Top pass rusher on the team. Period. 

2 most important players are the quarterback, and players that get to the quarterback.  

There is literally no way we could replace him this year.  May not be able to replace him next year either. 

Doesn't matter what talent we add to the team if we can't get to the quarterback.   Without him we don't have 1 true starting quality pass rusher. 

I pray a resolution is found that includes him remaining with the team.  I also pray we get him some real help.

It is irrelevant that he is our best pass rusher on our team, his pay and importance to us is about how good he is compared to others around the league. I mean would you pay top money to Tremble just because he is our top TE? Or top money to Chuba because he is our best RB? That kind of reasoning makes no sense.

I do like Burns, but not enough to get even close to what he wants.

This logic shouldn't need to be explained.

Burns is never double teamed or schemed around.  He just isn't what his fans pretend he is. But this team is so desperate to have a "name" to pretend that is elite that they will overpay an underachieving player to say they are the franchise edge rusher.  He's just a jag and will never be more than he is right now.

Ive just seen him totally getting taken out of the play 1v1 against a tight end or a chip block too many times.

All y'all that wanna trade him to "get what we can" will be the same ones complaining about no pass rush.

Burns, Brown, need to be built around ESPECIALLY while we have a rookie QB contract. 

Having more picks is just lottery tickets when you know you have a capable player. I would not pay elite money, but he deserves an extension.

julian weighs in on burns today.  All in all the situation is pretty bleak and totally mismanaged.  Holy fug fat fitterer was horrible at his job

 

cliff notes: best case is to figure out a deal, the tag is going to be expensive in regards to our cap and letting him walk would suck but would be easier to sign free agents and rework other deals

 

 

I’ve been an NFL fan longer than the Panthers have been around and I’d say Fitterer is easily the worst GM ever. The negative impact he’s had is astounding. Even a guy like Matt Mullen at least drafted a HOFer. I wouldn’t be surprised if not a single player in 3 years of drafting even makes a pro-bowl for us.

If he was adamant about not taking a game changing trade for Burns then he should have had a freaking extension signed that day. It’s been 1.5 seasons since he turned down the trade and Burns’ value has plummeted. We could have kept DJ and CMC and used the Burns picks to move up. SMH, instead we’ll probably get a late 3rd round comp pick.

as much as it might pain us to not get anything for burns...i really just want to separate ourselves from as many mistakes as possible. whatever should have or needed to be done with burns, should have and needed to be done at least a year ago. 

we don't need him hanging over our heads like this. we have too much residual from fitt that needs excised from the organization as it is. 

he isn't going to make us competitive. all he's going to do is clog up cap space.

i think this right here is major fug up #2 with burns. we missed out on 2 incredible opportunities to trade him that could have really helped us this year under the delusion that he was invaluable to this team.

we're not going to get an extension done because he wants too much money and he probably thinks he can get it somewhere else...and he wouldn't be wrong. but we'd be wrong in giving him that kind of money because he's just not worth it. if he has he hasn't shown it. he's not the kind of player the team is supposedly looking for now. he's soft. talented, but soft. he'll show up every once in a while, but all it will do is piss you off and make you ask why we don't see that more often. the answer is he just doesn't care and i don't want to bother with him. 

whether we have a pass rush or not next year doesn't depend on burns. he hasn't been the factor he's hyped up to be. he's just a wannabe spiderman.

He wants "elite" money. In my opinion, he's not worth it. It is a bad value. I don't believe in bad values. I also don't believe that at least some of his production can't be replaced. We didn't get much of a pass rush last year, so if we get just about anything it's a literal improvement. No more bad contracts! If he wants to lower his expectations around 8-12 mil per year from the 30-32 mark, then we can talk. He should've taken the 27 when it was rumored to be on the table. He isn't even worth that. 20-23 and we can talk.

I understand he shouldn't be paid elite currently.  

As much as people are going to judge Dan on this saying we can't afford to to keep him, Dan should be fired for allowing us no starting pass rushers in a passing league.  The stupidity of that is beyond approach.

The ship hasn’t sailed on at least getting something decent for Burns. Just have to be patient.

If he refuses a long term deal near the tag value (not near 30 mil), with real incentives added in, you just have to tag him and start working towards the trade deadline.

Someone with something to play for will pay something to put him in their ready to go defense. You only need two competitive teams where that kind of help could decide which one advances, and a trade deadline. Dan Morgan will be looking good about then.

      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.
