Well some of it could relate more to what 89 talked about.  He said 2 weeks ago is when he would have demanded out of Charlotte. 

so we likely have guys that want no part of a long rebuild.  There window is now. 

 

I think that was more specific to the WR he was talking to (likely DJ Moore) based on the state of the offense. I don’t think he meant every player should be demanding a trade.

man yall listen to any dude on twitter and take as law. yall have got to do better. Once again Fitt and Wilks are playing for their jobs they dont have to worry about next season because they may not be here. They are trying to win and you dont do that by trading your best players. All these reports should be taken with alot of salt.

Feel free to post a legitimate article that has Brian Burns saying he wants out of Carolina.  All this ridiculous talk based on some twitter moron 

I retracted in the 3rd post after finding out about this guy & asked a mod to consider closure.  All good.

I didn’t that comment as a reference to anyone specific though.  I think 89 was simply saying that teams that find themselves where we are at…..are going to have players ask out.  He would have.

Unless someone is offering at least 2 firsts for him, you don't even answer the phone, this one is easier than CMC.

Best case scenario, we find a way to sign him to a long term deal in the offseason and keep a potential yearly all pro candidate.

Worst case scenario, we can't work out a contract with him in the offseason due to the cap, so we tag him and trade him then for a haul.

This isn't CMC where he could get hurt again and nobody would want him in the offseason.  Burns has already shown elite potential, has no real injury history, and isn't even into his prime years yet, if he were to go on the IR today and not play another snap this year he would still have significant trade value this offseason.

Trading him now doesn't make any sense unless you get a massive return as we can't lose him for nothing as he'd be our franchise tag.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
