In all honesty, we needed a replacement for Burns when we drafted Burns. His best move was the Spider-man pose that everyone loved. And beyond that, he proved to be a modestly accomplished edge rusher, modestly. 

And he couldn't play the run to save his life.

Sorry, had to throw that in. Loved the guy, but he just never hit the potential we hoped for.

He was a good speed rusher and good on pursuit against the run. He pretty much sucked at everything else. Luckily for him his strength is what gets you paid and teams will overlook the flaws if you can put the QB on his back.

Unless he is Ben Rothlisraper,  how is Mike Green not a top 10 lock? 17 sacks, 100% effort on every play, great measurables. Marshall be damned. You think that guy wouldn't have more than 4 1/2 sacks in 3 years at A&M? Panthers, please stop just looking at the panty parade and look for some production!

We expected about four or five more per season than we got. Like I said, he was decent but not great like we had hoped.

I dont hate the pick but would like to see it in a trade down. 

Honestly I think we are in a good spot to trade down as the run on OT's will start right after us, so we can get a team to jump a head of it and still get a player we want.

I was fine with the sack numbers if he'd been better setting the edge against the run. But it hurts having a huge money guy who is such a liability in certain key aspects. You want those pass rushers to get teams off the field on 3rd and long but if they're getting it ran down their throats so you struggle to get to 3rd and long it kinda defeats the purpose.

Also, he was long and lean, but strength and mass were lacking. Tough to play him at edge like that. He was a tweener betwixt edge and OLB. Just wasn't the right fit for a team in transition, or for a team trying to transition to fit him.

Grab draft picks that fit who your team is.

I mean, he's 250 pounds. He's not undersized for a 3-4 OLB type and honestly only marginally undersized for a 4-3 weakside DE. it's about mentality. Rushing the QB is the fun part of the job. Setting the edge against the run requires a lot of want to. He just never seemed all that enthusiastic about wanting to do that part of the job.

      The panthers offense right now is spiritually the same as the 2010s Seahawks. They want to keep it close until the fourth quarter and then try to pull a rabbit out of their hat. instead of running marshawn into the line 30 times a game, we’re throwing 20 passes behind the line of scrimmage. And instead of Russell Wilson bullshit, we’re getting 20 yard drives to set up a 55 yard field goal. Also that team had multiple hall of famers and we’ve got the worst qb in the league by whatever collections of metrics you want to use

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      So if Bryce could have come to Carolina with the same advantages he had every year at Alabama he would have been successful. Good coaches. Top recruiting classes far better than the opposition. Defense able to bail him out if he has a bad game.  Still doesnt change anything regarding footwork, mechanics, drop backs, reading the field, poor placement or any of the other myriad of issues that are still present in year 3.  Bryce wasn't ready to be the day 1 starter. There's nothing wrong with that. Dalton was clearly the more capable QB, as evidenced by what happened in Seattle in the rain, under extreme pressure. Same players, same coach, same terrible offensive line. Two different offenses.  When you look at Bryce and what he's done in game over the course of 3 years it's not pretty. He has moments of good, but there's been a lot more WTF. But saying Bryce would have been able to lead a team to the playoffs? Based on what we saw from him, he probably would have spent a good bit of year one on the bench holding a clipboard.

      Feels on brand for Mike Brown.  He's very anti trade.
