Fitterer is an Absolute Idiot for Not Trading Brian Burns in 2022

Most are down on Burns but I still think we end up getting good compensation out of it if he leaves. The issue is we cannot under any circumstances allow Scott Fitterer to use those picks.

Also while I fully admit I have been disappointed with Brian this season people who think Burn is total trash should prepare for the likelihood wherever he goes next he lights it up. That's been the trend for former Panthers and the amount of vitriol he received only makes it more likely.

The amount of people trashing Burns in the game thread yesterday was hilarious. I'm convinced Burns is the most hated player in Panthers history.

 

Never change Huddle.

Burns hasn't even reached peak Peppers hate yet.  Probably won't.

He's long given up. We can bash him for it but at the end of the day I don't blame him. We picked either the wrong QB altogether or the worst of the bunch in the draft. He knows it and the rest of the team knows it. There's nothing left to play for. No pride. No semblance of culture. We're dead in the water.

He's not even close to the most hated player. In fact, he's hardly hated at all, in the actual way hate is meant and not the stupid, trite, eyeroll-inducing way 'hated' gets used these days.

What he is, however, is collateral damage to a high-profile event that way a legitimate fork, even if small, for the path of the franchise. He also wants big money, and with big money comes big scrutiny. Always been that way, nothing new here, so no, Burns is not unique in this circumstance.

What an absolute fuging moron. I never liked him since his first draft where OL was our biggest issue and he virtually ignored it.

He said a couple of equals and one negative. So, who was the negative? CMC or Moore? Did he really think Sanders was equal to CMC?

Just goes to show that some of us huddlers would have been better GMs despite all the Fitterer fans out there.

There are two franchise-defining moments in the last few years.

The first was when they turned down the absurd Burns trade. The second was when they made the trade up to #1 overall (regardless of who they picked).

I hated both moves then and sadly I've been proven right. We couldn't have sabotaged ourselves more if we tried. 

Yeah. I was begging people to wake up and watch the guy doing football stuff (not talking about itK. It took me about three or four rewinds and rewatches of the deep balls at his pro day, to get there.

At that point I could see questions needed to be asked, with answers that were not what people wanted to hear.

What defensive scheme would help Burns?

This one lets him stand up as a pass rusher and just try to run around the OT. We know he can't hold up as a 4-3 DE, he gets obliterated against the run. 

Burns has always been a situational pass rusher that should have never been taken in the 1st round. Dexter Lawrence was my pick. Wanted Hunter Renfrow from Clemson too.

I could give you my 80 man draft lists over the years & they've performed better than our front office. Those draft lists include late round picks & UDFAs.

Burns & Brown should have been traded. Not CMC & DJ Moore.

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
