I mean, except a team traded picks and gave burns a 30 million a year contract.

Reality hurts.

And the Dolphins once gave up a draft pick for Greg Little - the Giants 'trading picks' is irrelevant. They gave up peanuts because Carolina had less than zero leverage thanks to the past FO regime and the Giants paid him for whatever reason they paid him, which my guess is that they felt it was worth it since Kayvon is under his rookie deal for another 3 years and they feel like the combined impact of the two may be worth the total average cost between them.

Burns himself is just not an impact player, and 5 years of tape is the reality here. Carolina just royally screwed it all up, as they've done for years now.

Yeah, the Giants felt otherwise. 

Anyway, the Panthers now have a chance to sign guys with half or less of Burns production per year. So, I wonder what fans will say about these players if they consider Burns to not be an impact player? A net-negative player?

Easy answer - a non-impact pass rusher that doesn't cost 30 million a year. We can find that for like 3 million a year

Sure, if you want a warm body. Mix and match and compare PFF grades to make everyone feel better about it too. PFF rated Chase Young higher than Burns pretty much every year despite him producing half as much statistically and two teams pushing him out the door as fast as they could.

All that's going to really matter is when the season starts were the Panthers able to replace the pass-rush, and overall production, of Burns, Luvu, and Jackson. If not then the defense is going to be worse than a team that went 2-15.

Of course our defense is going to be worse than last year - our goal needs to be to either full on tank or try and get a good oline/weapons for Bryce to see if he is actually worth a poo. Trying to make our defense better by paying overrated pass rushers $150 million is the last thing we need to do. And with how much Burns hated us, I wouldn't be surprised if he was asking for $40 million a year from us

Well, then just say we're tanking, we're trying to be a bad team for asset acquisition.

I wish we were. I would love to literally just field a team of JAGs for 2 years and just stockpile draft picks and start anew in 2026, instead of the stupid poo we have been doing the past 5 years of thinking we are only 1 or 2 players away and proceeding to go 6-11 or worse

The Panthers went 2-14 and are getting worse on defense. I don't think we have to worry about going 6-11 unless Bryce Young has an extraordinary turn around. Which if happens then the team will immediately start making moves to win in 2025.

I was referencing a 5 year span. I'm not sure we get a win this year

It’s not tanking…it’s rebuilding which takes years given our situation.

Morgan will try. Considering his involvement the past few years..I’m not holding out hope.

Same-same. Saving on Burns is nice, but using that money to sign a pile of JAGs to do worse isn't much of a plan unless they are tanking.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
