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.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
