Burns vs Bosa

[NAS]

Honestly I was surprised there isn’t a bigger gap.  If Burns played for 49ers, Cowboys or Steelers he would be considered “elite”.  His sack numbers could have been bigger if he finished them (how many times did we see him just fail to wrap up).  I think his best days are ahead of him and we need to pay him.

Do the per game math and the gap is pretty wide.

This is like in Pawn Stars.  Guy goes in looking for 28m, they call their expert in and they say it's worth 35m. Now the guy wants 35m.  We will be lucky to get him at 28 now

Per snap would be even more revealing.

.22 sacks per game or 3.7 sacks a season. Just putting the numbers out for people, so they don't have to do math.

You shouldn't pay Bentley prices for a Mercedes because your neighbor paid top dollar for a Bentley. We have a nice Mercedes but I don't want it for Bentley money.

Burns has played 3019 snaps vs Bosa at 2432 snaps. That equates to a sack every .012 for Burns vs  .017 snaps for Bosa

5 less sacks in 13 more games is a pretty huge gap

It would be hilarious (and enjoyable) if Burns had a 17 sack year and we get another reason to hate Rhule. 
 

I love Burns, even if he’s “2nd tier.”

 

For having inconsistent team performance over the years, it is wild how we got used to having “Bosa” type guys pretty consistently. The Greene/Lathon years, Peppers, Jenkins (for a couple years), Smitty, Beason, Kalil, Kuechly, CMC…

We have had guys for most of the history of the franchise who you could consider top 3, if not the best, in the league at their craft. 
 

Is that why some aren’t satisfied with Burns? I don’t know. Maybe not the whole reason, but maybe that’s part of it.

Not even addressing the run game. TFL’s aren’t even comparable when it’s per game. .67 vs. 1.10
