Also, to be clear. I like Burns and would never say to get rid of him if we didn’t get that offer. I think even without the trade offer we will likely overpay him as it was so smart of us to wait until the cap got ratcheted up to extend him if we weren’t going to trade him.

I just don’t think it’s as hard to improve a pass rush as people think. I listed out and mentioned almost 20 guys above changing teams or getting drafted and again I set the floor at 9 sacks. The drafted guys include the past three years so I’m sure more 2020-2022 draftees will hit that mark. You are talking 7-8 new available pass rushers each year that hit 9+ sacks.

It all depends on what you think the best strategy is to build a team. I like Burns as a pass rusher, but he's not a complete DE right now, especially against the run. We haven't had a QB since 2018 Cam. If we think Stroud or Young are the guys, we need the picks Burns would have gotten to trade up. It's not ideal because you obviously want to keep your edge rushers, but if trading Burns can get that franchise QB we've been missing, I think you have to do it.

You’ve got rookies and 2nd year guys like Highsmith and Hutchinson and guys like Smith and Miller who missed a year as well. If you looked last year Burns doesn’t make the 13 either. Other younger guys who just got to the mark and didn’t have it the last 3 years.

That’s why I just took this year’s 9+ to see how many were drafted or signed recently.

Either way, it’s not this impossible task and honestly just getting Burns lite with a FA makes the trade having 3 really good picks.

Burns had 12.5 last year, so he surpassed this 9+ mark you’re stating. 
 

Either way, enjoy the game and I’ll gladly resume this tomorrow with you!

I don't get the "trade Burns" argument. We had a total of 35 sacks last season. Burns had 12.5 of them. That means literally 1 out of every 3 sacks we had was recorded by Burns..

A LB Frank Luvu (7 sacks) was second  on the team with 7.  No other lineman had more than 5. For all the talk of Derrick Browns improvement he only has one sack. Our DT combined for a total of 2 sacks on the season. 

We just can't assume we can replace that type of sack production in 2023 if we traded him for a haul of draft picks.

We need to add players to the line to complement our best pass rusher. Trading him would make our defense worse.

JMO but sacks are an overrated stat. A guy can have 3 sacks and get burned every other defensive play and most people would think he had a great game just looking at the stats. I'm far more interested in how many times a player severely impacted the offenses ability to move the ball or establish a rhythm. To me, that much more accurately determines the effectiveness of a defensive player.

If that's the case then trade Brown. Either way, Chicago was like one of those dog doors on D this year. Carolina can send someone on D (even Shaq) as part of a package and Chicago will be better than they were this year. They need proven players more than they need additional picks. Someone from Carolina's D stops them from bidding against themselves as much during free agency.

Brown would be much easier to replace than Burns. He's a good player, but  so far he hasn't shown that he's a player that you build your defense around.

On a serious note, how much do you think Brown is worth to another team? I would be surprised if we got more than a 3rd for him.

I think you may be right on a third...maybe a second if a team is has a huge hole and thinks he's good value for money (i.e. to extend him is eight figures over five years rather than nine figures).

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
