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.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
