Brian Burns New Number

Players who change numbers have to buy out the inventory of their existing number.  Adrian Peterson was going to change his number from 28 to 23 as a Viking.  The bill was going to be astronomical, so he stayed 28.

In Burns statement he said "they are changing my position."  Players who change teams are able to change numbers without charge.  I am curious what position change Burns was referring to that allowed him to make his jersey change fre or cheap.

He's a linebacker now and will play olb in the new 3-4.

I’ve been as big of a Burns critic as anyone but just like everyone else he deserves a clean slate this year.  Hardly anyone played well under Rhule and I don’t think anyone got better.  Let’s see how he does with a real coaching staff and a scheme that puts him in position to succeed.

I honestly don't like the new number policy. One of the things I preferred about the NFL vs. college was the jersey numbers by position group. It just made the game easier to follow IMO. It's not a big deal but I did prefer the old way.

Also not a fan, but given the circumstances out of preferred Horn take zero rather than Burns.

As an aside, this would mean they're classifying him as a linebacker (duh) because under the rule, offensive and defensive linemen aren't allowed to wear zero.

Same number of meaningful games that we have played in his tenure

Edit: dammit @Ricky Spanish

I’m over him not getting traded, purely on the value we could have gotten to help Young, but that win and in Tampa game last year was about as meaningful as it gets. With Horn out, we needed some pressure from him and got very little. Luvu had a way bigger impact that game.

Booooo hate it. Back my day of the 90s being a zero was a bad thing ..(drop that zero get with this hero) 53 fit and was not a big time # for the Panthers before. Just can't understand anyone wanting to be a nothing.. but to each his own.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
