The Burns bashing is way beyond the levels of crazy. Did he have a down year by his standards yes, but so did the entire team. 

 

ask Derek Brown if he had a down year 

or Luvu 

Brian Burns is a one dimensional pass rusher and on top of that his pass rushing game is one dimensional.  That’s the real problem.   

he isn’t our best defender.   That’s a title I’d maybe give him one season.

Burns is at best a situational pass rusher and should be used as such. What we can not afford to do is pay this mother hubbard 30m a season. 

He is not a cornerstone piece of an elite D. 

 

Hes not going to demand 30 million his value at this point is 20-25 million and we can absoutely afford to pay him that.Screenshot_20240129_213514_Chrome.thumb.jpg.4cc157f44f3e336292497d55f9208c25.jpg

This fine.. he generates pressure at an abnormal rate. disruption is production. and for 20-25 mill a year thats what i want him to do.

How many of those other guys played as much as Burns did? How many of them were put into pass rush situations vs playing the run or being told to hold the edge? Just looking at one stat doesn't tell the whole story.

Also, there's not a player on the roster that shouldn't be traded if the price is right and that includes Brown, Thelen, and Burns. The Panthers need a huge infusion of talent and most likely a couple years away from winning at the earliest. If getting that talent infusion means trading away the more win now guys, so be it.

If that is true that also hold true in other areas. If Burns only had 8-9 sack how many times did he blow by tackles and force qbs off their spot and comfort zone.. disruption is production.

Eh, at the time I was in the camp that they made the right decision not trading him. In retrospect, I was wrong. I thought we’d take Stroud and at least be competitive and be ready for playoff aspirations in year two.  In reality, those draft pics would have been waaaay more valuable than those 40 qb pressures. Take Burns away and those pressures don’t dissipate, someone else would get some if not most of them. A lot can be done with scheme. Even now, if we can get a first, take it and run. Even the Chiefs’.  We can spread that $20-30mil around and use it to improve the team in more areas.

Gross-Matos generated 47% of the pressure in 57% of the snaps.

Barno generated 20% of the pressure in 23% of the snaps.

Houston 25% in 22%, Haynes 25% in 17% of the snaps.

It's just a matter of snap count.

Thanks for providing clarity. When I saw the OP's stats, the first thing that I thought is, "These have no context." I figured that snap count correlated with productivity. You provided the evidence.

I don’t seen Burns disrupting much.  I see him doing the same thing pretty much all the time.  Doing nothing in the run game and speed rushing the edge outside.  Rinse and repeat. 

and he isn’t as good as the Hassan Reddicks of the world.  So I got no use paying him like he is some tier past Reddick.

We can afford to pay Burns because we aren’t going to be paying a QB big money for a while.

besides, his salary will be no worse than what we did for Shaq or Ian Thomas — relatively speaking 

Yes, lets continue our history of paying mid players top end contracts.

You do not overpay Burns. You trade and get players that'll provide more value for the money with draft picks as well. Burns is not elite and we don't need to overpay when we have major needs elsewhere.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
