Yes!

I don't give a poo about how much he gets paid. Hell I wish he can make the most money he can. I just care about him on the field. This defense has no pass rush without him. Get that through your head and stop pocket watching a grown man. You not paying him nothing out of your pocket anyway.

Got it.  Let’s make the same mistake we made with Charles Johnson.  You can’t overpay players out of sheer desperation.  Yes, we are better with him.  No, we shouldn’t pay him like Joey Bosa or TJ Watt.

Maybe he recognizes his worth and value to this defense?

 

He knows he's the only player capable of getting to the QB. Probably why we signed Houston so late in the offseason. Wouldn't surprise me if Tepper is playing hardball.

 

 

And I’m fine with that.  But don’t do a media parade all off-season about awesome of a man and teammate you are by not holding out…only to stop practicing the week before our first game.  That’s what irritates me the most.  If you want to stand your ground, handle it the way Bosa and Jones are handling it.

I love Burns.  I want Burns to sign for the next 10 years.  We are better with him.  I never once said I didn’t like him or that he didn’t make us better.  What I did say, is that he isn’t a top 8 player at his position.  And that’s a fact.  I can like a player and acknowledge he isn’t the best player in the world at his position at the same time.  

consider who you are responding to

Hasn't Burns pretty much stated that he won't hold out?

Then why is he sitting out team practices a week before the opener. Wonder if his agent got in his ear. Money can influence many things, especially if negotiations aren't going well.

Considering Bosa has 5 more sacks despite missing an entire season, I can see where there may be a difference in value. Especially if Burns wants what Bosa gets. 
 

Burns is not Bosa.

Burns doesn’t necessarily want what Bosa gets but it still makes sense for him to see what Bosa gets so he can get fair value comparatively.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
