While I agree, you still gonna have to pay Burns and the market dictates that he’s probably worth around 25 to 30 mil

And at this point you can’t let him walk

Why can't we let him walk? Preferably tag and trade, but we are not tied to him.

Because of sunken cost, if you let Burns walk after we buffing trades for him that’s the kind of actions that gets people fired

The whole principle of sunken cost is to not let the prior decisions impact a future decision. You got that backwards.

It’s not that you can’t it’s that it’s beyond idiotic. It shows a completely inept franchise to the highest degree to turn down two first and a second to just let him walk. Just like Peppers, but that situation was even worse since he flat out said he didn’t want to be here with time to trade him. 

Good franchises don’t do this, they’ll always trade before they take a loss. The Panthers will look even more stupid than they already do. In fact, I’m not sure there is coming back from that if we aren’t there already.

Brown should be extended. Burns needs to be traded for draft capital (not to mention cap space) we can use to re-build the offense.

Love Brown as an Auburn fan he is one of my favorite players.  I agree in building a defense around him, but I am also ok if we do a FULL rebuild and trade off our players for draft assets.  Trade off any player with a good value return and rebuild from scratch is an option as well.

Funny because when he was a rookie, Brown got the same vitriol Bryce gets now.

Very true, and I was one of the few that defended him (especially when we were running a 4-3 defense and he came out of a 3-4 defense at Auburn). Dude is a freaking stud now.

Bryce, on the other hand, is hard to defend when he has shown no promise over the entire season...

If you saw the Texans game, he showed as much there as Brown did in his best game as a rookie.

Just FYI brother, the base defense used by Kevin Steele at Auburn during Brown’s years was the 4-3.

Now Steele lined Brown up at various positions on that defensive front at different times according to the situation and play-call, but the vast majority of snaps were at 3-tech.

That's also what I recalled, a 4-3.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
