Burns isn't even our best player.   Luvu is. 

That's not Burns hate.  He just isn't.  Burns is an elite pass rusher.  One of the best in the NFL at that.  But Bosa is more than that.  Which again, simply acknowledging that isn't talking down Burns. 

Luvu is not the best player.

He had a coming out party last year as full-time starter but Burns had been that man and still is.

Burns plays at a much premium position, premier Qb's, and premier pass rushers are always the first to go off draft boards.

Without Burns we don't have a pass rush of any significance and that makes life harder for Luvu, the secondary and everyone else. 

It's also funny how you want to use Bosa's previous stats to justify him being the better player, but want to discount this season's current stats.

Best overall defensive player

start of 2023 - Luvu

2022- Luvu

2021 - Reddick 

2 free agent pickups. 

I mean, you are literally just argued that a sack on a 2pt conversation doesn't matter if you can't point to it on a stat sheet.   Stats aren't the end all be all.   But Bosa and Burns' stats aren't close over the past several years. 

Burns is a great pass rusher.  Love to have him finish the bulks of his career here.  But no, I don't want to drastically overpay Burns.   

People keep trying to turn it into a fraudulent convo.  If you like Burns you should want to overpay him, if you don't want to overpay Burns you are hater.   That's silly.  Carolina has a long history of overpaying.  It becomes really problematic when you are talking about overpaying in the realm some are with Burns.  If it comes down to Bosa-ish money?  Yeah, I'd rather trade Burns.  And that has little to do with Burns.

How do you define overpaying Burns?

The market is the market, you don't think there are some teams out there that would pay Burns? Probably have alot better record than the Panthers too for the same reasons. 

Overpaying someone is when you sign them for alot more money than any other team would ie: Marty Hurney extending Jake Delhomme after that playoff debacle.

How do I define overpaying Burns? By talking about Bosa in the same conversation.

trade him then. he didn't show up monday night, never does when it matters. good dude, let him go win a ring somewhere. tepper doesn't deserve poo but a kick in the ass.

He did force that INT. I can't believe all the anti-Burns talk after 2 games. BTW, I wouldn't trade Burns for anything less than Patrick Sertain.

At the start of 2023 season they are in the same conversation we will see how the rest of the season goes. 

They've never been in the same conversation. Ask 32 GMs and I guarantee you for the same money it would be Bosa all day long in under a second. They're not in the same category and never have been.

Where has it been reported that Burns is asking for 34 million a year since you guys keep bringing up Bosa?

That's cool, but Burns is not the problem with this team right now.

 

Hell the defense has looked decent imo.

 

It's the HC and the offense who needs to be discussed. We look like flat out poop. The only hire that has looked somewhat decent has been Evero.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
