lol he was suspended for 4 games his rookie year, he had mono in his 2nd year and he won dpoy in his 3rd.  Goddamn people

I never said I thought he was better than Pep, just comparable from a stat standpoint.  And you're right Burns played 3 more games than Pep and I'm sure he has never played sick in the last 4 years

Looking back at the roster during Peppers first few years with the Panthers there were some names That brought back some pleasant memories. Brentson Buckner, Kris Jenkins, Mke Rucker, Mike Minter, Dan Morgan, Thomas Davis. For a time Kris Jenkins was amazing.

I really wish they would move away from the defense-first philosophy. Maybe they will with this coaching staff 

I think they're taking a wait and see approach to some extent. For instance, right now we're defense first, dink and dunk on offense. This is operating from the expectation that Young will be a game managing QB, so he needs a lot of help with the run game and top quality defense.

However, if Young comes out and lights it up, and plays beyond current expectations, then we'll see a quick pivot to offense first, budget defense. Then we'll put the ball in the air and try and be a high scoring potent offense like KC. It comes down to Young. Right now he's seen as our game manager. If he comes out and takes games over and elevates the team, then we switch to targeting elite weapons for him. Depends on what happens.

You're right Peppers had 32 TFL and Burns had 43

Anyone attempting to compare Burns to Peppers is either delusional or never actually saw Julius play in his early years. There were many times Peppers was very clearly the best football player on a given field and he simply imposed his will on an opponent with no actual resistance. Tackling Plummer at the 1 and then the 99 yd interception return on the next play as one example...

Stats or no stats, Burns is nowhere near that level right now - no 'hate', he just isn't. Also, Pep played his early years when the I/Pro formations were still offensive staples and power football was en vogue. Burns would be eaten alive in that setting but a young Pep would still fit right in in today's NFL and perhaps be even more dominant.

I said in my original post that I thought Pep was better, but the stats were surprisingly comparable

But but but the stats........

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
