As a Burns defender against some really bad takes on here…

 

I agree.

 

I think back to Kris Jenkins. As great as Peppers was, peak Jenkins took the d-line to another level. Peak Jenkins was one of the best linemen I’ve ever seen, even if it was short lived. 
 

Sacks are great, but a man who can destroy the interior of the pocket? And still chase dudes down at 6’5”320?

 

Give me that all day.

Yeah and KK’s short peak and then decline was a big reason our D fell off the last few years with Rivera while we still had Luke

I say keep both, that's the whole reason you draft a rookie QB, so you can afford to pay others. I am curious what Brian Burns is asking for though, hard to tell if he's asking for way to much 30m++ or is it the Panthers being cheap.

Yeah but we still need to pay a WR, some DL help, and somebody reliable at CB since ours can’t make it through half a season each.

If only we could draft receivers.  It’s early obviously for Mingo, but it is painful seeing other rookies flourishing for other teams. 
 

We are due for a diamond in the rough. It’s been a tough couple decades aside from DJ, but he was a 1st rounder.

    • I could use less of Steve Smith's opinion in my life.  
    • It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway. 
    • I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
