Wish we could have had the current Baker here and developed him to this point

I don't wish Bryce any ill will but don't feel as if he is the future. When he looks a little better then I'm always happy and I will say he does not appear to be playing as afraid as he was. Still has a ways to go but playing a little less scared. I don't hope for bad performances out of him at all and happy to see him improve any at all but at the same time still do not see nearly enough to warrant calling him the future either. Just my honest assessment but I'm never going to get mad if he plays better yet I have not seen enough to say he is the future currently. Let's see what the rest of the season holds.

He was what we thought he was. Good riddance and enjoy that big check that NY is thankfully paying

Totally makes sense

So I was wrong on the sacks but he still sucks playing the run and is a huge liability. He also has zero tenacity in him because it took playing the Panthers and him getting hyped all up to get his second sack of the season. If he had any nastiness about him, he would have many more sacks of he can motivate himself so much to get sacks at will like this. He isnt worth anywhere near what the Giants paid for him. Good riddance.

Yeah but he still sucks against the run and is a liability. He also shows how much actual grit he really has because it took this game to get him to actually do something and get his second sack of the season (he only had one leading into this game correct?). If he had any heart he would get himself up for every game and have many more by now. This is his super bowl today and he still isn't going to take the game over and change the outcome. Im still glad he is gone

Agree to disagree. Burns wasnt worth keeping either way and I'll take those future picks.

I have the advantage of being in retrospect now but I still don't see it with how much was offered.

I'm convinced that there would be some in here complain and bitch if he wrote a million dollar check to an abused women's or children's charity. Doesn't matter if he has made total poo decisions as an owner or not up until this point. Fact is he has remained fairly out of the spotlight this season and appears to have taken a step back and letting the football people make the decisions. It seems like he is slowly attempting to make moves to earn a little trust back and I won't even begin to try to deny that he has zero problems spending whatever he has to in order to try to make this team competitive. I'm not happy with his ownership so far but he is going nowhere so I'm hopeful he will keep eating his humble pie and slowly redeem himself. I'm not content with his ownership at all but some of you act like if he offered to buy you dinner and hang out that you would immediately turn him down. We all make mistakes in life and the truly smart ones learn their lessons and adjust. He may be going through his own evolution and doing just that who knows. He hasn't done anything this season to piss me off so I would say let him continue to slowly prove he is maturing as an owner.

I will never forgive Fitterer for not taking that trade from the Rams. He is by far one of the worst GMs I have ever seen or right there at the very top. I wouldn't trust him to be in charge of cleaning sweaty jock straps much less run an NFL team. It's sad how far he set the team back by not taking that trade

I sure do miss the days of having guys like Cam, Luke, Peppers, Olsen, Steve Smith etc who were faces of the franchise and could dominant games. I hope we can soon find and develop future faces of the franchise like the past guys and find a strong identity with some game changers on defense.

I remember some of those poor showings by Peppers but even in those times I don't feel like Brian Burns would be anywhere close to his level. Peppers was better than Burns in every way. I've never seen Burns even once show that he could take an entire game over and severely affect the outcome and for the money he wanted I sort of expect him to have that Peppers ability. I know our defense is weak now but I'm still glad he is gone and so happy we didn't pay him that monstrous contract he wanted.

Not really. I don't think he is nearly as good as some think he was and his stats this year so far help back that up. He just isn't dominant for the money he got. I don't think we got much for him in trading but I sure as hell didn't want us to pay him what the Giants did. Remember the players on defense back in the day who were faces of the franchise and dominant? Burns definitely is no Peppers or Luke or anyone to that level and couldn't take over a game. He just wasn't as great as he thought he was in my opinion. We could use him of course but no way I would pay that kind of money for what he offers in his play.

Zero and he complains about his hamstring and sits some of the game

Yes, and it sucks for us that his realization were true unfortunately. Little nice guy is probably exactly who you would want your daughter dating but not who you would want quarterbacking your NFL franchise.

I will say, sometimes I probably fan the wrong way. If ive had a rough day sometimes im more apt to be a general asshole in my discussions on here and other days im good just here telling bad jokes and making productive conversation.

Oh wow thats awful! I read your link and see it occurs mostly in people 50 and over so he unfortunately beat the odds there. Thats a shame

He does play aggressive and tough for a WR but he wont talk aggressive and wont talk too much trash. He is fairly quiet on gameday I can tell you that for certain with 3 years up close with him in college. Hell of a great guy and a physically strong athlete and competitor but pretty quite on the field

Yeah, what was Cooper's story? Why wasnt he a QB god like everyone else?

Agreed. Sometimes the apple dont fall far from the tree but it doesnt have the same taste as the proven apples. Not sure why but sometimes they just dont. My dad was a DE at a major university and bounced around in the NFL a year at a time on a few practice squads so wasnt a successful NFL player but was a monster in college. Me, I was a walk on at division 1 level and didnt have the size or strength of my dad to play DE and was one of those wimpy little receivers. My apple fell far from the tree and it happens to others even NFL royalty like a Manning

This guy gets it! And he has a cool looking avatar picture thing

Technically I am responsible for the other of his posts since I was a nice guy and struck up conversation after that fact. If he stays and becomes a long time contributor I pretty much take credit because everyone around here loves me anyhow.

By the way, I agree with what you posted. There are a ton of guys who I think would bitch here if Dan Morgan handed them a suitcase filled with 100 dollar bills

I dont care about Manning and already know all the Mannings would have issues with it and I already know Sanders dad wont allow it here either so im thinking beyond those two.
