Just how good is Brian Burns anyways?

[Tepper's Chest Hair]

I am dreading the game that Burns plays badly this year.  And we all know it will happen for a rookie.

The Huddle is going to turn on him so fast.  

[DeAngelo Beason]

He's a force of nature.  The truly terrifying part for other teams is that he's still got a "kid" frame.  Two more years when he's filled out... good lord.

[Khyber53]

He's Spider-man for sure: a kid with incredible powers of strength, agility and senses able to go toe to toe with the biggest and baddest around, but he's still a kid and has a lot to learn. He's amazing, he's spectacular, but he's still just a kid.

Man he extended everything today that’s such a bonus with him I commend him for his scrambles and extending plays to get first downs.

We were missing to me our best DLineman and top CB at least who has the best hands Garner hits him like he did Ross once and BB once one would have been a pick probably both with DJ playing. His speed and hands were badly needed today vs the extra speedy Chark. Let’s not act like he isn’t a big part of the secondary which when playing takes us from average to above average type of secondary. 

Agreed.. he also bring an energy/cockiness to the secondary. He comes up to make plays and big hits. Hes not the best tackler but it isn't from lack of effort I tell you that lol.

Keary Colbert looked like it too.

Likewise, others who started off looking like they wouldn't be any good later became stars.

They're all talented. That's the easy part.

Stuff like discipline, durability, reliability and other things can only be proven over time.

My biggest concern with Burns right now is he seems susceptible to a lot of little injuries. So far that's no big deal, but it's one of those "back of my mind" things.

A lot of little injuries? It's one that came from blocking a punt.

Going back to preseason and camp...

Looks like he can be a stud.  I'm excited, and a little surprised to be honest.

At least one of those roughing the passer was BS.

I never did see a replay of the second one.

 Shades of Von Miller with his agility and speed.   He reminds me of what people thought that 6-6” kid miami drafted a while back should have been.  Jordan maybe?  cant remember his name

[Sapper]

Anyways isn't a word (sorry if that's been said).

[Basbear]

Early returns are looking GREAT. I can not get over how thin he looks, but still gives 330 LB bears issues. If the arrow continues up, space is the limit. Hes got a great grasp on setting up OT with movement. 

[Verge]

He is what he was in college, an unstoppable speed freak off the edge, but struggles against the run. It has transitioned well.

Can someone articulate for me how good this kid is?

“Good has many meanings. For instance, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of 400 yards, one might say that he is a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.” - GK Chesterton

Brain Burns is so good he could shoot your grandmother at a range of 500 yards.

Football fans sometimes remind me of kids in the back seat of a car on a long trip.

"Do we know if he's good yet?"

"It's been two games."

"Okay, it's been three games. How about now?"

"Still too soon."

"Okay, five games? Is he good yet?"

"We'll know when we know."

"And how many games will that be?"

"Ask your mother."

So true let's just enjoy it
