Burns was awesome as a reliever, but pretty bad in a starting role. If he wants to start, that would have worried me a little.

If he's scared of competition he can just say that. I'm using this statement to cope

This comment honestly makes me feel a lot better and put things into perspective. Our recency bias makes us think how awesome burns was when he really wasn’t #notmad

Remember this - CJJ has a ‘mental mold’ he wants each player to conform to; specifically, must be able to put the goals of the team before individual achievements. He’s worked 2+ yrs on the foundation for this ‘culture’ and he’s not going to break that model for anyone.

He highlighted that mantra again this am on OTB when talking about building 2024’s roster. I’ve said from the beginning Burns’ departure from UTKnox and his reasoning justifying leaving did not fit CJJ’s team character. Wish the kid well but I’m glad he’s not here.
