Drafted: Round 1, No. 16 overall

GRADE: A+

The Panthers' top pick continues to impress with his dominance off the edge this preseason. Burns has overwhelmed offensive tackles with his speed and quickness, as evidenced by his four sacks in three games. Against the Patriots, No. 53's speed and athleticism were on display as he tallied five tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble. Although Burns is primarily a speed rusher (upfield rusher with a dip-and-rip move or inside spin), he has a good feel for retracing his steps when he rushes past the depth of the quarterback's drop. He demonstrated that awareness on his strip-sack of Jarrett Stidham, which resulted in a turnover for the Panthers. Burns also notched a sack on an inside loop as part of a "T-E" game (defensive tackle goes outside and the defensive end loops around and comes through the inside gap) in which he displayed outstanding balance, body control, and burst. With Burns also chasing down the run from his stand-up position, the rookie looks like a star in the making as an edge defender.

I was skeptical of his lean frame but he's been far better than I anticipated at this point in his career. 

It's not just his speed, it's his fundamentals, high motor, and football IQ. Dude knows where he needs to be on each play. He also plays the run tremendously well. 

Very happy with what I've seen so far.

Can’t really say he’s going to be great based on preseason games even though the Pats gameplanned for him. Let’s see what he does when the real games start.

 

And just wondering... is it just me or does it seem like Ron is talking about Burns as little as possible. Almost like he’s trying to hide him.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
