He's a good pass rusher. No one will argue that. He's definitely not a complete DE though. His angles he takes to the ball sometimes are not great. Wanting to replace him with 2 1sts was a good deal but that's over and we move on. 

I don't think he's a defensive end. hes a 3-4 edge. Beyond that hes an elite athlete and can play in space and coverage. we have seen him take picks to the house and so on. Other than being suspect in the run game i have 0 complaints about him. and hes super young. Core guy potentially a HOF talent.

Picks to the house?

or maybe straight pass rushers are not the unicorns that some on here make it out to be

Oh, they are. A lot of them just bust because a lot of the 1st rounders are drafted on pure athletic ability. They have the tools to become elite but the bust potential is very high too. If they weren't unicorns pass rushers wouldn't be the 3rd highest paid position in the league. QB, WR, edge rushers. That's your top three.

When has he taken a pick to the house?

I really don't understand the hate he gets at times.  He's an elite pass rusher. There's a reason why we fielded the offers we did for him. The dude is a very valuable roster piece. 

With that said, we're gonna continue to suck until we fix our coaching and quarterbacking problems.

Burns gets some stats but I don't feel like he's a game-changer. I'm admittedly not glued to the TV this year though so perhaps that has changed this year. I understand keeping him but given his limitations in the run game I would have leaned towards taking the Rams offer.

Pass rushers are only game changers if you're a competitive team. Hell, this is true for pretty much every position outside of QB. QB is really the only position where one guy can significantly change what you are as a team.

    • I miss many of the OGs like @ladypanther Zob had a bad off week and came in here to do some mopping and a couple of the 10 year 15k post account he just banned over a silly disagreement, just odd behavior from Zob. A Pessimal deal happened with Lady and others. I tired to find a new forum and could not get around the signing up part...same for discord. Its not perfect here by any means, but I still feel welcomed here for the most part and this place does have the most freedom. I hate how the right vs left BS nearly cooked this place, I still believe in removing the litterbox, toxic as hell and lollolols @ anyone coming into a team forum to talk about pointless politics of the uni party turds.  @Bear Hands you saved this place with your activity. It helped offset the lost of OGs and the knowledgeable that leftd.    It would help for new members and I do get the spammers deals, just got to mod them away and hope opening the door brings in fresh blood. 
    • Young went to bama and Brissett went to nc state.
    • That seems about right. No higher than that for a bottom third qb with two years left, including one expensive year. He played well enough last year to show he is startable. It depends on whether other teams thought he has any upside left and whether he's been hindered by coaching and surrounding cast. I think most teams would answer no, but if they thought he could step it up just a little I could see trading a fourth or fifth for a bridge guy/top tier backup.
