Burns is probably going to be traded right?

He could get injured and miss the rest of the season, and someone would still give up a first rounder for him in the offseason if we tag him.

He's a 24 year old elite pass rusher, he could be that for another 8-10 years.

I don’t know man. CMC is literally as close to a hall of fame ability we have had in this roster and now you are saying we can get a first for Burns after we pay him what he wants? 
 

Make it make sense.

Unless we go ham to resign Burns why stay when free agency would be his best career path?

and if that's true

why would anyone trade for him when they know he's going away in FA anyway?

There's been literally zero smoke from Burns is unhappy camp and wants to leave but. You know I am posting on the huddle immeately after a big trade happens so what am I expecting here, rly.

True, teams are smart unlike us and will wait the situation out. So our choice is to trade Burns for cheap before we re-sign him or trade him for even cheaper once we give him all that money.

There seems to be a very limited understanding of how importance of position, contract, age and other factors play into whether a player is one you trade or one you try to keep. 

A clue: players who play key hard to fill positions in the passing game, such as disruptive pass rushers entering their prime and still on rookie deals, do not tend to get traded, their very valuable.

A second clue: stars underperforming their contracts playing positions not hard to fill or replace and that do not tend to be the difference in winning playoff games, tend to get traded if value can be received in return.

What coach is going to want to go to a franchise with no good players and no cap room, you can only do so much in the draft.

I’m not disagreeing with you on one hand. But we still have a lot of young talent, a really good offensive line finally and as bad as Tepper was with how long he kept Rhule, it does signal to incoming coaches that they will be given time. And that’s something.

    • That argument could be used for actual trolls. “If you don’t like it find somewhere else to post” is just silly. Some of us are just letting you know, you are sounding like a broken record on these threads. It’s just some constructive criticism. You don’t have to change your ways. I doubt you will. Just wanted to make sure you were aware. Feel free to deflect and use one of those GIFs again. 
    • It went from he has to jump to he has to bend his hips. That’s changing it. I showed you clips of him throwing deep without jumping which means he doesn’t always have to. I liked and like Stroud better so I’m not really a Bryce defender. Just think you don’t have to make up things when critiquing our QB like he has to jump to throw it deep. There is plenty of ammo there without those exaggerations. Oh yeah the “you don’t know ball” argument. Classic. 
    • I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.
