Wilson had a nice blitz on an oblivious backup QB. Didn't seem like much and no real pressure from the front 4. It's just not a balanced D, in itself or with the O they run.

Yeah would have been sending one guy blitzing like that all day long if we were just gonna have some lame 5 yard off the line zone thing or whatever we were doing. At least force the QB to rush throws

If we pay him like a top tier pass rushing DE it's gonna set us back tremendously. He's just not a good fit for our scheme and we shouldn't be putting big resources into players who dont fit the scheme. 

I think Burns is good...not great. Top tier passing rushing ends are getting around $20 mil a season. He's not worth that.

He's still young and has room to improve, but if ends the season with less than 10 sacks , and the his run defense doesn't improve ,  then you have to begin planning to let him walk if he wants a top dollar contract.

Imagine our pass rush without Burns.

He's a good edge rusher. Not elite. Not great when being ran directly at.

But he's good. He's the least of our issues on D. 

He's going to be a problem if we give him a second contract that's anything like the hype he receives.

He's a good piece on a great defence. He isn't a cornerstone piece though - I hope we don't pay him like one.

Burns is fine. He's got elite athleticism and contributes more to the team than just sacks. Disruption is production it just doesn't show up on the stat sheet. How much attention is being paid to burns? How many times are they forced to chip him and double him?

Anyone who demands attention from the other tram to scheme around is a asset. That said who is the other pass rusher to take advantage of the 1v1?  This is where reddick is missed. Gross is a jag and luvu God bless his effort just isn't elite anywhere except effort.

He’s not a player that changes the game. He’s not a player to build the defense around. 
 

Browns are running right at him and erasing him. This is similar to last year. 
 

constantly dinged up. 
 

some team is gonna pay him like a game changing DE: let them. 
 

ask yourself who is more important: chinn or burns 

He was literally the only mother fuger who either made solo tackles (scraping or chasing), or made initial contact and actually finished the tackle.

He's a one dimensional player with a knack for not tackling the QB.

Yep

He simply doesn’t finish plays. Most of the top edge rushers got sacks yesterday. 

Same old Burns. If some team is willing to trade a couple 1’s at the deadline for him I’m thinking long and hard about it.

Here's the problems with your proposal, I wouldn't trust the current regime to draft anyone replace him. I don't think the coaching staff is good at evaluating d-lineman. Right now he is our best lineman.

Burns still isn't 25. I'd like to see him stay and become a standout in the league. I just don't think he's worth $20 mil a season. In the NFL, the next man up always seems to dictate the market cost even if he isn't as good as the guy that preceded him.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
