Unless somebody comes offering a QB level trade package, Burns is here to stay and that's a good thing.  1st rounders are enticing, but established guys who have proven it are even better. 

I'd rather have 1 Brian Burns than 1 Shaq Thompson & 1 Vernon Butler for instance. And yeah, 2 first rounders could turn into 2 of the greatest players in the history of the game, but they could also be busts. Established guy who's grown into a leader on a young defense? I'll take that.

Still an extremely big concern for this team going forward. Tepper, you fuging hired a GM, assistant GM and cap guy. Trust them to do their fuging jobs and stop meddling.

Considering Tepper is the owner, he should be at very important meetings like this that involve the teams future.

Since he let the experts he hired do a great job, I would not say his interest in attending could be considered meddling.

You don't really think they were going to trade CMC without consulting Tepper?  You don't trade the face of the franchise without clearing that with the owner first.  I hate Tepper as much as the next guy but him being on this would be expected.  That would be a sure way of getting fired if you didn't.

and then CMC picks up the playbook and the 49ers become the best in the NFC West

Geno and a Rams team in need of a CMC or OBJ are not going to keep a CMC focused 49ers team from taking that division

Or he does what every RB under Shanahan at the 49ers does breaks down. Ask around you might be able to trade that Panthers 22 in for a 49ers 23

Sure, consult Tepper on making a move, include him in the meeting; but "huddled to come up with a blueprint for what they wanted out of a deal" is taking his involvement much too far. The worst franchises in the league are the ones with meddling owners. Tepper doesn't know sh*t about football compared to the experts he should be hiring and he shouldn't be involved in coming up with a blueprint for what we want in a trade.

Agree on football decisions and I definitely blame him for meddling in our yearly QB clusterfug, but draft capital, pick value,  those sorts of things are his bag. Analyzing value of things. Placing a value on something. 

And financials or contract issues that could be part of it, that is boss/owner stuff too. 

Just do not let him pick the coach, the players, none of that. 

I have an idea that would allow him to play with his toy though. Do something like let him have the 7th rounder every year to play with, maybe he’ll get lucky. No one much hits on 7th rounders he can probably do about average.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
