I couldn’t trade DJackson to the Steelers for Diontae Johnson and the pick swap. Real life is obviously unrealistic. 

Yeah I tried getting rid of the same players we did IRL, but apparently the cap hit in Madden makes it impossible. I did end up resigning Luvu and Chinn. The only other one I kept that we got rid of IRL was Bozeman. I ended up getting a bunch of picks from gutting the team like we did and I packaged Corbett along with 4 other picks to get into the top 5 of the draft and Jayden Daniels was available, so i picked him. Feels like playing with Cam all over again.

Burns might do well for a couple games at the start of the season, but then will quickly regress to status quo.

Burns is a very good athlete. He'll beat OTs that aren't technically sound. If he had to play Icky twice a year, he'd have an easy 5 sacks in those two games alone. 

He needs to become a more consistent tackler and be more under control at the point. He probably misses just as many sacks as he makes. Like gets there and then misses the tackle. Plus, once teams start running at him, he starts to lose interest in the game. 

If my offensive tackles were weak in pass pro, I'd run right at Burns the first 3 drives. He'll give you 5+ yards a run, easy. You can even get fancy and use a TE to kick him out. And that's if he doesn't just get too far upfield that he takes himself out of the play. Yeah, he's not worth 20M+ a year. He just isn't.

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.....

He should have excelled in a 3-4 system.  More possibilities for scheming 1v1's.  He was never a good 4-3 end because he gets beat down in the run game.

Ding, ding, ding.  We have a winner!

....Morgan saw that he was a malcontent with low character and got rid of his azz..end of story. The laughable part is he had the audacity to want TJ Watt money... lol

This.....time to let it go

Honestly, if Burns got credit for a sack for beating The lineman guarding him but whiffing on the sack, he'd be a top three pass rusher. It's pretty crazy how many times he beat his guy and had a free run at the QB and completely wiffed. I think that is why PFF and other systems like that grade him high even though his stats weren't what you'd expect for a guy that got the contract he did.

Even a couple of years ago, I thought he was one of the best pass rushers that never could sack the QB.

They got a great player. Will he become elite? Time to find out. Doesn't matter to us anymore.

I just can't really mock other teams right now when I'm a fan of the reigning worst team in the league. Just doesn't feel right.

We have absolutely NOTHING else to mock them about. But yeah, feels kinda empty.

Being the worst team in the league and then not even having the excitement of having the #1 overall pick because we've already traded it away feels like one of the bigger fanbase dick punches possible. Imagine how much worse it's gonna be if Caleb Williams turns out great for the Bears, as far fetched as that seems given their historic struggles at QB.
