Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns


Recommended Posts

If they aren't going to pay him a monster contract that he'll probably demand, then trade him before we get there. I don't know how we'll be able to pay Burns, Brown, and Chinn. Best to trade him now if he doesnt make sense financially so we can get something in return.

I am not saying that... Im saying you cant claim that the injury bug hits old age teams with certainty. There is no statistical evidence to support that. 

There is no certainty except that time and age are undefeated. The older a roster gets, the worse the odds. With the Rams I’m betting on the decline, and that’s the logical bet. Could they get better and make a SB run? Sure. Heck, the Panthers could make a SB run this year.

I was on the fence until last game. I’d do it because he’s going to get an 80-100 mill contract. He’s not a complete player. He is a very very good pass rusher but he has a strength issue and is constantly not able to get guys to the ground to become that dominant player. It’s year 4. We should’ve seen it by now. I get the risk that we’d have to replace him though and we can certainly draft someone much much worse. I’d pull the trigger though.

Sorry, but they are idiots if they turn down 2 firsts. Brian Burns is not enough of an impact player to pay him what we are going to have to pay him. 

Don't think it's been mentioned, but we probably have to consider that this is one of those deals high profile enough that it might not be entirely up to Fitterer 🤔

But making a super bowl run this year doesnt matter in the context of this entire conversation. The picks are 2024 and 2025. 

This year Rams arent going to be more than an edge playoff team because they have lost almost their entire starting oline for the year. They still field a top5 defense and have excellent coaches on both sides of the ball. 

 

we are trying to hedge our bets, but there are more stats that favor the Rams winnning next year than losing. Their division turnover is already enough to put the Rams in favor.

I've been against trading him for multiple firsts in other threads, but this is one I would seriously consider purely due to them being picks in a few couple years. There is a legitimate chance those picks could be very high as they are strapped for draft picks already, and have an aging core with Stafford.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they keep Smith.

Im sure they will , as long as Waldron doesnt take him with him. There have been rumblings that if Waldron gets a HC job (which I think he will based on the amount of jobs there will be this coaching cycle) that he and Geno would be a package deal.

Pie for you for understanding how the draft is viewed by GMs

I’m not looking at in from our GMs perspective.   No doubt future picks have less value to him.  To teams in general.  He needs to win.  Most teams do.   He has been part of a lot of slop of late.   It all gets weird when you have a bunch of random parts and no real vision on the future and path. 

I would take the trade.  I also want a new HC and a new GM that want to build something from the ground up. 

and Burns is not the type DE I would want to sign to a big deal anyway.  So why keep him.  Because then you have to dump a bunch of money into a guy thats just a pass rusher…..and he might not fit the next D scheme anyway.

    • I've watched and listened to several evaluations from the good ole youtubers.  From what I was able to watch, the first few drives before I left to do a job to the end of the game were very different for Bryce.  So he had a "good" game.  Which is great.  I love a win, period.  His WRs had some drops, thing ripped away, etc.  Not great, but a W is a W, right? I think the Panthers have to start Bryce.  You have to see if he continues to build on the good plays and make fewer and fewer bad plays.  No QB is going to play a perfect game.  But we need to continue to see Bryce make plays.  Does he have the ability to will his team to victory?  I'm not sure. I'm still in the Bryce is a backup QB camp.  I'm glad he had a good game, I glad we won, but I need to see more before we make a decision to keep or trade him.  Playing Andy literally does NOTHING to help you for the future.  Andy may not even resign with the Panthers.  We could be out both starting QBs by the time FA/Draft season hits. Ultimately, this is a Dan Morgan and Dave Canales issue.  Can they get value out of Bryce to help them improve the total roster?  Is there a FA QB who would be an upgrade?  A surprise cut or post season trade?  Or is there a QB at the top of the draft who they think they can mold into a high level starting QB?  I don't know. I do know I want to see more of Bryce Young and more out of him on the field.  I want to see the fire, the competitor come out.  I want him getting pissed.  I want him to grab his beanbag and tell us all he's the f'ing dude.  I just don't think we'll see that out of Bryce.  If not the fire, then let me see the ice - let me see the rattle proof dude who kills with accuracy and playmaking no matter how hot and crazy it gets.
    • Ickey at LT and Brady as Center / Swing position player is more valuable to our team IMO
    • That's fair but signing a veteran like Justin Fields to a one year deal and drafting defense with our first is always an option two.  I personally don't think these QBs this year are top 10 worthy selections
