Speaking of revisiting trades: Brian Burns

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

    • I thought he was from watching him play and also doing his first HC job. I thought he was the real deal  Apparently what happened is Kraft committed to Mayo and I don’t remember the timeline exactly - but Vrabel was unemployed at the same time Belichick was unemployed. They both were fired (or out) after the 2023 season.  Kraft hired Mayo. Who was kind of an obvious disaster. He probably already had the deal in place but I will give Kraft credit for not sleeping. With Vrabel out there for 2025 he made the move he needed to make and if it hurt Mayo’s feelings then oh well.  I guess you can tell I am not fond of Kraft but that was a really savvy move. At his age, pretty good. Still has it. 
    • It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here. I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen. FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.    
    • I always thought of him as an uptight military family dude, didn't know he needs to wash that mouth out with soap lol.
