REPORT: Panthers and Brian Burns not at all close to extension

I’m not fully out on Fitterer despite my frustration with how this situation has been handled. I do wonder sometimes though how things would be had Tepper hired Andrew Berry like he reportedly wanted to back in 2020. I believe the only reason he didn’t hire Berry was because he didn’t want to get rid of Hurney at the time and they were trying to get Berry as an assistant GM — probably with the intent to promote him after they fired Hurney — which was a lateral move.

"I wouldn't have given Burrow an extension. You could trade him and net 2-3 first round picks, then use that money on linebackers, running backs and a solid veteran backup QB"

I generally agree with the argument you’re making and hope we resign Burns but you can’t really compare a good DE/Edge to an Elite franchise QB, there not even remotely close in impact.

pass rushers of Burns ability don't hit the open market, if you want one, you have to "overpay" to get/keep them.

I can name several that hit the open market in the last couple years.  And there contracts are out there.   And the league isn’t and hasn’t been paying those types Bosa money.   The pass rushing specialist tier is a different pay tier.   And heck, there are some more well rounded ones than Burns that have signed very recent deals.

I like how you cherry pick his sacks. Like he hasn't improved them every year. Way to minimize his growth.

 

It is almost criminal how little respect Burns gets around here.

It’s not cherry picking.  It is what it is.  He had one year of double digit sacks. 

Burns isn’t coming off some crazy Von Miller caliber rookie contract play.   Burns isn’t even matching journeymen pass rushers like Reddick. 

and people are talking about cartoon money being cool.  

Front office made a mess of this.  Because we have a weak front office.  It’s largely the same one that has been making a mess of it all the past several years.  Switching out Rhule for Frank doesn’t change the fact more issues exist in BOA that weren’t named Rhule. 

Nothing we can do about Tepper.  Fitt should have gone with Rhule.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
