Yep, this is where my thinking is - is he playing unless otherwise stated, or not playing unless otherwise stated?  Since he's never declared he's holding out, I would assume the former.  

 

There has been nothing stated that he will not play Sun. except for some Huddle speculations. I would be surprised if he held out. But truly, no on knows but him and whoever is in his inner circle.

Panthers worked themselves into a bad spot no matter what at this point. 

Burns is a largely a one dimensional pass rusher who has logged double digit sacks once.   And forced into a corner to get out whack with in pecking order of pay.   

I think people under rate how important a "one dimensional pass rusher" can be and it's asinine to use that as the excuse to not pay him.

First, it's not like there are elite pass rushers with well rounded skill sets beyond pass rushing that become available with any regularity to make the argument that we shouldn't pay Burns while waiting for one of them to fall in our lap instead.

Second, an elite, even if one dimensional, pass rusher can unlock so much else for the rest of the defense.  Their pressure alone can help the DBs by forcing QB's to get the ball out quickly.  The need of double teams opens things up for the rest of the line and pass rushers to get to the QB.

If you're truly elite at rushing the passer (which I think Burns is right there and will be moving forward), then the rest of it doesn't matter.  Sure it would be great if you're also great against the run, but even if not, you're then worth the money for the trickle down affect to the rest of the defense.

This is yet again another instance of people thinking real life NFL is anything remotely close to Madden where you can manipulate the system to make any trade you want or make sure you can sign any FA you want.  It doesn't work that way, you can only get the players who are available at the time, and pass rushers of Burns ability don't hit the open market, if you want one, you have to "overpay" to get/keep them.

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.

If there was a Kansas City Huddle made of the same posters, half the threads today would be titled "How Many Picks Can We Get For Mahomes?"

"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"


Can you imagine the future picks we could have had for prime Luke.

This is a very good point. The FO has created quite the headache for themselves whichever direction this goes.

Doubtful you keep him without giving him what he wants, and doubtful you find what was offered to you last season. There is a chance you could hold on to him until the deadline (which I highly doubt will happen) and trade him off to a team who loses a pass rusher or feels they are a pass rusher away from the postseason.

I don't see this dragging out for an extended period. Tepper just gave a lot of money to assemble this staff and mortgaged a fortune to draft a QB 1st overall, he isn't going to have it distracted by a holdout player that could have been extended or traded by the GM over the past year or so.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
