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

Last year PFF had....

Troy Hill as the #4 CB in the NFL, Erick Rowe as the #7 safety in the NFL, Perryman as the number 8 LB in the NFL, YGM ranked ahead of Burns..... 

That's the hill or metric that I'm willing to die on.....  #keeppounding.... data

The problem is if he then goes and balls out this year, puts up 15 sacks, we’ll have to make him the highest paid defensive player in league history to be able to keep him.

The odds aren’t good that he’ll suck in the new system, particularly since he’s still going to just be rushing the passer on most snaps.

Better to lock him up now and maybe over pay his CURRENT market rate than risk having to pay market rate next offseason, which will 100% be higher if he has a good year.

We turned down 2 firsts for him, have to lock him up long term on a deal that doesn’t make him the highest paid defender in the league

I mean, sign me up for the version where he balls out ans keeps doing it. The money will get figured out.

Put Burns next to these guys and see what he does...

Reddick didn't just get the passer in Philly though. 

He did in Carolina the year prior.  He did it in Arizona prior to that.  He has consistently gotten to the QB more at every stop.   

and everyone keeps talking about Bosa money.  Burns isn't Julius Peppers.  He isn't a do everything DE.  He is a pass rushing specialist and people should be talking Reddick and the likes IMO.

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. 

  

That’s not what I’m saying at all.

So, now it's hate on Burns day. 

This place blows ass

nah, people twist things up and call everything hate.  Burns is awesome.  Doesn't mean there shouldn't be a limit on what the team pays. 

The huddle historically has begged for most of the contracts we later have spent years complaining about.  Almost every deal blasted around here was once endorsed here.

I wasn't attempting to portray that as an echoing post.  You happened to bring up Peppers.   And I was then using Peppers to make my own point.  My bad if that wasn't clear.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
