Guess who ended up on today's injury report...right before the trade deadline.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Where’s all the Burns apologists now?!?

[PantherPhann89]

Burns is seriously overrated and comparing him to Bosa is crazy. Burns has never taken over a game. The best he's liked is when we had Reddick on the team. He can't beat double teams on a regular, consistently dissappears in games abs gets out run by QB's. Burns is a good player but he doesn't have Bosa value on this team because he gives up or quits during games. He needs a a Reddick to be successful.

Cause he DESERVED an extension! Bosa won't play until he got his extension and they made him the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. Fitter would NOT even offer him a reasonable but fair extension which is Burns deserves.

Brian Burns did not earn Bosa bucks. And he hasn't yet so far this year.

I sure wish he had, but that's just what it is.

I love how people call themselves Panthers fans, but talk down on specific players. It's crazy how this board continues to talk down on one of our better players.

 

 

Do better huddle.

Paying Burns close to Bosa money on top of all these other dumbass moves will absolutely destroy and cripple this franchise for years to come.

We are already on the brink of that if not there already. Burns is not only NOT worth that but even IF he all of a sudden takes over games, this team is too trash for it to matter. Just like CMC.

Should've traded him when we had the chance, but if they can recoup a first+ right now, that is the smartest move with a house cleaning looming.

Burns is not the problem. The problem is Tepper. He hired bad coaches and lets Fitt waste our draft picks on bad players.

 

We will continue to suck even after we trade Burns. We just traded 3 of our best players in just 2 years. 

 

 

This franchise is a joke!

I agree to a point---some may take it a little too far---but Burns deserves some criticism here because he's taken his contractual expectations too far. He was offered a fair contract commensurate with his worth to the team and his production relative to other EDGEs in the league. In my opinion, I think he's just being greedy, but that's his choice. His head got a little inflated due to the Rams offer.

Burns is good, maybe even "really good" at times, but he's never been great. If we pay him like he's great, then the only way that we'll be able to "fix" it is to draft (or luck up on) a player who actually is great so that we can exploit his rookie contract at the same time as being hamstrung by Burns' contract, because this hypothetical player would ironically be the very thing that helps Burns to raise his game to a point where he appears to be great. But, of course, finding that player would be difficult, and we might not ever do it. In the meantime, we'd just be stuck with an overpaid rusher who is almost what you want sometimes. I just don't want to be in that situation.

“This is entertaining” or “thanks for the  laugh” are classic responses when have no real argument for your stance

Now being reported that he’s probable to play, which means the injury was legitimate.

 

you wouldn’t give a guy a phantom injury if you’re trying to trade him.

He has been playing hurt for the past couple games. He typically has been playing through it.

Only reason Burns is one of our “best” players is because we suck. On a better team with a better line he would be just another cog in the in the wheel. Replaceable.

Also means he's not getting traded before Tuesday.

 

Now we have to keep hearing these Burns haters for the rest of the season. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse.

Stop it.

 

On a better team with better players he would be even better than he is now. 

 

Wake up dude we are the worst team in football. Any player on this roster would look better on another team. Tepper has turned this franchise into a laughing stock.

 

I kind of hope we trade Burns just so he can get to a better situation. Those picks we get will just be wasted anyway Fitt is clueless when it comes to the draft.

Bye week really got a lot of key guys injured

such a joke

You can see that a lot of our players are mentally checked out already. Lots of niggly injuries during the games, where they have to come out for quarters at a time. Now they're making it official.
