Edge rushers must not be looking good in camp, i said it was a issue right after the draft and people really want to get rid Burns and still be competitive at the same time.

Think about that foolishness for a second.

Every single one of these loudmouth Panthers fans that scream about the first round picks we turned down would be frothing at the mouth when they saw our putrid pass rush post Burns trade. And if and when he lit it up in L.A. they would be calling for Fitterer's head. It's easy to make plans for some picks years from now. Not easy to sit and watch and live with the results in the meantime.

Love it for '23 and helps bring a vet to the locker room that can help the younger guys learn the position from an All-Pro. 

He won't be our every down backer but will add a new wrinkle to Evero's D. DJ, and Barno are probably a year away still. Take the pressure off them and YGM for this year and let them be Houston's shadow all year.

Bunch of chicken littles sheesh. The plan all along could have been to sign one of the FA guys and they were just waiting for the price to be right with the right guy at the right time. Was anybody expecting a 3rd round pick to come in right away and be a 3 down edge? That’s on you. Was anybody expecting YGM and Haynes to be immediate pro bowlers switching from 4-3 to 3-4? That’s on you. And this may shock some people, but Burns may not play literally 100% of defensive snaps. At his age, Houston is another good rotational piece. That’s about all we can say.

People want to get rid of Burns because they don't want to pay him a big contract.

 

 

Oh my gosh 😮...only if you could get by on not having to pay top players in the league big money it would be so much easier to build championship teams am i right? Too bad it doesn't work like that..

They must really dislike what they’re seeing at OLB opposite burns and Haynes back must be a concern 

He played a rotational role in Baltimore last year, only started 1 game but played in 14 and had 9.5 sacks.

He will probably be used in run packages. He is the heaviest edge we have by far. 6’3 and 270.

I was anticipating this. Not Houston specifically, but someone at OLB/DE

I don't think people have been paying attention to the trend of seasoned vets with stuff left in the tank essentially waiting for Training Camp to conclude/almost be over before they sign. Happens every year now, vets hate TC.

That was my main thought they could have had this agreement in place for two weeks at 34 he doesn’t need training camp just a couple weeks to ramp up his conditioning. This will give him about 4 weeks of practicing to get ready makes very good sense for both parties involved. He definitely doesn’t need that Spartanburg heat to prepare for the season just a couple weeks with the playbook and he should be good to go.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
