Is Burns really worth backing up a Brinks truck?

Huddle now: Pay all these defensive players the big contracts they want! We need them! No to 1st round picks!

Future Huddle: Why did Fitt pay all this money to these defensive players? They aren't worth that much! We're in cap hell and we're 5 and 12!

Don't forget:

If we trade away Burns, we'll never get another sack again! He's the only one on the roster and only one we could possibly sign for, trade for, or draft that will ever be able to get a sack!

It’s not rare to find a good pass rusher outside the top 10.  The fug are you talking about?

It may be more like top 20 or so but look back at the last several drafts. The majority of the best pass rushers were taken near the top of the first round. Myles Garrett, Bosa brothers, Chubb, Burns, Parsons, Chase Young and now Hutchinson looking like the cream of the crop in his draft year. Similar to QB, you can find later round picks making big impacts on many teams but if you look at the overall number, there's a high bust rate outside of the 1st (and even within the 1st). I admittedly might have overstated it but unlike many positions like guard, safety, linebacker, corner, tight end and so on, it's more the exception rather than the rule that you're day 2-3 rookie pass rusher has hopes of being an impact starter.

No, Burns is not worth the contract he is going to get. He's empty stats. None of his 8-9 sacks a year adds to the win column in a meaningful way. The Panthers should have taken the trade.

people here really believe the “build around the QB” approach is viable and then you get posts like this trying to rationalize why it isn’t working

The first thing we’d do after trading him is try to draft someone as good as him

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
