Burns is literally just a pass rusher. You can site his leadership, but his main on field contribution is pass rushing. 

I know Reddick was a one year rental, but lets not lie about why he wasnt retained. He is on a 3 year 45m contract and we are going to give Burns something like 5 years 140m.

You obviously don't value Burns as the team does.

Nobody anywhere in this thread said they didn’t want him. They simply explained why it was unrealistic we could have retained him. Stop with the dramatics. 

I’ll say it. You can’t bookend a defense with Reddick and Burns. Both of those guys get washed out too easy. You can never have enough good pass rushers, but you have to be able to stop the run. We could not consistently set the edge and maintain gap integrity with those two playing at the same time, it failed.

Switching to the other side of the headline, does anyone know what the "problem" with Houston is?

I mean his sack totals alone suggests he was an elite pass rusher, yet the contacts he was given and the fact that a lot of teams were willing to move on from him tells a different story. And I have never heard him talked about as real elite.

Has he been on anyone's secondary team so you know more?

      I mean, yes, there is a difference between looking at a box score and watching film.  But PFF has a big subjective aspect to some of their grades.  That's how you get a 2/4 being better than 3/5 with a TD.  You aren't using stats at that point or factual events, but subjective analysis of plays.   And it's not like it is the same subjective analysis applying across all the players.   Same guy grading BY's incompletions (which are putting him over the top) isn't grading everyone else's incompletions and completions.  So it's different subjective takes/viewpoints applied.  There is no way everyone at PFF views grading out a play the same.  Then it all dumps into the same spreadsheet.  Hit the sort button.  Sometimes I feel it gets really weird and and collective data starts saying some weird stuff that just isn't true.

      Yeah, Sanders had a very nice debut preseason performance but the folks acting like he's arrived based on that performance are getting way out ahead of themselves.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I won't be surprised if Graham disappoints. Maybe not outright bust but never lives up to his draft status. The more I watched him at Michigan the more I came away impressed by the other Michigan DT. I think he might be the real player. Usually when you have two high level prospects in the same college unit one of them ends up getting fraud checked in the NFL as being largely carried by the other guy. Peppers and Ryan Sims at UNC comes to mind. Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown at Penn State, etc.
