Spend that $30 million and go get guys who have real playoff experience who can help this locker room

It's not as simple as going out and paying guys. They need to only pay guys that line up with the team's timeline. An aging, win now vet is not the sort of guy the team needs right now.

I’d still try to trade Burns. I love the guy and he’s way underrated here, but we need the picks and cap space on other positions right now.  Definitely throw the bag at Brown though. I saw an article earlier today where some jabroni was saying we should trade Brown lol. Adam Silver or someone like that.

Listen….I’ve been quiet on Burns and definitely do not feel like he should be top 5 paid DE’s, but he's very talented and had a down year last year. It’s a massive hole from talent and leadership perspective if he’s gone. We are a better team with him being on the roster….and if we can’t Lock up our young core during Young’s rookie contract we are missing out. Brown and Lucy should be priority 1A and 1B, but no way should we allow Burns to walk. He must be tagged, especially with the cap exploding 

He didn't have a 'down year'. He had exactly the same year as he's had 4 of his 5 seasons; 2022 was the outlier. That's the type of player he is.

They should pay Burns so everyone else on the team knows that they will take care of their own.   You wanna build cuuture?  This is where it starts.  

Paying someone who admitted to quitting on the season is not the way. Paying Luvu and Brown who played hard the whole time is.

Burns didn’t have a down year. He purposely played bad. So not only can he not take over a game, he isn’t going to elevate the team and lead teammates if he feel it doesn’t matter or is worth it for him as an individual player. A business decision he says, so what happens when he’s bad? When the team isn’t going to win? It’s a really poor mindset. It’s not really something you pay to be the face of the defense. No thanks.

If they do end up paying him, it will be a regret mark my words.

isnt worth 20 million a yearthis is a crazy take.

So you are willing to pay ~10% of the cap for an outside speed rush move that more often than not whiffs on the QB. 

Nobody gives two shits if he is "winning" his pass rush just to miss on the sack after the QB steps up to easily avoid him. Oh yeah he also sucks fuging ass against the run, he isnt a leader as he is playing not to get hurt. 

Too many red flags to pay him like an elite cornerstone. 

We dont just pay him now because we missed out on draft compensation for him. At this point we have to franchise him or let him walk. You dont reward a guy for that bullshit he put on the field last season.

But you're paying a guy that is a constant underperformer who played not to get hurt. That's the message we meant to be sending? That no matter what you actually do day to day in the field, we're going to take care of you? That's the culture we want to build?

I've gone back and forth on Burns for the last few months. At the end of the day no matter which side I fall into one aspect that does not change is all this feels eerily familiar to the discussions we had about both Christian McCaffrey and DJ Moore. Remember that at one point even Derrick Brown was talked about the way Brian Burns is now. I put the odds at 85% that if he is traded to a good franchise he experiences a career resurgence and we see a lot of tunes change here about him and folks act like they didn't want to trade him.

I think Burns it not likely to be in that class. He's a very good player but he will never be great or elite, IMO. He doesn't seem to be geared that way. 

I don't think ANYONE wanted Moore gone. I mean, if they did, they needed their head checked. CMC was very understandable. You can't keep paying RB's the way we have(although we immediately did it again with Sanders).

I hope to one day live through an era where the Panthers front office understands the modern NFL.

If the panthers signed a FA one trick pony edge rusher who admitted to dogging all of last season quitting on his team, can’t play the run for s*** and whose potential has yet to materialize in 4 years for 25 million a year… the huddle would completely melt down and other teams would clown us.

      Do You Agree With The Neglect of the Offensive Line from This Draft???

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Excellent post. Before yesterday I hadn't posted in about 2 years. I just popped in every once in a while to get updates. A couple of guys around here are excellent at that and one is funny as heck. Then there's MHS831, when I do pop in I always check out your threads. I really appreciate your takes and how you explain them and also the effort you put into it. Plus, your a class act. Grade: A I also came here to mention the UDFA C I understand we signed. I've read that he was ranked in the 6th round for what that's worth. He had a solid career and has traits that are special. He needs to be developed but he has potential and his strength is run blocking and his athleticism fits what we want to do offensively I think.  I think he was a late draft target that they believed was safe so they drafted other players and picked him up after the draft instead. If so, that's smart and very disciplined.    Here's a report on his strengths: SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS Raym is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage. Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet. Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and Raym displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks He’s a coordinated athlete who can win at the point of attack in the run game, and he can also move to consistently land blocks at the second level. Has the strong leg drive to create movement at the line of scrimmage, consistently putting defenders on the ground. Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire. He's a dawg. Badass. I think his skills fit what we want to do too. This kid has the potential to be a stud for us. It's true we didn't draft him but we still got him. So, if it's really a big deal, just imagine that we had an extra 6th and drafted this guy there. He was valued there so it's a good pick. In my mind, we got a good center this draft, even if we didn't draft him. We signed him just the same.

      Grades are in; how did Panthers do in this years draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      That blows my mind too.  You know your system and the skill sets you covet--you have hours of game tape, you interview, you measure, you test, you weigh, you time--and 25% is the bar?  Now, I know some teams only have 2-3 openings some years, but dang.

      25% of day 2/3 picks would be phenomenal.   NFL Draft Pick Bust Rate Remains Very High - Daily Norseman Assuming the 30% includes first round picks, and that a draft success means the play spends significant amounts of time playing for the team that drafted him, a 25% success rate for day 2/3 picks would be well above average.
