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 Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
