Its up to Fitter to trade Burns since he refused to give him the extension he so deserved! And if he doesn't, he's walk for nothing. What a clown this guy is.

Trade Burns for Jamo NOW!!!!

It's a WIN WIN for both sides to fill a BIG NEED!!!  DO IT FITTER!!!!

His chemistry  with Bryce is underrated. A wr I'd definitely  be on board for. His rookie contract also helps us continue  to build. I been on the Metcalf train too but Jameson  allows for more building and His stock is lower.

Prediction: we trade a late pick for a big RB. Cheap way for a big improvement. Right now this is a big deal on short yardage plays not having a single QB or RB that can move a pile. 

We would be insane to trade away any picks even late one for a RB.  Any RB we get using a late round pick is not going to be any better than someone we have on the roster.   If you are going to reach for a RB I'd rather poach one off a practice squad which would only force us to keep him on the roster.

Definitely and a big back won’t be very effective out of our primarily shotgun offense. But I would definitely ship a late pick for a proven Vet WR to help Bryce develop

They absolutely need to do something in order to help Bryce. I truly dgaf who they trade from the defense if it means helping Bryce out on the offensive side of the ball. What he’s working with right now is criminal. 

The last few weeks Bryce has proved a lot while doing so with below average talent. 6 games into a career. Please get this kid some damn help

Former beat writer Jonathan Jones reiterates Burns is unlikely to be traded:

Quote

Teams are being told Carolina is unwilling to trade Brian Burns. Safety Jeremy Chinn was the most likely player to be moved there before his quad injury landed him on IR. Cornerback Donte Jackson and wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. are also on the block.

Burns for a 1st+.  TMJ or Chark for some day 3 picks.  Donte Jackson possibly a day 2 pick or a combination of early day 3 picks.

I don't know how you can let Chark or Jackson go unless you get a significant offer. Chark still offers some semblance of a deep threat (if Bryce can get time to throw). And, we are thin on DBs at the moment.

    • 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.
