i like burns and but sacks- while a ??? stat- hes never had 10 in a full season. Sure pressure is top 5(i think). His run defense is below average too. Hes not a "5 tool" player per say.....and to give him 27per/____ man thats a tough check to write each week when the stat line is zeros.

heres another one, since hes been the panthers basically won 5 games each season. if you want life changing $$$$$ you better be making it happen on the field, which is the issue.....

still want him on the team, cause without, its scary......reddick out played him the last two years and hes getting 15per....

He had 12.5 sacks last year

Fingers crossed that the team can keep Burns, Brown, Chinn, and eventually Horn as those four are key parts of the defense. Getting another pass rusher and some LB help for life after Shaq would be a huge boost next season (unless we find answers on the roster this season, of course).

While I know he wants to get paid; he's going to wait and see what happens in SF with Bosa.  I think Burns is set to really have an explosive year.  Does he deserve Bosa money?  No - but he's going to try to get close.  

I'd like to see the Panthers get him signed ASAP so that he can just go out and play.  With a, hopefully, better balanced team, with a better scheme, I hope that Burns totally dominates out there.

Burns hate is delusional, but I don’t mean that as an insult: it’s an exaggeration about the player he is/isn’t.  It happens to all of us from time to time. I think some over analyzing is happening due to his upcoming contract, some animosity is being held due to the Rams trade offer, and people are naturally terrified of his cap number hamstringing the team….

 

That said, he showed he belonged right when he came in the league, has improved every year, became a top 10 guy last season, and is entering his prime. His contract will have some projection in it, and that’s okay. Dude is 25.

He has the respect of the staff,  other teams, and the locker room. There’s always things to improve on, and for him, it probably is run defense, but I can also find examples of Peppers getting run on in his day too. Sometimes it was his fault, sometimes it was scheme related. It’s a complex game.
 

He’s a damn good player, and he deserves to get paid. Bryce being on a rookie deal gives us flexibility too.

You pay him the same as Watt.  Here is a link to the most sacks the past 4 years.  Now, he isn't "top 5", however, you need to put a little of the past 4 years in perspective.

  • How often did the Panthers fart around and "drop him in coverage"
  • Numbers 1, 4, 5, 7, 8 all play a specific "rush" position.  Burns is getting ready to do so for the first time in his career.
  • Some of the other players on the list in front of him had a legit secondary pass rush threat so they were not facing as many chip blocks or double teams.
  • He came into the league much younger than some of these other players and has been ascending in production, size, and leadership
  • Yeah we gave up two first round picks
  • "You don't get nice things on Temu"..... If you want someone Elite, you have to pay them
  • Lastly, and IMO, most importantly.....  You set the example to future players that if you are drafted here, develop here, the TEAM WILL REWARD YOU.  That helps build culture.
  • The cap is going to increase significantly again next year to above 256 million.  That increase alone will cover his salary.

"Burns has recorded 30.5 sacks over the last three seasons — seventh most in the league — and his 174 total pressures ranked fourth.

I think bringing up Peppers is sort of relevant.  I don't think it is Burns hate to acknowledge Burns isn't a Peppers caliber DE.   Burns is more of a passing rushing specialist variety of DE.  And there should be a pay difference between the 2.  Bosa falls more in the tier Peppers once occupied than Burns IMO.

You mean when he was on the sideline for at least one of the Mike Even's bombs?  Where was his help last year?  YGM?  Or are you referring to his pass coverage that Wilks and Snow?

He was single covered why would he need help?  But the answer to the question was burns was bad vs TB.  PFF - 55

and behind Reddick.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
