The reason is obvious. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find a LB with Burficts skill set.
It is easy to find a guy you can "rely on" but you are going to be relying on him being average or above average instead of one of the best talents in the league.
What good is elite talent when he's on the bench for half of our games?
Just because Burficts replacement may not (okay, likely won't) be as great as him is no reason to settle for a guy who will only contribute for some of the season. Give me an above average LB who will play 90+% of the time over a guy who's constantly under a microscope (fairly and unfairly), is a concussion or two away from retirement and won't pull stupid crap several times over.
And no, it's not just me
