Still trying to trade Burns?

Who the hell was trying to trade Burns?

There were a bunch of threads about it in the offseason, mainly about him not being a fit in the 4-3 that Snow would run. I recall being open to trading him for the right haul back then due to some question marks about his fit in the scheme (stupid in hindsight), but there were also others who would've been fine if we gave him away because they considered it a "wasted pick by the previous regime who ran a different scheme." 

 

Now, I wouldn't trade him for anything that a team would consider. Every player in the league has a price (even guys like Mahomes, Wilson, Jackson, etc.) but Burns is about as close as untouchable as it gets for us. Any price we'd accept, nobody would be willing to pay.

I'd honestly argue that Burns is the most important player on our team right now. We all saw what happened to our pass rush when he went out against Atlanta. And he almost singlehandedly kept our defense in the game against the Aints... McCaffrey is our best player, no doubt, but the dropoff from him to Davis is less of an impact than the dropoff from Burns to whoever, and it's at one of the most important positions in the game right now. I can't think of a more important Panther right now. You could say Teddy because of QB and our backups, but I'd still go with Burns being more important to this team.

Ah ok I guess that makes some sense and is at least a slightly defensible position. I wasn’t around during the offseason.

Yeah I can understand the mindset that I had at the time looking back of -- if we can get a relatively high 1st round pick + in return for Burns, maybe you consider it since he seemed to be a better fit in a 3-4 than a 4-3 at the time. 

 

Looking back though, it's clear as day that the dude is just an insanely talented pass rusher in any scheme, and those guys don't grow on trees. His level of importance here is so high that any potential trade wouldn't make sense for both parties. Would have to be an insane overpayment, and Bill O'Brien is out of the league now....

      I don't think anybody with a brain thought or thinks we are a legit super bowl contender this year.  I do LOVE the young core group that is forming. Part of the reason I defend Bryce Young is that if he is not good enough, we're going to waste a lot of this young talent we have anyway.  You don't go from 5-12 to super bowl contender in one offseason unless you get a major injury back or get an insane free agent haul. We currently can't hang with the best teams in the league.  We are also much closer than we were 365 days ago. Progress is good. There's still an outside shot at the playoffs, but I am really excited to see what Dan Morgan does with this offseason. Rico Dowdle a big decision. Jalen Coker, Brycen Tremaine, Cade Mays, Austin Corbett, Brady Christensen, Nick Scott and Christian Rozeboom are the guys we have to make decisions on. But this rebuild should be over next August. Or we have to do it again.  Improvements needed at pass rush and linebacker for sure.  Expecting us to win a super bowl this year is like expecting a kindergartener to do calculus. Is it possible? I guess so. but 99.9% shot it aint happening. We played like doo-doo against the bills, but that was definitely a penciled in loss from the day the schedule came out. Candidly though, if Bryce is ever going to be it, next year is the year we need to start being really good.

      Yeah he put us in too big of a hole in which we had to pass more.  3rd and long with a slow roll out and he tried to tuck in and run with a fumble in the redzone.  3rd and long with an INT on our side of the field.  Then we get to like the 10ish yard line with less that 30 second and no timeouts (even Greg said we have to try to quick throws here), what does Dalton do?  Take a sack allowing us to barely rush a FG out (which missed due to being rushed).  You absolutely can't take a sack there.  Throw in getting sacked 6 additional times with 2 additional turnovers.  He also missed TMac on a TD where Shaq was trying to cover him and missed an open JHJ on a big gain.  Box Score watching won't tell the story yet people are going to try to do it anyway.   Now it's pretty clear he isn't the upgrade that some were claiming he is, but they can spin it differently I'm sure.

      The combined record of teams we've beaten: 9-21. Some of y'all get fooled so easily.
