What I realized about a Burns Trade:

I'm new here today. Is there a story behind the "poo" thing? I feel like I haven't seen anyone use the word this way anywhere before. And then today I've read it here like 100 times.

Hello and welcome. Pie and poo are the two extremes reactions to posts. Pie is good. Poo is, Poo.  Pied one of your posts (it was a good well thought out statement imo) and pooed the one I am referencing for example purposes only as I mean no ill will. 

 

Congratulations, you picked an interesting time to join.

I think they mean the actual word “poo” because it autocorrects from the s word when people post it here.

Detroit would be 1 team I look at but we definitely  missed out on trading him 2 separate  times already. To the Rams and to move up for Bryce. We could've possibly kept our 1st next year by including him. 

If you were talking about the Bears that was not in the cards. Bears GM insisted that it would take DJ and a 1st.

Thanks to both of y'all! I'm surprised I hadn't found the site sooner.

For everyone that takes the rumored Rams trade as gospel (this is the NFL  -it's a rumor/unsubstantiated until it's done), it wasn't going to help us at that time.  Sure, now it looks great - but you also have to consider what you're losing in Burns.  They were offering the '24 and '25 1st round picks.

Burns is still one of the top 10 edge rushers in the NFL, and he's shown improvement in run support.  You can point to his lack of sacks versus the other premium guys, but his win rate is still top 10.  He's also playing on a bad team so there aren't enough opportunities to get after the QB.  He can also do more if he wants to get paid like a top 10 edge guy.  Let's accept that he's probably the most talented player on our team, but he's not showing it.

Given where the Rams are now 3-3 (spot 19 at tankathon), that puts us outside of the top 15, generally when the talent between the 16-45th picks have similar value player by player.  Certainly, having a 1st round pick gives you more ammo to move around and pick up more picks by trading down, but can you replace Burns?  His game is speed and bend.  Those guys do not linger very long.  Looking at some rando top 75 (pff if your curious) - are we getting someone who can replace Burns between 19-33?  Nope, I just don't see it.  Please let me know how wrong I am. 😃

But the Panthers didn't get two draft picks.  Chances are if a winner trades you a first round pick, they are counting on at worst it being a mid-low first round pick.  I just don't think there's the value in trading Burns without anyone here or in the draft who can replace him. 

You still need a pass rushers in the NFL.

    • The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at. 
    • If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep
    • I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
