So 9 or 10 DEs with fewer sacks are better DEs. Just making sure. Regardless of where you put him and how many awful takes you have, I’d really be more apt to engage if you didn’t exclusively post about him after a loss. 

How about this

 

If the pff grade on Burns is greater then 60 from this game I will be banned for a week.  If its lower then 60 its you.

He's not great. He's a slightly above average player.

What’s hilarious about all this is he’s not even my favorite player, I just think he’s hideously under-appreciated by fans such as yourself. 

When does your ban from last week start?

Why should I, when I can just avoid this thread like you did?

How the fug have I avoided this thread when I am the one bumping it?  Are you fuging high or something?  I post weekly about burns play during the game?  He got abused in the first half against det and the defense made adjustments and he had a good half in the 2nd.  Its in my history feel free to go back and read.

I’m the high one? You’re the one who thinks Brian Burns, third among all DEs in sacks, is worse than a dozen players with inferior statistics. 

You jumped at the chance to bump this thread this week, but when Burns has a good game, it collects dust. You don’t get to bump threads after bad games and pretend they don’t exist after good ones, then question MY sanity 😂

So do you want to accept my bet or not?

peppers was in the dpoy voting in his 3rd season.  What in the holy fug is Carl talking about?

He also came here at age 37 to be a situational pass rusher and retire at home and gave us virtually the same production Burns gave us this year in his first contract year lmao

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
