You mean like When he had Reddick on the other side and got 9 sacks? Impressive. 

We struggled to stop the run that year, which in turn limited chances.  He also whiffed a lot in 20,21. It wasnt due to a lack of getting there. I guess I am still in the minority that hopes his  $$ number comes down, but hope we keep him. We need talent to win. I have no faith that Fitterer would turn those picks into talent if traded.

If you sign Burns after the crap he has pulled this season, the message to the other players ain’t good. 

could you imagine if you’re Luvu going out and busting butt every game, and he’ll be lucky to get half of what burns is set to get. We don’t need that on our team.

Wilks, Fox and Rivera would have had him riding the pine. it’s probably politics why Evero isn’t doing the same. Burns is obviously another one that had a good dinner with the Teppers.

Scott Fitterer and this current team shouldn't be allowed to sign and put our future cap into anyone.  Burns remains a very one dimensional player.  And not only is he a one dimensional pass rusher but he is one dimensional in his pass rushing.  Next coach should have input on the vision and where he would want our resources put.   We need a completely rebuilt roster for our next coach.  That takes cap.   And the emphasis needs to be on fixing the offense.  You can find roleplayer pass rushers.  Which is essentially all Burns is.

Burns is not the prototypically dominant pass rusher whose talent is hard to find, as he disappears way too much. 

I agree. I like him and would like to keep him if we were a competitive team. We are 2-12 and frankly have way too little talent. Given our rebuild, signing an edge rusher to $30M a year doesn’t make sense. The bounty we had in front of us was too good to pass up.

I went to the game on Sunday and I recall two plays where Burns made a big impact. One was on a pass rush where he caused an incompletion and the other was the fumble recovery but the real impact on the fumble was Hill who knocked the ball out. Brown stood out far more.

We're not interested in retaining talented, core players and leaders.  So says the masses.  It.must be true.  

We’re 2-12 dude. If we don’t actually get on with a real rebuild where you trade expensive players for picks to get younger and build up talent at more positions, having Burns on the team won’t make a bit of difference. How many games has Burns truly impacted? Would we be 2-12 without him? Probably. He’s had 1 sack, 4 tackles and 1 TFL in our 2 wins. He’s a good player but he’s not a game changer and we suck balls right now. Trading him now sucks too because he’s lost value over the past year and Washington traded away Sweat and Young for way less.

At the end of the day, it's all about value. If Burns wants to be paid more than he's worth, let someone else pay him. 

How would your pocketbook look--- your overall financial status look, if you shop at Sheetz or Walgreens every time you need groceries just because it's convenient and the only thing open?

The moment our moron GM turned down that haul from the Rams, his value went through the roof. His stats are meaningless at that point. That’s elite value and the Panthers turned it down. I think Burns is massively overrated and I hope the Panthers don’t pay him, but I don’t blame him for asking for it. He has all of the leverage because the entire organization is clueless and our GM is a moron. 
 

And I just want to say one more time, our GM is a moron.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
