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

If Burns was on the Chiefs he would be an absolute game wrecker. This game alone he crushed three drives single-handedly. On a team like the Chiefs they would capitalize and put points on the board but he’s stuck on a team with a pathetic offense. He’s young and will keep getting better.

You do realize the "haters" don't actually hate Burns. They just don't think his game is complete enough to pass up an early 2nd this year, 2 1sts from a team looking really bad really fast, and the 30m per year in salary we will be paying him. 

You do realize in football there are players that specialize in a certain area right? Rarely are there players good at everything. Along the dline, you have run stuffers, pass rushers, and just space eaters so that everyone else can get to where they are supposed to. Burns is a pass rusher and good at what he does and should be kept. It is not his fault we cant find a permanent compliment opposite to him.

2 firsts in 2024 and 2025 that could be with a different GM. I don't think you "trade everyone and start over" guys actually have a plan it's all on the fly reaction because you're frustrated. I get it I really do. But if we were offered that for Burns his value isn't going anywhere he's under 25. This isn't like hoarding an overpaid running back he plays one of the two most sought after positions in the league right now just let things play out.

Exactly, I was in the trade burns for 3 first and 2nds (whatever equals 4 first round picks) because if the hit rate for a DE is 25% in the first round well... you need four picks because Burns is a muthafugin hit.

Of course I realize that. But his game is not TJ Watt, JJ Watt, Khalil Mack, or any other number of elite edge rushers and we are getting ready to pay him like he is. I like Burns as a piece and for the right price, keep him. I think we could have netted more production overall with those 3 picks and 30m than we will get just from Burns. I could be wrong, but there's risks in everything.

Cool.  Why didn’t you bump this thread last week?

7 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 3 QB hits. What a horrific game 🙄. I don’t react/overreact on a week by week basis, and I also can tell the difference in a body of work on a rookie contract vs future potential and how that relates to his value. We haven’t finished our 12th game yet and he’s already hit double digit sacks for the year. Is he an all Pro yet? No. Does he have the potential to get there? Yes. He’s 24 playing at a pro bowl level at one of the most important positions on a team other than LT and QB

      yeah, I think that side sort of emerged at the end of the prior year too and just stuck.  The Gamecock game specifically.  Didn't he have to apologize for saying too much after Dabo botched that one on trick plays and stuff?  But I mean, I think he was right.  Not that you want your player saying the correct thing publicly lol.   Think he just got frustrated Clemson could of won more games than they did....if it was just about that and not trying to develop DJ and then Cade.  I mean, I do think running and grinding out Shipley/the ground game and playing D....probably could of won some of those losses.  and that CJ Spiller incident on the sideline is a legit dislike moment this past year.   And I largely ding most guys hard for those type things.  Which I probably give him a pass on.  end of the day, I just want a natural pass catcher in the backfield and to round out the backfield better.  I forget about Trotter in this draft.  I do think if a Tiger is signed, it's a front 7 guy.  Just like fearing them overdrafting Shipley.  Part of me worries about Ruke.

      Blank? I’m not a fan of owners being overly involved in draft day decisions, that’s what you hire the GM for, but you should at least be involved enough to veto a decision like this if it is something you would be “furious” over. Also, they knew they were doing this before the draft. The first 7 picks played out pretty much exactly how everybody thought they would. This couldn’t have been a surprise. I don’t know if I’m buying that Blank didn’t know what was going on. Maybe just trying to play good guy with Cousins to keep him on board.
