Definitely agree with him being better than what we have out there now. I just see a lot of posts about Burfict being a game changer once he comes back, and I just think he's an upgrade more than anything else. I think there is also value in not having players that will draw more attention on your ENTIRE defense from the refs. Burfict draws a quick trigger on the entire defense because of his style.
What? Are our current outside linebackers 4th tier to you? O that guy is like the 96th best in the league to me? Come on.

99% of the time you make no sense. Then when you do make some meaningful post, you tag on an absurd comment. How does his family's love life have anything to do with the football team's unofficial forum? And that is rhetorical, I wish this goes no further.

Will he fit Austin's defense? Ofcourse he will. He causes fumbles, INTs and Defensive TDs all the time!
+1. We needed Burfict. We play in the AFC North. Our players got injured from Pittsburgh hits WAY too often. We were getting beat up. Then Burfict stepped in and we had that defense that hit and hit. And now everyone knows Cincinnati's defense and Burfict is a water cooler topic. Behind the scenes Zim was amazing, but no one talks about specific coaches unless it's your team. Burfict was the face of change for the Bengals* and an absolute steal as a UDFA.
*I have never lived in Ohio. And I have always been a Bengals fan. It is nice that people actually know our players and actually talk about the Bengals. I constantly hear... Oh he is this and that. But people don't understand, no one cared before he got in there and smacked a few ppl.
