I too get upset with Burns when during gamedays when it seems more often than not he's invisible for 75% of it, but looking at it in a way that's charitable to Burns:

Burns: 7 TFL, 9 QB hits, 4 sacks, 1 FF

Bosa: 5 TFL, 16 QB hits, 2.5 sacks, 1 PD

Bosa is hitting the QB more but Burns has more TFL and has actually brought QBs down at a more frequent pace. 

But it's not just the QB. The run is a huge portion and the influence a player has overall. Bosa is more of a threat to blow up any play, every play. Burns isn't. That's not a slight on him, it's just the way it is.

Nobody is saying Burns is perfect. Hes not a 30 mil guy but only because hes not a complete player. He isnt strong vs the run but as a pass rusher hes atleast top 15.

Don't disagree. The problem is Burns does and our turn down of the trade last year showed the club did too.

He's got his best run grade of his career from pff so far and saw a few things, might've been one from pff but don't remember that Said he played the run well against Miami.

We have the 31st worst D in the league. 10 worse offenses in the league than us all manage to win games but our offense would have to rival Miami’s to cover the ppg our D gives up. Why doesn’t Ejiro Evero get any heat around here?
