Don't sleep on Brian Burns for DPOY in 2021

Carolina Panthers: Don't sleep on Brian Burns for DPOY in 2021 (catcrave.com)

"Having Haason Reddick on the opposite side of the line is a massive boost that cannot be overlooked. The free-agent signing from the Arizona Cardinals is coming off a 12.5-sack season in 2020 and if he proves this wasn’t a flash in the pan, Burns should get more space to work in."

"Couple this with two space-eaters manning the interior in Derrick Brown and DaQuan Jones, and it’s not hard to see why Burns is fancied to enter a completely different stratosphere next season."

I was thinking the same thing, I put a little money on him. Great player great situation!

I really think this is going to be a breakout year for spiderman with the incoming help.

Chinn, Brown, and Burns all are super sleepers

Couldn't agree more brother, I’m so excited for this years defense! I am really bullish on this years squad.

Let’s see it on the field

Opposing offenses are already spending big chunks of time accounting for him.  A bigtime year seems inevitable

We haven’t seen 15 sacks in a season from one player since 2013.

I really want to see Burns have a big year, I really do. In all honesty, though, he has got to make a major step up to even enter the top tier of DE/Edge players in the league. He's close, soooo close, but he hasn't gotten there yet.

Yes, he did have a couple of games last year where he was the dominant player on the field and there were times throughout the year when he was able to cause havoc. But he has not joined that group of players that are elite pass rushers yet.

He's got more help now and he's maturing (he's still learning the pro game and putting on muscle) so the conditions are all there for him but I think for us to just swoon over him and declare him a strong or sure DPOY candidate in June is just ludicrous homering.

I might have to put a couple hundred dollars on that bet
