I realize how important sacks are.  Sometimes if you have a great defensive on one side, and a good one on the other end ,, then the great one could get home more because of less double teams.. 

Then think of this,   17 games, and lets use a arbitrary number of 25 ,, the QBs throw 25 times a game.  You say that time the 17 game and that's 425 times your GREAT pass rusher  has a shot at the QB .    If he gets 12 sacks a year ,,  that means he gets home   0.028 % of the time.  Or once every 35 times the QB drops back.  

Crazy money for salaries based on "sacks" .    

Gawd I hope my numbers are right lol..

The same people whining about not wanting to pay him will whine about the result of not paying him.

I mean, we aren't in win now mode.  We are in developing Bryce Young build around him mode.  

If you have a good front office....you should be able to generate pressure in a 3-4 scheme with a well built roster.   Without breaking the bank on any one player IMO.   And it should be a couple years before we are legitimately trying to make a run so we have some time to build up the roster as well.

for 120+ guaranteed? I'd rather go pay for a proven dominant DT and a dominant pass rusher.    Because you can get 2 for the same price.  Roster management. 

the best DTs have just been signed for 60.  And some of the best pass rushers in the game just signed for less than 60.  Market hasn't been flipped on it's head because of Bosa.  The other Bosa, Garrett, and Mack already were getting stupid 100+ guaranteed. 

end of the day, I'd rather have a well built roster than a handful of studs.  That's always been a Panther problem.

that the problem with over emphasizing stats in general, they don’t reflect the actual impact. Pass rushers do more than just get sacks. Just to name a couple other ways they impact, pressures lead to bad throws (incompletions and interceptions). Double teams lead to other players being able to make an impact.  There’s a lot more to it than “they get a sack .028% of the time”.  It’s also why DTs can command high salaries despite usually not getting much on the stat sheet, and why even ones who aren’t Donald are still extremely valuable and expensive despite not showing up on the stat sheet much.

I don't disagree with you..  It's why I mentioned , who is playing on the other end of the defensive line determines how many double teams the Great Pass Rusher gets.   There's a lot more than sacks ..  but it seems to be the big stat we constantly hear.   How many teams design plays away from the defensive end,, etc.  But someone in management of these teams finds sacks very important.

well, as a team lead by Burns last year. 

we were bottom half of the league in pressure %, knockdown %, hurry %

There's only a few teams with a well built roster. 49ers and Eagles come to mind.

 

That's what happens when you draft well every year. You simply have to pay your elite stars on your team. Burns happens to be the best player on the team. Pay him and get it over with. We are in no position to lose our best player right now.

I would argue the team was lead by Rhule. Just like the years our offense was bad under Cam wasn’t because he’s not a great QB. There’s only so much that players can compensate for shitty leadership.

I would say there are a lot more than 2 well built rosters in the NFL.

    • 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 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
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
