So there was a drive by poster here back around December who claimed he had a source our scouts and staff LOVED Brian Burns and he was among the top player they liked in this draft.  (This is before reports Rivera wanted to move to a hybrid 3-4)  and rhe dude took some heat on here

 

I wish the guy was still around.

Burns was known as a twig, 235 soaking wet couldnt cut it etc etc etc.

Burns measured in at 250 today

 

 

Oh also we recently just hired Everett Brown as a......LB coach.

I was really down on Polite and Burns coming into this but I believe this opens things up quite a bit. With these weights they could end up ahead of Ferrell and/or Sweat. It could also put them in play for us especially if there's anything to this 3-4. I may be a little optimistic considering how much water weight you can add in a short time. Lets see if they look like pumpkins in drills tomorrow.

That'd be awesome because give me Ferrell or Sweat all day everyday. I'm not necessarily opposed to Burns and/or Polite, but yeah, I'd much prefer Ferrell or Sweat. Those are my top two potentially realistic hopefuls and I haven't quite decided who I prefer over the other. Wilkins is my #3.

Measurable's don't mean that much IMO. The heart (desire to play the game), along with natural talent and football smarts means more. What makes Luke great is not just his skills, but his smarts and overall desire. He's football 24-7. That leads to production and making the players around you better.

Exactly my favorites too, even Wilkins. Torn between Sweat and Ferrell as well. This could end up playing out nicely. Bet Burns shot up Green Bays board if that weight sticks. Hope the QB's kill it as well.

Burns is not a finished product by any means and the Panthers need to do a lot of homework on his desire to be great but if he has the work ethic he could be an amazing pass rusher.  He has a lot of tools to work with but definitely would need to get stronger and add teachable skills but he is really talented now.

I think overall Polite is better right now but Burns upside is a little higher.  It’s close though.  Love Polite.

Everyone just assumes Nick Bosa is amazing...both he and his brother have been good...but hurt a lot.  Are either of the dudes dominant?  Dunno.

Yeah, won't shock me a bit if some other pass rusher or multiple other pass rushers end up being better.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
