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.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
