With our luck this might be true.

 

We overpaid to get him considering his contract from last season. Dude quadrupled his salary from last season. 

Yeah but only looking at last season is misleading. His average salary the previous four years (not last year) is around 9.2 million, so it's not that far off. One of those years it was 12 mil, so removing that it's like 7.5 to 8.

I feel the same, 2023 and prior. Not as sure for 2024 and feel like we are going to see exactly how much Burns was sandbagging. He is going to post numbers.

edit: Dan though, that was a good job. Replaced Burns for less and was paid in picks to do it.

Burns is going to put up impressive sack numbers this year. But taking it easy in 2023 while demanding $30 million a year lost me as a fan of him. I won’t miss him. I will miss Luvu and his energy.

The market is different now plus we don’t have the Aaron Rodgers or Mahomes factor where players will take less to get a shot at a Super Bowl

Maybe. Every year I kept thinking Burns would break out and it never happened. It was same ole, same ole. He would show up for a few snaps a game, maybe get a sack, and then disappear. 
If he does show improvement it will lower my opinion of him even more.

Burns best game will be against us as it is his “prove you wrong” game. And media will eat it up and ignore the rest of his season that will be good, but not great. Certainly not what they paid $30M for.

The giants definitely have the talent on the D-Line for Burns to feast but I feel that based on the QB spot situation they're in he'll be in the same spot he was in here where once the other teams puts up 17 points the other offense just runs the ball and goes to quick game passing knowing the game is already out of reach.

My biggest issue with Burns is that I never looked at a game and said we won that game because of Brian Burns. I'm sorry but if you're making $30 million a season you better be the sole cause of at least a couple of wins a season and not just being a good player on a team that wins occasionally. I expect a similar season from Burns this year where he has a couple of flashy athletic sacks but continues to disappear in long stretches and get overpowered in the run game by opposing TE's.

Fair, my point was even with that his long term average is not far off of what we paid. So a slight overpay for a position we absolutely had to have. I'm cool with it.

Vs. $30mil for one year and the same production?

And a better reputation against the run. Something we have desperately needed. 

I really think our work against the run last season was very indicative of how important Shaq Thompson was, not just as a tackler but in getting people in place and setting the tone for the group.

I've never been on the grab Clowney wagon in previous seasons and actually was dismissive of him again this season because I've thought he never played up to the potential that they said he had. He's been good-ish and solid, but not a game breaker. And when I looked at his production versus what BrIan Burns had produced, well, the math is that as sack artists they are pretty much the same, but there's some plus with run defense and we desperately need some veterans out there to bring our young folks along.

In the end, I think he was the right guy at the right time and the trade was a plus overall, not a grand slam or a homerun even, but a solid double that could position us better than we've been in a while. 

Edit to add: Oh yeah, and the money worked out better.

I think y'all are hyping this a bit much. Ravens had 5 pro bowlers on defense ? And Clowney wasn’t one. He was aloud to feast with that line and a scheme that put him all over because the other team was worried about everyone else.

Meanwhile here in Carolina he is most certainly going to have attention and be doubled up on.

Only plus is the money, he’d have to be very bad if he can’t earn 10 mil. This team still needs a dominant rusher go with the likes of Clowney/Browb to be in contention imo.

bro let us be happy

he might show up, but it won't be as embarrassing as Pepper's or Smitty's first game against us. Those we just painful.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
