down pass rush specialist asked to play all three downs. That's not the sort of guy you break the bank for nor trade multiple picks for.

I don't know if I agree. I don't doubt that other teams do this sort of thing to get a player cheaper than they would otherwise. That said, these other teams saw the report with Burns saying he "played it safe" so he wouldn't get hurt. And if they paid attention to his tape from prior seasons, they would see he's really just a one trick pony not worth what he's wanting. So, like always, the truth most likely lies somewhere in the middle.

Not even a pity pick.

Ouch. Yeah, that would suck.

I'd go with an electric. Lowes HD

It's the Panthers, so yeah

Haven't watched but the headline works for me.

And at the start of the season people were acting like he was the second coming of his dad

That would be a very Panthers move

They say that might be hard to do since the team will have to go cheap at several positions due to lack of money despite how terrible the team has been. On the flip side they point out that if Young does start lighting it up, the team may consider extending him early because it'll be cheaper. They also point out that the team might end up in the Burns situation again but with Brown and Young instead of Burns.

Cliff notes: Terrible cap management and decisions have boned the team the next couple of years despite the jump in cap.
