Leave your emotions at the door about Burns... it's a BUSINESS

BB and his agent know they have the Panthers by the brass balls that supposedly sit on Tepper's desk and I am not mad at he and his representation for 1 minute

 

Burns is getting 1 mega deal, maybe a second, but that's his window to earn all he can for he, his family and future. 

His agent has to keep a reputation for his/her self of client representation, there's no "hometown discounts" for a guy in his prime at a valuable position

When the Panthers turned down the haul they had offered, Burns and Co. knew they won the game, it was not a matter of if, just a matter of when. They also know the franchise spent a lot of draft capital for a rookie QB so the most expensive position in football doesn't have to get paid for 5 more seasons. 

 

While I DO NOT think Burns is worth the amount of money he will be getting, I understand the market need for DEs, the leverage he has and quite honestly if you remove your homer badge anyone of us with a pulse would do the same

 

Get that money Burns

Get a double digit sack season

He's not worth top of the market money imo but the panthers might have to pay him close to that to keep him on the team. I'm not sure we have any pass rush without him...

We have Houston. Maybe it's time to look at what is still out there.  There may no be a long term option, but maybe Dunlap is still serviceable.

If we have to change our expectations for the season so be it. Still  rebuilding with or without Burns. I'm intrigued by Barno

Not sure why anyone would be mad at him playing out the 5th year (or not), but I'm not grossly overpaying for his services just because he feels that he has the team over a barrel. The fifth best money in the league at his position seems about right. It's "fair" in my opinion.

He doesn’t have us by the balls.  He’s under a 5th year option.  Holding out means he loses millions and still doesn’t accrue a season.  Then back to the same spot he’s in right now.  We have a first year head coach and rookie QB.  I don’t think anyone believes this is a SB or bust team.  It’s not like Burns is the difference between a ring or a losing season.  Don’t overpay and handicap us for the next few years.  We have more holes to fill and no first rounder next year.  Let him hold out.  Let him lose millions.  Let the league forget about him by this time next year.  Or…he can agree to a deal that pays him in the top 8-10 for his position, which matches his performance.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this entire situation is reminiscent of the Charles Johnson situation back in the day. We overpaid for CJ, but he still had a solid but not spectacular career through that contract.

Hopefully Burns takes that next step once we pay him. He's a top 10ish Pass rusher in this league, and those top 10 guys tend to reset the market once their deals come up. In a year or two he will have a top 5 deal, and in another, he'll have a top 10 deal.

Play under the 5th year option and prove your worth. 

On David Tepper’s turf? No chance in hell.

The guy is trying to get a long term deal that will pay him millions, why risk it playing on the ligament monster that is the turf at BofA.

Agreed.  I referenced Charles Johnson in another thread as well.  We simply cannot make that same mistake twice.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
