Josh Allen of the Jags just signed pretty much the exact same deal as Brian Burns. 5 Years, $150m, $88m guaranteed.

Both guys are about the same age (25 & 26yrs old), same measurables (6’5 250ish), first round draft picks in the 2019 draft, similar career sack numbers (45 & 46). But uh oh, there’s a few key differences. Josh Allen is coming off the best year of his career with 17.5 sacks. Brian Burns is coming off his second worst behind only his rookie season. Josh Allen lost half of the 2020 season to injury and their career sack totals are neck and neck despite Brian Burns playing 6 more games. And Josh Allen is twice the run defender Burns is with a run defense grade of 82.4 to Burns’ 56.3 over the past 2 seasons, and a pass rush win rate of 17.5% to Burns’ 11.6%.

We actually got the Giants to send us the 39th pick in the draft for the right to overpay Brian Burns.

Guys please I love you all. Let's just move on from Burns.

 

He's no longer our problem.

Great contribution. God forbid we discuss something that just happened today that adds perspective to something that happened just a month ago. There’s so much else going on right now after all.

Can't be considered overpayment because of 2 different systems.

If these were Burns 2nd worst stats in a 4-3 defense, with his hand in the dirt every play, I would say this argument holds merit. The problem is that a 3-4 OLB is also asked to drop in coverage. Of course his stats will be down.....

I mean most of us wanted Burns gone. Now that he's gone why are we still discussing him?

 

It's like the crazy ex. Let the man go!

 

This was no shot at you. I'm talking in general about Burns. Wish him well, but I don't really care to discuss him anymore. Giants will found out sooner than later what he's all about. Then we can pile on Burns.

He's a prototypical 3-4 OLB. He gets blocked into the bleachers as a 4-3 DE against the run.

We’re discussing him because hours ago the Jags signed his better counterpart to the exact same deal, which was information we did not previously have and makes the Panthers deal look better. You knew this was a thread about the Burns deal before you opened it nobody is forcing you to talk about it, I just don’t see the point in you trying to keep others from talking about it.

As you said about Cam two years after he left??????  (Just kidding--might not have been you, but we still get the old, "Bring back Cam!" threads.  Not dissing Cam--blaming Ron Rivera for using him like a tank.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
