21 - 3 vs Tampa earlier in the year. 

Burns had 1 sack and 2 tfl in the game. 

I mean, I was just responding to the declaration that if Burns wasn’t on the field the D couldn’t tie their own shoes.  

in the one game he didn’t suit up for last year, they won with D.   So they can add 1+1 and do some basics.  

and we got Evero.  He created pressure last year when they traded Chubb.   

Obviously you want Burns.  I’m just saying there are limits.  It’s a replaceable league.   Hence why all the contracts of pass rush specialist of late….have been deals with new teams.

He got credited with a sack and 2 TFLs in the 21-3 game he is mentioning.

   That’s on me. I thought y’all had a 21-3 lead in the later one. Total f-up there. Good call. 

 

Not edited because my idiocy should be display. My bad man

No big deal. To your point he did disappear in that last Tampa game where the division was on the line.

Maybe if we kept Reddick he wouldn't be asking for that kind of money...

 

Then again Reddick said he wanted to move on anyway.

plenty of pass rushers have been on the move of late…..for practically half the guarantee money of Bosa. 

maybe folks would want to see Burns maybe play one real game in our new scheme before  locking up 120+ guaranteed.

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. 

I think it comes down to having the biggest freak of all at his same position, Mr. Peppers. People are spoiled on that mans pure generational talent. Hard to compare anyone to live up to that. I find myself even thinking every time someone mentions a good defensive end we have or a good linebacker, the first thing I start thinking is "they are no Luke or no Julius". Those are some nearly impossible shoes to fill there.

All stats aside, game on the line, Panthers needs a defensive play to be made, do you think you’ll be hollering Burns’ name in a few seconds? I hope so but don’t think so… there’ve been players where you knew they’d step up.. 91, 51, 90, 52, 58, 59 were reliable, 0 is questionable…..

watch Bosa play, there’s little to no doubt he’s prob’ly gon’ make a play, it’s more probable than it isn’t… Burns hasn’t showed that, he doesn’t have that… love for the game…

Luke once talked about, and I’ve used this speech coaching girls’ softball, it’s the players that love the game that really excel. There’s lots of players that have the physical traits, and/or like the game, have the head for the game and are really good at the game, but it’s the ones that love the game that truly excel at their game… 

Seems to me burns is happy being in the spotlight, being the superstar instead of being the quiet beast.. Panthers fans have been spoiled with quiet beasts over the years….

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
