Would keeping Burns require another big D-line addition?

Burns would thrive if we had a dominant offence so the opposition has to keep passing and not just run all over him. We’re not looking very close to that so that’s what I want to trade him and get as many assets as possible. Plus he’s not worth what he’s asking

If we are being honest, Burns should not be an every down type of player because he's terrible against the run.  

I have no problems with Burbs being an every down player. That's what the NFL has turned to do to the lack of true prototypical defensive ends. 

My problems is the Panthers have absolutely failed to find a long term solution for the other end of the defensive line.

I think that 33 goes to the offense. Don't know if tight end or WR but one or the other. We will keep Burns and hopefully find a free agent who is ready to flourish but weren't on the right defense. I think linebacker is also a need as well as corner. Corners might be easier to find since we play so much zone they seem more plentiful that shut down corners who play man.

Any pass rusher is going to benefit from a bookend, but Burns has never been one to fight through double teams or command triple teams. I could be full of crap there but AFAIK that’s the case. 
 

If you make a big investment in Burns do you now have to give him a FA or #33 pass rusher to keep him effective? 
 

The answer probably feels obvious to some but I just felt like throwing that out there. 

Maybe the answer isn't what can we do to make Burns better, but could Burns be the thing that makes someone else better. 

Maybe he just isn't the lead edge rusher kind of guy, but works best as Edge2?

It may be the thing his agent hopes that no one starts saying out loud.

He made life easy for Reddick.

He's the 4th best player (Brown, Luvu, Horn (when healthy) on the Panthers defense.  The fact he wants elite money is crazy.

We had Riddick and he had more sacks than Burns. We let him walk because reasons. Don't tell me you can't find a FA to put up similar numbers for half the cost. 

Another bad decision made by the former regime - letting Riddick walk for what Philly paid him.  We could have easily signed him to the same deal.

The key to increasing Burns value to this defense is another EDGE who demands attention/respect.  If you don't add that then get ready for a heavy dose of running at Burns side from other teams and Burns putting up numbers similar to last year's.

I think YGM played well last year, but he lacks the speed/explosiveness to be "that EDGE" that helps elevate Burns's game.  It's why he can't even be considered to play LB....his overall speed. 

I will say YGM is much better against the run than Burns.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.
