Most overrated player in Panthers history. Good riddance. 

I feel like I'm going insane when I hear basically anyone related to the NFL outside of Carolina talk about how good Burns is. The commentators during this last game were gushing all over him, and indirectly implying that the Panthers were fools to let him go. It's infuriating that he gets away with only having one or two above average plays per game, and he gets called elite for it. Oh well, not our problem anymore.

It's because he gets 8 or 9 sacks per season on plays where he's basically left totally unblocked.  Like his sack this game.

As we beat on Burns, let's also not suggest that he "sucks." He is an outstanding pass rusher and generates a lot of QB pressures. He just isn't elite and he isn't a finisher. Similarly, he is excellent and pursuit and running down plays but gets beat up at the point of attack.

Otherworldly athletic ability, without question.

The commentators are paid to pump up players. It doesn't have to be true because fans will believe it because they said so.

Getting manhandled by rookie WRs in the run game is just fuging embarrassing but also completely expected for Burns. The guy will always be a liability in the run game when you run right at him. He's a good pursuit tackler in the running game but he can't set an edge for poo. Never could. Probably never will.

And right before the game started, the sideline commentator relayed all of this rhetoric from Burns saying he was going to play with all of this passion and intensity due to the situation. Also saying he was so shocked the Panthers traded him in the offseason. This is why, you are single handedly without question taken out of numerous plays per game by WRs, TEs, and over pursuit! if Legette holds his block longer yesterday, he doesn't get the gift wrapped sack on the 1st drive. Guy is a bum to be honest. What an albatross of a contract!

You know, I am less butthurt about not making that trade in hindsight. Remember, that same goiter would have been the one making those picks.

Would he?  He got fired before the first one would have come up.  Would he have earned another year of patience because he sold off Burns?  I kinda doubt that.  I think that's the reason he didn't do it.  "No way I survive another year if I sell of my best pass rusher" kind of logic.

      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

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      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.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
