The season is over. We need picks. Our D is no worse than it's been in recent memory. We can afford to trade Burns. Do it.

The move last year would have been trade burns and keep McCaffrey.  I would love dj Moore and cmc in a trade for burns. We picked burns over our two best offensive players one of which scored 4 fuging times today.

not even gonna lie, CMC was great for us early and then got that fat contract.  We then proceeded to hire Rhule and Co. and when CMC was like "this is a clown show" every time he had an injury it kept him out the entire season.  He quit on the Panthers and got what he wanted....I'll never NOT think that.

Just because you say it doesn’t make it true lol

if we want a legit #1 WR to come to this dump of a coaching staff we’re gonna have to consider ponying up $25M. Couple that with a Brown extension which I really hope we do, you wouldn’t suddenly be able to throw $30M at Burns.

I’m not even saying he isn’t worth it in a vacuum, but when you add the context of having to build around your massive investment into QB it is a legit discussion. Plus it’s not only the cap savings, but the draft capital you’d get (which hopefully Fitt is gone for by then) 

well lets dive into it. currently we aren't paying anyone really. moton is taking up the most cap. half of what hes costing would go back into burns and with cap increase why cant you afford him if hes one of your few spending points?

Cap space isnt really a issue tight now. you can still spend on players and build around. we dont have any significant players under contract we cant save and move stuff around on.

Nowhere near? Might want to check their first 4 year stats… might surprise you how similar they are. Peppers also had the luxury of playing alongside Jenkins and Mike Rucker… but again.. the reasons fans want to get rid of Burns is EXACTLY the same reason fans wanted Peppers gone.

He was dpoy in his 3rd season.  Wtf are you even talking about here

I would be floored if Burns is not traded by the deadline. The way this season is going for both him and the team, it would make sense. Burns has proved the team's point that he is not the difference maker he claims to be. Burns getting the contract now would make little to no sense. If the current trend continues, I don't believe the same GM will be in place. The question is will the move be made during the bye week, when the team is officially eliminated from the postseason, or the end of the season?

If before the deadline, I imagine the interim guy deals him to gain offseason resources. I haven't heard anything regarding Carolina trading for a WR and would be surprised if the GM is allowed to do so given the current state of the team. I imagine if he has been given the green light on searching for such an offer, his bargaining chest has been capped to something to the equivalent of a Day 3 pick.

I'm seeing a conditional 7th for Chase Claypool in the cards just to look like we're making some sort of effort

In my opinion, I'm not really mad that we didn't trade Burns in hindsight. But it does really suck, we most likely would have a 2023 1st and a 2024 1st, and a 2023/24 2nd to build off. I think the Bears trade makes this missed opportunity sting even more.

Hindsight 20/20, but man, imagine if you keep CMC, trade Burns to the Rams for that huge amount of draft capital, then use that capital to move up in this past year's draft rather than including Moore. Bryce may not be the guy, but I'd like to see how he'd look with some proven playmakers around him.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
