so you think Burns by himself is more valuable than Keeping Brown, Luvu, a 1st and Jameson Williams in this hypothetical trade? I was all for keeping Burns and paying him 28million but at this point I'm not expecting it and feel like he's going to get the tag and trade treatment this offseason. Fan base going downhill is comical? Have you seen the post in this place? I'm an optimist compared to 90% of this place.

Im not talking about any trades. Im talking about the mindset of the fanbase. Every time a player is ready to get paid we seem to want to trade them for picks or a player on a rookie contract.

Im just wondering why are fans against paying our homegrown players?

I don't think that's true on the whole. There are alwaysfans that think X player is overrated/not worth the money/etc, and they are frequently outspoken. It gets a lot of attention around here because big players are just that - big.

I think it's also a symptom of the state of the team sucking for so long. It's like a perpetual rebuild/state of purgatory, and one way to dig out is to maximize and spread the value of the players a team has. Carolina's FO has also happened to suck at it for the past decade.

People rioted when we paid Shaq. We also historically pay our all stars: Cam, Luke, Moton, CMC, DJ. 

I'd be all for paying Burns if we were close, but an above average DE does not move the needle at all for this team, a Lions first could possibly get you the best guard or the 3rd WR in the next draft which does a lot more for this particular team.

I'm all for paying Burns, Should of done it last year. Pay him, Pay Brown, Pay Luvu. But they do dumb things like pay Donte Jackson, pay Miles Sanders, pay Shuttle who has been a dud.

I keep thinking of this place shitting on Fitt for the CJ Henderson and a 5th for Arnold and a 3rd trade. 
 

That was a year removed from CJ being a top 10 pick. 

 

Now a lot of people are okay trading for Williams based on his draft status, while showing far less than CJ had in the NFL.

 

I would love to take a flyer on Williams, but the inconsistency is pretty funny.

I want my teams GM trying those low risk high reward type trades. I loved that move. 

Same would go if fitts able to buy low on what many called the best WR form the 2022 class.

I don't think Burns wants to be hear anymore.  We might as well trade him off for a decent return.  

Didnt he start a new charity this past year?

I think him and the army around him want every nickle close to 30per million. No hometown discount.

I still say tag and go form there.

      89 on The Pivot

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      89 on The Pivot

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
