Speaking of revisiting trades: Brian Burns

[toldozer]

Dump that at shitterers feet. Two firsts and a second. Instead we traded CMC off for scraps and ate an ass ton of dead money

[Khyber53]

While he was here, Burns was more of a fan favorite than an actual force on the field. Glad he was able to find a home elsewhere, but it wasn't like we traded away prime Peppers.

Still, would have been nicer to have gotten that package deal from the Rams, but we were stupid.

The only thing that upsets me is that we didn't take the offer from the Rams.

Let's not forget he is on an absolutely STACKED d line. Good for Burns, but you can't say he would be putting up these numbers here.

and fired the dude that pushed to do it

All of these sacks and yet he isn't helping them win games. Burns was not going to thrive being on the Panthers, he needs the Giants defensive line to take the pressure away from him. Am I upset that we traded him? No, I do believe that we could have gotten more for him though. Panthers have had talent in the past, we just can't keep them all together and win with them ex CMC, DJ Moore, Burns.

Exactly. He is like the #2 WR that stacks receptions because teams can’t leave the #1 guy in single coverage. They have to dare somebody to beat them. 
 

Of course once he knew we turned down two 1sts he was going for the huge contract if he wasn’t already. I  think we were right to let him go at that point. 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Just like Baker and Sam, he didn't really produce poo here. So who cares?

Should have traded him to the Rams when they offered two first round picks. 

Another Fitterer blunder. 

This is just mind blowing to me.

I would believe you if you told me Fitterer was intentionally sabotaging the team.

It is completely unacceptable, unbelievable, and unforgivable.

Bingo. Burns is very good, no question, but he is a complimentary piece.
