How do you not trade your players while not not killing leverage? Do you have to accept all trades? That's what I've been confused about. 

I think the biggest thing in this case was the size and value of the offer moreso than the fact that there was one. Turning down that many high picks sends a pretty clear message.

I've just about given up all hope that we'll re-sign him this season at this point.

If we can't get a deal done before week 2, short of offering him the same numbers Bosa got, I don't think Burns' camp will agree to a new deal anymore, especially if he gets another sack this weekend.

Hell, if he plays a few more games the same way as week 1, he'd be assured of his contract stature even if he got hurt and missed the rest of the season (knock on wood), the more he plays like this, the less injury risk is a concern for him I think.

If he plays like this all season he will get his money.  We've all been waiting on him to play like THIS. He is still a liability in the run defense, but he's got a cool sack celebration so he's got that going for him.

That's my concern and why we should have just given him what he wanted before the season started, as whatever the number was, it was lower than what it will be when he balls out this year.

I think people forget that even when he was drafted, he was a bit of a project.  He was still a bit undersized for a DE and got by in college on his raw physical talents, something everyone knew wouldn't work from the jump in the NFL due to him being a little light.

Combine that with the epically bad coaching staff he had, I don't think it was a surprise that he struggled at times so far in his career.  

But his pass rushing ability was always evident, now he has a competent coaching staff, has bulked up, he was always poised to have a monster breakout season, most fans saw this coming, not sure how the staff couldn't when they watched him every day all summer and raved about him.

You don't pay players by what you hope they will be. You pay them by what they have shown to be. It's that simple Marty.

Yes and no

It's not like we were going to pay someone who has just been average, he's been a borderline elite pass rusher for 3 years now who everyone could see was teetering on the edge of stepping into that elite category.

Sometimes you just have to take the risk with a guy like that and sign them to a bigger deal than you'd have liked, because you believe in him and that he'll be worth it.

The second we turned down 2 firsts for him, we signaled that we believed he was going to take that leap.  If the team even had the slightest question that he'd get there, they'd have taken that trade and laughed while doing so.

That's a key difference here than with the old Marty crap.  He paid players for what they did in the past, not what he thought they'd do in the future, very very different.

I get it. You love Brian Burns.  I'm not going to lose any sleep if they don't extend him. The defense is bad already and he hasn't made any impact in any games to date. Life will go on if they can't come to an agreement.

he hasn't made any impact?!?!?!

The Falcons coach literally said that he blew up their gameplay with how he played in the first half and they had to completely alter their second half strategy to deal with it.

Just because the rest of the defense and the offense isn't yet up to the task of carrying their own weight, doesn't mean he isn't impacting games.

We also had a pretty good defense the second half of the season last year, I don't think that happens without his pass rush.  Pass rush starts everything on a defense if you can get to the QB quickly, it makes every other player on the team better because they have to do their job for less amount of time.

1 game, inwhich he missed crucial tackles that resulted in a TD. That game?

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
