Didn't say that was for all 4 years. That was last season stats. 

He was behind Parsons, Garrett and Bosa in QB pressures and hurries last season. Just those 3 and 8th in sacks. 

In 2021 he had 48 hurries and 37 pressures with 9 sacks.

Isn’t that cherry picking?  Need to be looking at career stats if we are going to talk about paying him TJ Watt and Joey Bosa money.

1 year of production (7+ sacks) over 3 years as a pro vs 4 years in 4 years , Highsmith is an older player, has way less pressures and qb hits since being drafted compared to Burns in the same time period. 

Why is 7+ the benchmark for productive seasons. Wouldn’t be because Burns had a 7.5 sack season and Highsmith had a 6.5 one? Very convenient. And Highsmith is less than 9 months older. He also played less because Bud Dupree was ahead of him as a rookie. Highsmith led the nfl in forced fumbles this year. Add in better run defense by far and there is no way Burns is worth 10M/yr more than him. Or any more at all.

Those are all pass rushing stats though.  Guys better than Burns statistically like Reddick aren’t in the Bosa tier of pay.

Haha I just told him he’s cherry picking also.  Career stats show Burns simply isn’t in the same world as top tier guys.  He’s a 15M/year guy right now.  He’s gotta get better against the run, and consistently show that he can finish plays.

Nope picked a random number, coulda made it 6 and it woulda been 4 in 4 vs 2 in 3. Doesn't matter. Lol

Burns also effects the qb way more with pressures and hurries.

 Those are much better than forcing turnovers and not getting bull-dozed on run plays

At this point let the guy hold out.  Fine him 50K per day per the CBA, he will owe use a couple million in fines, not earn any of his 2023 salary, lose an accrued season, and be back where he started next year, still owing us a season under his rookie deal.  Ask LeVeon Bell how such a move works out?

No it isn't cherry picking, I simply posted his stats from the most recent season. Which is a better indicator of his future production compared to a 7.5 sack rookie season where he played 43% of snaps. Last season he played 87% of snaps.

Question- if Burns sits does he still get paid his current contract or does he forfeit all pay? 

50K per day fine and likely forfeits most of his pay per the CBA.  Differs slightly per contract, but there’s likely language in there, especially being a rookie deal.  After so many games (I think 8), the season no longer accrues and it’s as if the contract year never happened.  So he’d be back where he started, with nothing earned  and millions lost in fines.

Yet when comparing him to Highsmith, you only wanted to talk entire careers and not just most recent season. So which is it?

Oh to add for someone who said that Burns hasn't said anything publicly... he did back in June. 

 

He has publicly stated that he expects to be one of the highest paid edge rushers in the NFL. So yea, Myles Garret, Nick Bosa money is what he wants.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
