I wish we could see Wilks with a better quarterback situation but I think that barring a miracle we're changing gears altogether. But part of me is torn as I have wanted an offensive minded coach but seeing guys like Hackett and McDaniels stumble with two of the leagues most struggling offenses gives me pause. I'm still eager to see what Steve can do with this group the rest of the way.

If we were to hire Steichen, I'd give Steve Wilks a pretty decent chance of sticking around as part of the staff.

They worked together back in San Diego.

This is really the only reason I would listen…the 2024 draft looks like it will have some very good QB prospects and Burns contract demands will be top DE money

The next year's QB class is a game the Huddle has been playing for 4-5 years now....

The thing about Burns is, he's obviously a good player and he has had good production but can we honestly say that he has improved in any way since his rookie season?  We've been saying for years now "oh just wait til he takes that next step" but it's his 4th season and he seems like the exact same player to me.  Which is a very good one, but I'd be much more reluctant to trade him away if I felt confident that he has yet to reach his ceiling, which to be honest I'm not.

I disagree. His first season he was legitimately weak against the run. He didn’t set the edge, he focused on just being a pass rusher. Now he’s a strong pass rusher as well as a good run defender. The only metric by which he hasn’t improved much is the sack stat. There is much more to judge a DE by than sack numbers, despite what many here believe.

This is true. But it can cut two ways as well. What are the odds that the next pass rusher we draft doesn't take that much time to develop as well? We all know the demand here is instant results. So we are waiting two years for the picks and then another 1-2 years minimum to see it pan out. Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say this beleaguered fanbase does not have the patience for that.

Either way, the Raiders were just incompetent. The value of picks doesn’t change because an incompetent FO drafted poorly in the past.

Almost 70% of the league doesnt hit on their first round picks.... especially if they are outside the top 8 picks in the draft. Its not imcompetence, its the field of talent drops off immenselt once you get into the mid first round. That's the point here. You take a great player like Burns... and then trade him in hopes that you hit when the odds arent in your favor. You go from a sure thing to a possibility. It's non sensical. Espeically if you have to wait two years before you find out.

It was ran by Gruden. He had the same contract as Rhule. Full control. Mayock was head of scouting for him.

And now they've got Josh McDaniels with basically his handpicked GM.

It's almost like they see the Panthers of the last three years as a model franchise 😆

Both. NFL teams are throwing us prime time offers because Burns is a prime time talent. Burns has a Panthers problem. The Panthers don't have a Burns problem.

We had Phil Snow dropping burns into coverage on almost 40% of the snaps and people in this thread are stating he isnt good because he doesnt have sacks. That has nothing to do with burns output.  He has been experimented in a difference defensive approach this year instead of putting him where he plays best.

Burns is top 5 in the nfl against the run this year ... he is ascending. The guy is 24 and we are talking about him as if this is the end of growth. You are pulling the plug on what every tema wants.... a young player who is turning into an elite player on the field.

But the Huddle sez he is turrible against the run 😱 shirley you jest!

We’ve been bitching about losing since November of 2018.

Sure it would be great to have extra picks earlier but if the Rams are going for broke and we are a team who can be patient (no coach or franchise QB), I’d be fond of getting a first when Stafford is 36 and has taken 2 more years of hits.

I just think we are crazy to overvalue Burns considering how much he’s about to cost. If Burns had 3 years left on his rookie deal, this would be a different discussion. He hasn’t been $10M a year and 2 1sts better than Reddick.

Also people said CMC was the reason we sucked so much so why does Burns get a pass for being 17-40 since he was drafted?

I don't overvalue him I already said if we are talking two firsts this year and next I'm listening. We're comparing Burns to CMC now? He definitely hasnt gotten a pass haha people have been complaining about him for months. Is every damn discussion about a player from here on going to go back to CMC? Let it go dude.

      I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.

      89 on The Pivot

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.
