Brian Burns statline: 2 tackles, 0 sacks

[ickmule]

Dude is a bum just looking for a big payday. I’ve never cared for his play. Streaky at best. 

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Not worth top tier money. If he wants mid money, stay.

Mmmmmmm....wurst with some red kraut.

Greg Hardy and prime CJ were the last complete DE’s we’ve had.

bro they were getting rid of the ball like rapid pace. Tua doesn't take many sacks.  This bag on burns any game he doesnt get a sack is getting old.

I would say he is sandbagging to get out of Carolina at this point, but that would hurt his contract negotiations for his next team

...well...nobody wants to put out for a loser...

Trade CMC- ballin in SF and injury free until today 

Trade DJ- ballin with Bears

Trade Chinn- will go to a team that knows how to use him- instant baller

Trade Burns- will become even better with the right coaching and situation

Show me some Burns highlights, where he took over a game and made the difference for a win.  I can't think of any.

Right now, he's in a contract year, and he still isn't making enough of a difference in games to make me believe he's that guy, or ever will be.

LOL

Panthers are 22-50 in Burns career.  Wouldn’t have to review many wins.

Burns’ dismal performance thus far is intentional. He has severe limitations, but this is largely due to his own lack of effort. I knew it at the time, but we should have taken those picks. We screwed ourselves. That’s on the GM. 

[PantherPhann89]

I think they gave Burns the bighead when they made him untradeable. He saw a huge payday in his future, it hasn't come yet, so I think he's playing to get released or traded. I think he thinks the rest of the league see him how he see's himself. Don't get me wrong, Burns is good, but he's not a game wrecker and not consistent. For all the speed he has, I've seen multiple QB's run away with him in chase. Burns will only resemble what people expect with another DE that better than him, like Reddick. 

[4Corners]

Why is this surprising? He is half assing it so he doesn’t get hurt. Taking plays off. I was against trading him last season but they got to trade him now. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Not trading Burns for that haul is almost as big of a blunder as trading up for Bryce.

In other news, Hassan Reddick just got his 2nd sack of the 2nd half.
