So, Burns wasn't worth 30 million a year, but we should have gotten 2 first rounds picks?  Both can't be true. 

I knew he'd get paid. It's just hiw the NFL works. 

Oh, and now we have zero pass rush.  

 

Should we have taken the 2 firsts from the Rams, yes, that being said Fitterer didn't and is no longer a part of the team plus Burns didn't really perform up to the standard. His play last season wasn't worth 30 Million and of course it also ended up hurting what we could potentially get for him. Personally, I wanted both their 2nd rounders but I'll take what we got and be done with his contract talk headache.

We can bitch and moan about the trade that never happened and things aren't going to change.  

I would venture to say this was probably our best offer for Burns. It didn't help much with the tweet a couple of days ago saying Burns was worth on a 3rd. 

It frees up 24 million and hopefully we find a DE that will make this loss less of a sting. I can't remember his name but there is an edge rusher from Dallas that played well last year and is on the market. Maybe Morgan has his eyes on him.

One other thing about this trade that should be taken into consideration.  That's what Morgan does with the 24 million we just freed up.

I like the deal for us. What are the Giants thinking paying him that LMAOOO that fanbase will hate him by week 3

I give it about to week 3 until Panthers fans realize that any team will score 30+ on us.

To all the people saying we will guaranteed get at least a first for burns, here is me saying I told you so...

The fact many of us thought we would get a first rounder + either a somewhat good player or a 3rd/4th rounder was even more foolish.

Good for Burns though - he found a team foolish enough to give him a crazy contract.

The issue is *IF* you are going to turn down that offer, you must sign him long term. PERIOD. 

You go to the agent and if its not going to happen, take the haul and use the cap space on his replacement. Reddick went for 3 years 45million and put up better #s.

Wah wah wah. 

Shoulda woulda coulda....

Nobody whom was part of the team wanted Burns gone. 

Regardless of how you feel he's worth/not worth, NFL economics doesn't give a damn what you think. 

He just signed a deal 30 million a year.  So in the eyes of the NFL, that is what he's valued at. 

Belly ache all you want to. Blame everyone for all I care. This isn't madden, and never will be.

Its crazy because it doesn't feel like the Giants are 'one piece away' or anything. They still need a QB. This is a CPU in Madden type of move for them.

Lmao, maybe read what I said again. I'm perfectly FINE that we traded him for what we could get for him. Like I said I'd have liked have got their 2 2nd's but I'll deal with the 2nd and next years 5th AND get our 24 million back from his Franchise Tag. I'm fine with trading him because he didn't perform up to what he wanted us to pay him and we atleast got something instead of hanging on just to get nothing yet again

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
