Like others have said, the scheme isn't a fit. However, even beyond that, some team is going to regret paying him. He wasn't that good last year, and seems to be declining. Miami signed him to a 4 year team friendly deal, he played for Flores in New England. Miami used the team friendly deal to their advantage yo move on after only 1 year of the 4 year deal. He and his agent want put themselves in that situation again.

Was a 3-4 but they played 4 down line men Nik D all the time. Burns play just as much DE as OLB that year. I'm also holding out hope Miller balls out and DE is already set for this upcoming season. Miller also played a lot of DE his rookie year..

Yeah, I thought we officially switched to a 3-4 in his rookie year.....didn't we???

It was a multiple front. Burns was versatile enough to play hand in the dirt or standing up...

But he was the only one...hence all the issues. I'm surprised Tepper even signed off on the change because transitioning to a true 3-4 would take 2 or 3 cycles and he gave Rivera less than 6 months.

No one else? We signed Bruce Irvin. We had Marquis Haynes who fits a 3-4 OLB role better than a 4-3 DE role, same for Christian Miller who was drafted the same year as Burns. The issue with that D was that we sold out TOO hard on rushing the passer. We couldn't rush the passer at all in '18 so we doubled down on speed on the edges with seemingly no thoughts on stopping the run and it showed on the field. It looked like what it was - a 4-3 scheme playing 3-4 OLBs at DE.

So we had three rookies and a pass rushing specialist? You have to have time for your guys to mature or to bring in some true 3-4 OLB that can do more than pass rush. We didn't have that and weren't going to have that for at least 2 full seasons in transition. It made no sense to me why Tepper even signed off on it given changing defensive base systems is far more time and resource consuming than changing offenses.

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.

      In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
