Not really. I don't think he is nearly as good  as some think he was and his stats this year so far help back that up. He just isn't dominant for the money he got. I don't think we got much for him in trading but I sure as hell didn't want us to pay him what the Giants did. Remember the players on defense back in the day who were faces of the franchise and dominant? Burns definitely is no Peppers or Luke or anyone to that level and couldn't take over a game. He just wasn't as great as he thought he was in my opinion. We could use him of course but no way I would pay that kind of money for what he offers in his play.

Hes a 1 trick pony that got overpaid for that trick. The refusal of the rams offer will always sting ( man fitt was terrible) but he does his trick once every 2 games and disappears for the rest of the time. 

And he sucks at run d.

He is not worth what the giants paid but I wish we got more for him

Peppers had some poor showings or seasons sometimes too but was a lot stronger and able to break through double teams. Burns will only ever be a role player.

I remember some of those poor showings by Peppers but even in those times I don't feel like Brian Burns would be anywhere close to his level. Peppers was better than Burns in every way. I've never seen Burns even once show that he could take an entire game over and severely affect the outcome and for the money he wanted I sort of expect him to have that Peppers ability. I know our defense is weak now but I'm still glad he is gone and so happy we didn't pay him that monstrous contract he wanted.

Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year

I sure do miss the days of having guys like Cam, Luke, Peppers, Olsen, Steve Smith etc who were faces of the franchise and could dominant games. I hope we can soon find and develop future faces of the franchise like the past guys and find a strong identity with some game changers on defense.

Peppers did not disappear for the hall of fame ceremony. Lol, yeah, there is a huge difference.

About $3 mil/sack so far.

I don't even know that it was himself that thought he was so great. Fitterer basically handed over the keys to the kingdom by turning down a massive trade haul. How could he not ask for top 5 money when you turned down a package that could net you a franchise QB?

I don't expect much from him on that front. But I've been surprised before. Not going to talk trash because the Panthers could just as easily lay an egg and get trounced.
