Anyone see Burns sitting out?

Nobody knows exactly why he isn't practicing, best guess it is contract related. Don't know anything about his agent. Bosa hasn't signed either, but he is at a different level.

Injury concern before the contract is negotiated? Being a hard ass and seeking to much $$$? If he does hold out, who plays?

Don't need these problems a week away from the first game.

He isn't gonna sit out but either way we're about to *overpay* him. He has all the leverage here considering we turned down 2 1sts and a 2nd round pick from the Rams. He's waiting on Nick Bosa to reset the market. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up getting 26-28m a year.

He’s making 16M this year under the option, which is like top 12 this year.  Like I said in the other thread, players agree to the terms of the CBA, including the 5th year option and franchise tag, then want to pitch a fit when they have to play under either.  Honestly, 16-18M is prob right for Burns anyways.  He’s not top 10.  He’s certainly not top 8.

Pretty sure statistically burns is a top 5 edge rusher in the NFL. There was a Reddit article about this. He gets to the quarterback more than almost every edge rusher in the league (pass rush win rate)  
 

I get you have a sour perspective on this but 32 out 32 NFL team would pay burns. We will pay him.

And he whiffs more than any of those other guys.  Burns simply doesn’t finish most of his opportunities.  Bosa has more sacks and missed basically an entire season.  They aren’t in the same league.

Pay the man!

 

He's literally our pass rush!

 

Tepper can't do poo right. This contract should have been done in the offseason.smh

So you want Fitt to pay Burns 25-30M a season?  Before we even see how he does in a 3-4 scheme?  His numbers don’t even remotely justify him being top 3 in pay at his position

I’m not bitching about it.  Burns is the one bitching.  I’m simply stating a fact backed by plenty of statistics that he isn’t top 8 at his position in the NFL.

You will be crying for Burns when you see this defense without him. Hell we saw that in the preseason.

 

Burns is our best defensive player. What is with this fanbase and their lack of respect for Burns?

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
