He looked a little rusty from the layoff in the first week back, which was understandable. I thought he looked fine after that. I think people saw the initial rust and his weight and just kinda ran with this narrative.

Other than the first game or 2, it's a stretch to say his weight was any kind of major factor with him. He was same old Burfict with the same impact, tackles and occasional big play that we've always seen. I didn't see him out there huffing and looking for the oxygen mask, either. 

Fair enough to disagree, but he missed 1st 4 games. Then came back and played 2/3rds of his normal snaps in game 5 and 6. Our point was he was more than rusty and the snap count proves it.

So based on this at a minimum he was not the same Burfict for 6 of our 16 games (4 missed and 2 not ready 100%)
