Baldy’s breakdown —> Burns lol

[pantherj]

And we could have traded him for two 1st round picks. Would have been the steal of the decade.

Don't forget the 2nd rounder.

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.

two firsts and a second

I still love how the media roasted us for trading away Burns for a second round pick to watch the Giants give Burns a ridiculous contract and underperform badly for them

Wish we had traded burns.  Either for two firsts with LA or said to Chicago, you got BURNS

Giants have one of the worst rushing D's in the league. Wonder why...

And they invested a lot of money in Dexter, Kayvion, and Burns to just have the same production as our line.

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!

He did his 1 trick early and then disappeared like he always has. 

[Sugar Greenwood]

He’s definitely a one-trick pony.  And the tricks he does have are above average at best.

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.
