True but that money for Burns would be something we didn’t have now. OL, DL, Horn, Etc. We would just be complaining about those things.

I am of the opinion that in the long run it doesn't matter. I know it kind of sticks in the craw about passing up the 2 first rounders for him, only to not sign him, and ultimately ship him out for less, but I am confident we would've spent those picks on stupid poo anyway. It's what we do.

Why didn't feast last year? Was it maybe due to the lack of another elite pass rusher being across from him?

Is he just a guy that needs only elite players on the DL to produce at an elite level? Is he elite then?

I will say other elite pass rushers don't seem to have the issue with producing like he does. 

I mean, I wouldn't classify him as elite, but he is good. Are you arguing that he's JAG? There aren't many elite pass rushers in the league today in my opinion. Carter and Thibodeuax don't seem to be. I mean, come on. Sometimes rushers get to the QB, sometimes they don't. Sometimes injuries slow a player down. I haven't seen Hutchinson enough, but he just got paid like an elite pass rusher, and we all know that Parsons is. Who else is really elite? Crosby and Watt can rain terror, at times.  Hendrickson is good, but a Johnny-come-lately. Other guys seem to be on the same level as Burns. The days of Pep or Reggie White have been gone. 

I mean, take away good pass rushers from other good pass rushers, and they're bound not to generate as much sacks or pressure. It's still a team sport at the end of the day.

Hell, I think it's pretty obvious at this point. Mind you, I'm not saying that we should've kept him considering the circumstances.

I think we should’ve kept him . Pass rushers don’t grow on trees . I also feel like we should’ve took the rams deal . No way you let him go for a second rd pick smh

I too think he should've been kept, more so after that deal was declined. It's a premium position, and your team either has the ability or they don't. There is not really an inbetween.

Doesn't matter any now though, and that's fine too. Not my money, not my choices to make.

13 sacks on the year so far. Half of those came against the Jets. NFL.com has us ranked 26th overall. We are probably good then, right?

No, in what world are those good stats?
