Hopefully someone has already pointed out what a made up stat this is.  Using age as the marker is silly.  Look at seasons played.

By the end of his fourth season, Peppers had 40.5 sacks.

By the end of his fourth season, Reggie White had 70 sacks.

By the end of his fourth season, JJ Watt had 57 sacks.

By the end of his fourth season, Myles Garrett had 42.5 sacks.

By the end of his fourth season, Von Miller had 49 sacks.

Shhhhh. We don't want this to get out. We need Burns' trade value to stay as high as ever. 🤫 

Really though, he's still very young and hasn't hit his prime. If we can figure the OLB thing out, then certainly these NFL execs have done it. Burns is here now playing pretty well with the hand that he's been dealt. We'll tender him and go from there.

Burns doesn't need to be among the all time greats to be a great DE. He is developing towards one, and has been one this season. He's no Peppers. But Peppers started 60 games his first four seasons and recorded 40.5 sacks. So far, Burns has started 45 and recorded 32.5; as a rookie the last half of the season saw him in on fewer than 50% of snaps. He isn't Peppers, he never will be, but fans are surprisingly hard on him for how strong a pass rusher he has been and how he has upped his game overall this year. 

Unrelated... The interesting thing about the trade rumors is that initially we were told the Panthers wanted something along with the two first rounders this coming draft to do the deal. Then a 2nd got thrown in. That we didn't take that makes me think this is a Tepper thing. Maybe I'm wrong.

Another huge 3rd and 1 goal line stand. Tackle in the backfield by Burns. He stops drives and gets sacks which can change a game. Having a playmaker like Burns on the Chiefs Defense would be an absolute game changer and he is young enough to be a cornerstone for years to come.

He’s finally going to break double digit sacks. Now if he can get them in crunch time and not just off blown assignments/garbage time. 

Idk he just had a third down sack and a 3rd and 1 in red zone tackle for loss. That is crunch time even though it’s not the 4th quarter. That’s points off the board for them. That is clutch. He’s not all pro level yet but he is making progress every year.

True but this whole game is garbage time. I need that sack against good teams before the season is over

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
