Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

There always seemed to be a excuse for Burns and the lack of sacks

At this point there isn’t an excuse left. We’ve seen him in a 4-3. We’ve seen him in a 3-4. We’ve seen him partnered up with a better pure pass rusher (Reddick). We’ve now seen him on a NY team with a very solid front 4. 

Burns is who he is. Would be the greatest touch football edge rusher in history if there was such a league but there’s not. He makes the odd splash and outside of that he’s a bit of a liability. 

The most annoying part of passing on the Rams trade is that they ended up with a guy in Jared Verse who is a better version of Brian Burns with a pick that should’ve been ours

Still boggles my mind that people couldn’t see how good that deal was. We laid out all the picks and cap savings and still some people said they’d rather have Burns. SMH.

Burns

or

Hunt + Lewis for the same cost/cap, Avila (G Rams took, probably don't sign Lewis), Verse (DE Rams took) and of course their 2025 1st (tankathon has Shavon Revel Jr CB).

Still amazes me how much people overrate our players. Franchise changing trade we declined to get a complimentary RB for Chuba.

Burns is just too light and doesn’t have the muscle and aggression. He likes the agility aspect of pass rushing but can’t take getting punched in the face and taken head on.

Peppers faced some similar criticism at times. But he blocked FGs, consistently got sacks, could play spy, LB, and get interceptions.

Kudos to Morgan? I’d give him kudos if he didn’t agree with Fitterer to not trade him to the Rams. He made lemonade from the lemon, but we were offered filet mignon.

You don't know what they did or did not agree on.

Everyone fell in love with Brian Burns that first time he got a sack for us and dropped into the Spider-man pose, myself included.

Then as the seasons went by, almost all of us realized that Brian was understrength and could be handled if you could get a square hit on him right off the mark, or could re-direct him around the QB. He was fast and bendy but that was about it. 

Truthfully, he would have been an excellent situational pass rusher but he really didn't have the oomph to be an Edge1 or full-time Edge2. 

But that Spider-man pose... that made him a lot of fans, including the GMs office at NYG.

Good luck to him, but we shoulda sent him to the Rams a year earlier.

He is genuinely much closer to being a $10 mil pass rusher than a $30 mil pass rusher.

Because one dimensional. 

edit: that Spiderman, he was talking that poo when we picked him I thought it was bullshit then. But I gave comic books up with puberty, basically.

Yeah and although he is still a top 15 pass rusher, he just isn't going to ever be a truly elite guy.

    • A Quarterback in this mold is and was always going to take a long time to develop. I think he still has quite a bit to go.  We didn't draft him for his foot speed or arm talent. We drafted him to be the leader and commander of the offensive unit. and he is growing in that capacity on a weekly basis. Being smart and being able to make the correct adjustment and get your team into the right play and being able to get the ball to the right spot is the most important thing an NFL quarterback can do. You can scheme around it, you can simplify, you can try everything, but those skills make a dominant NFL quarterback more than anything else. More than anything else, that's what the Montana's, Brady's, and Manning's do. And those are the ones you want. What we are seeing with Mahomes is a guy that has the brains, unique arm talent, and above average foot speed. He may go down as the greatest. I don't see that in Bryce's future.  He's got a long way to go, but he's showing he's capable of being that game managing, offense controlling guy. While that type of quarterback is the most dominant, it also takes the longest to get them game ready, and if they don't ever get to a dominant level, they often don't pan out. So it is a risk. 
    • This is fake news as Trump would say. Nobody’s comparing seasons the nfl pundits ESPN first take si.com and other outlets are stating what we’re saying in this thread it looks like he’s regressing. Now to address your statement their leading their division ummm have you seen their defensive rankings compared to ours. You’re cherry picking which you can’t do with me I’m not a poster who’s here to argue I like thoughtful in depth convos. They have the 4th ranked defense put that in Carolina don’t you think we’d probably lead our division this year realistically. With the offense you’ve seen the last four weeks being average let’s just say with a 4th ranked defense how’d do you think we’d look or how many more wins would we have? You can’t say oh but they still lead their division knock it off it’s bc they have a terrible division and an elite defense. CJ is dealing with issues Bryce dealt with bad Oline and he has weapons but they’ve missed time and when out he’s looked below average having multiple 2pick games, the man’s had a 4 sack game followed by a 8 I repeat 8 sack game that’s a bad Oline leaving him to regress so Panther Bryce fans can’t pipe down we’re just stating facts bc yes they’re winning with a elite defense give a little more context to your statements it Matters!
