We saw the defense without Burns last year 

we held our opponent to their lowest point total we held anyone to all year.  7 points. 

and if you win scoring 10 points, that’s your defense getting you the win.  So it can and did function minus Burns last year. 

Granted your clearly want Burns.  But 120 million guaranteed is 120 million guaranteed. 

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.

What CAR/TB game were you watching where Burns got a sack in the game? He was famously invisible. No sack. One TFL. 65 snaps.

And still by far Burns is our best pass rusher.

 

You let 1 game change your opinion on him?

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

No. I’ve thought he was a liability against the run his entire career.

Look at his frame not sure why you're expecting him to be a run stuffer. He makes his money sacking QB's.

 

Pass Rusher ever heard of it?

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

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

Because for the money he's asking, he should be more than just a pass rush specialist. He's Hassan Reddick at a much higher price.

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.
