so you think Burns by himself is more valuable than Keeping Brown, Luvu, a 1st and Jameson Williams in this hypothetical trade? I was all for keeping Burns and paying him 28million but at this point I'm not expecting it and feel like he's going to get the tag and trade treatment this offseason. Fan base going downhill is comical? Have you seen the post in this place? I'm an optimist compared to 90% of this place.

Im not talking about any trades. Im talking about the mindset of the fanbase. Every time a player is ready to get paid we seem to want to trade them for picks or a player on a rookie contract.

Im just wondering why are fans against paying our homegrown players?

I don't think that's true on the whole. There are alwaysfans that think X player is overrated/not worth the money/etc, and they are frequently outspoken. It gets a lot of attention around here because big players are just that - big.

I think it's also a symptom of the state of the team sucking for so long. It's like a perpetual rebuild/state of purgatory, and one way to dig out is to maximize and spread the value of the players a team has. Carolina's FO has also happened to suck at it for the past decade.

People rioted when we paid Shaq. We also historically pay our all stars: Cam, Luke, Moton, CMC, DJ. 

I'd be all for paying Burns if we were close, but an above average DE does not move the needle at all for this team, a Lions first could possibly get you the best guard or the 3rd WR in the next draft which does a lot more for this particular team.

I'm all for paying Burns, Should of done it last year. Pay him, Pay Brown, Pay Luvu. But they do dumb things like pay Donte Jackson, pay Miles Sanders, pay Shuttle who has been a dud.

I keep thinking of this place shitting on Fitt for the CJ Henderson and a 5th for Arnold and a 3rd trade. 
 

That was a year removed from CJ being a top 10 pick. 

 

Now a lot of people are okay trading for Williams based on his draft status, while showing far less than CJ had in the NFL.

 

I would love to take a flyer on Williams, but the inconsistency is pretty funny.

I want my teams GM trying those low risk high reward type trades. I loved that move. 

Same would go if fitts able to buy low on what many called the best WR form the 2022 class.

I don't think Burns wants to be hear anymore.  We might as well trade him off for a decent return.  

Didnt he start a new charity this past year?

I think him and the army around him want every nickle close to 30per million. No hometown discount.

I still say tag and go form there.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
