Not saying Burfict is reliable, but that comparison doesn't even come close

Are you sure about that?

The past four years, Burfict has played in 36 of 64 games. That means he was available for 56% of the games. He will be missing the first four games of next year, which will put his availability as 52%. Eifert has been available for 49% of the games.

That does come close, doesn't it? My whole point was just that Eifert seems to get killed for his lack of availability (he lost almost a entire season to an injury in the Pro Bowl) but Burfict's lack of availability seems to get a pass. I will say this, the Bengals need Burfict much more than they need Eifert.
