Poor guy has made tens of millions of dollars to be terrible. We should all be so fortunate.

I'm sure he would have rather made millions of dollars and actually have been successful too.  Nobody likes being a failure, no matter your status in life.

We need to move Burns for picks.  I could see us double dipping but we need to find a future starting C in this draft, as well.

The FA market for center is actually fairly deep.  It's a matter if we can afford any of them.  You typically don't get starting rookie centers unless they are day 1 or day 2 picks.  I wouldn't mind drafting one on day 3 and developing him.

Tough for me to call someone who has made that much money a "failure". I'm sure he'll manage.

True. That’s why I qualified my statement by saying ‘future’ and not ‘immediate’.  Probability of JPJ falling to 33 is likely 0% but if he did, you would have to seriously consider taking him there.  If we can convert Burns to picks, we might be picking 2 WR’s and a C in our first three picks.  Maybe.

$27m per for Wilkins, that Brown contract is going to be eye opening

edit: I don't think the Panthers are going to be able to afford both Brown and Burns. Think one is gone.

I think most of us prefer Burns to hit the road. Your correct though, retaining both is really not an option.

Darnold performed well in 2022 when he was supported by a run-first offense and wasn't asked to win games by himself. He could be a very good QB on a team like Minnesota that will put a lot of talent around him. But if Kevin O'Connell is going to try to throw the ball 70% of the game, Darnold is going to look like he always has. 

It never ceases to amaze me how highly-drafted QB busts always find teams willing to try rehabbing them despite the success rate on those type of reclamation projects being nearly zero. How many times has this actually worked in the last 30 years?

I get it for teams that need a backup like the 49ers did; that makes sense. But for teams looking for a starting QB to actually think they can take a guy who has failed to live up to the hype after 4+ years in the league and turn them into a quality starter just reeks of arrogance on the part of the HC and/or desperation or naivety (or both) on the part of the GM.

One is among the elite players at his position, the other is a good - sometimes even great - player who wants to be paid like he's elite.

If you're going to pay elite player money, just make sure you're giving it to an elite player.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
