let's quit living in the past. Let's stick to what is relevant for this year. We all know you are the most negative poster here. Not surprised you'd think like this.

Let's quit living in the past and pay a player based on what we hope he turns out to be instead of what he's actually done on the field. Marty is that you?

And that is your opinion. Just because you can think it, does not make it so.

The contracts are the contracts.  What do elite pass rushing specialist get?  That’s not opinion. 

now, it is my opinion Burns is an elite pass rusher.   He isn’t Julius Peppers 2.0.  Burns has done little outside of rush the passer in the NFL at a high level.

8th in sacks, 3rd in pressures, top 10 in run stuffs. Top ten in tackles among edge players. Moving to a position that fits his build and play style even more... 

 

Now this is true information. Too bad folks won't believe it, or will just ignore it. Facts don't work on the folks thinking the worst.

lol God I love this place. The Rams don't offer 2 1st and more for a "Slightly above average pass rusher". 

Look at his numbers.  He's not putting up 15 sacks a year. He wants watt money and has never dominated like that.  He is very good but isn't a top 10 guy imo. Average would be a guy in the 25-35 range.  He's is in the 20-10 range but he isn't a top 10 pass rusher

The eye test tells me 2 first and a second is worth more then him at 20 million dollars a year.  Doesn't mean he isn't good I just don't think he's great

I read it.  Brian Burns is an elite pass rusher.  That’s what I said.  And then someone posted his pass rushing stats. 

if you want to argue Burns is Peppers 2.0 or comparable to Bosa tier player, you would need to supply some facts for that argument.   Which wouldn’t be his sacks or pressures. Because that’s acknowledged in the initial statement.

Biggest game of his career.  55 pff rating.   How about them facts?

PFF didn’t grade him out as a top 25 edge player in 2022.   Because more than pass rushing was factored.

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2022-edge-defender-rankings

But Burns is an elite pass rusher.  But those wanting him to get the same deal Bosa gets are way off.  And it’s not Burns hate to acknowledge he isn’t a Bosa

    • While I really hope things pan out for the young man, sometimes you've got to make a calculated guess on your returns. I wanted so bad to see us use our first round pick on a LB, C or TE this season, but I think this one injury changes everything. I might suggest taking the best and the second best OTs available in the draft with our first and second round picks. The injury to Icky really makes the first one a good choice and an affordable one. And Moton, who is long in the tooth, needs someone in the wings behind him.  This also means that BC is going to need to get a contract for this upcoming season both as a starter at LT and to train the younger player behind him. Also it means that we need to extend a solid contract to Cade Mays and lock him down as our Center for the next four years. Maybe Icky can recover fully and be a starting LT again, but the odds aren't in his favor. Maybe he could be back in line to play as a guard right as our current starters' contracts wind down. It's not pretty having to spend all your picks and money on the line, but it seems to be the wise investment in light of everything.
    • Unfortunate situation.  if one of the top LTs fall in the draft I think it’s a no brainer draft pick. Then if icky returns he can move to guard and replace one of our highly paid guards that are here now.   
    • I dont really expect anyone to have any character or values when the system doesn't. I would respect those who did though. College Football is losing what little interest I had in it. I wasn't against giving the athletes some control but whatever this system is will kill it over time.
