We all know what he said about playing not to get hurt. If he gets tagged and doesn't get traded or get the $$$ he wants, will the next season be the  same half ass player he was last year.

Would you trust him to go all out or will he be dragging his ass along the turf again?

Saying what he did, just enforces my belief that he can't be relied upon to give 100%. 

What do you think?

You know Peppers would disappear sometimes but at least he established himself as a monster first. Burns is a taller Everette Brown. He has one move and his legs are tree limbs. He gets bullied in the run game. 

He should take the tag and prove himself. 

Pepp was never washed out on single blocks by TEs regularly tho Season 5 Idk GIF by Paramount+

He definitely was. But idk, who’s to say a quicker and lighter player like a TE may fair better against Peppers on occasion.

But Peppers also blocked FG’s , intercepted passes, scored TDs, forced fumbles, played TE sometimes. There’s no comparison. 
 

The best DE this team ever fielded since Peppers was Greg Hardy no contest. Shame he was a psycho.

Agreed he either needs to be paid or tagged and traded. The comment was a huge red flag on his effort. I don’t completely blame him but basically admitting you weren’t giving it your all doesn’t help anyone. Can’t deal with another year of that. 

I would be scared to death to commit anything substantial to a guy like that. 

He wont even put in the work to show he belongs in the same contract range as the Bosas and Garretts, he just wants us to take his word for it. 

What happens when he gets the $ he wants? Does he check out completely?

We are in a lose/lose situation. You either tag him and take the half assed effort or let him walk for nothing.

Nobody is trading anything worthwhile for him on the franchise tag the ship has sailed on getting assets in return.

Imagine Luke saying some poo like that. Would never happen. This team desperately needs toughness and leaders. Signing Burns goes directly against that sediment and will leave a bad impression to the other players. Thats not even going into whether his play is objectively worth what he wants.

Honestly, set him free if there's not a trade partner if he doesn't sign a team-friendly deal that is more appropriate to his performance levels. 

A guy that is playing not to get hurt is pretty much just here to cash checks and well, we've had enough of that over the years. His stats don't warrant this much attention or such a big chunk of the salary cap. I like the guy and was amazed at how he played here at first. Then when the negotiations started, well, he just went all Meh. He says he still loves us, but man, he hasn't bought us flowers in a loooong time, yanno?

If he doesn't want to be here, let him go, get the comp pick and write it off. No one year deals, no overblown contracts, just let him go. It's sad but true, there are edge players coming out of colleges every year and some of them can get both 8 sacks a season AND play defense against the run.

He's a good player, but he isn't a HoF player, so let's quit treating him like he is.

      Sam Darnold was the 2018 QB. Not Mayfield, Allen, or Jackson. Firing Rhule was the key. Wilks, Darnold, CMC, Rico, TMac, Moore, and Coker would have gotten the job done. Toss in all the extra picks wasted on day one and day 2 project players, and the Panthers have a top defense too.

      That’s if you draft the wrong quarterback. Patriots aren’t having to do that. They are straight in year two.  I suppose you could argue that they did draft the wrong one and then built like you said.  The difference is, if that were the case, they moved on from their mistake. That’s what I am thinking about that.

      Sam Darnold can’t throw the ball past the line of scrimmage.

      Yeah. That start to his career was about as bad as it can get. In New York, Meat grinder press corps, of the first degree,    When he came here he was on OC 3 - in year 3.  And people in this fan base that think they are smart, could not take that stuff into account.  Now, most of the smart ones are not Bryce Stans but Bryce gets 4 damned years free pass. At least 3  The fail of the organization AND fan base in general, fuging shamefully short sighted,  And the choking thing, players have to fail before they succeed. With very few exceptions. Last year was really his first meaningful, high stakes game. Okay, he didn’t play well. They learn from that, or are supposed to. You don’t throw out a guy with all those tools and with his rocky did him no favors background for not being perfect right away.  He might suck in the SB, but he proved a ton this year.    If we’d have had any patience he was the guy to use it on, not Bryce Young.
