You're wasting your time. The High and Mighty Self Righteous have spoken.

Tez would be my second off season move.
1. Fire Marv and entire coaching staff
2. Cut Burficts - ineffective, unreliable, injury prone, expensive
Not happening.

Burfict should be let go the first day it is the most cost-effective to do so.
And the next time he gets hurt, the trainers should just ignore him for a good bit for the way he acted yesterday towards the one trainer coming off the field.

Burfict has never quit on this team. In a couple years he might not be able to walk or think, but he's given us all he has.

That seem to be a problem around here. We seem to remember what a player ONCE was and not what they are now. After he took the chance at a cheap shot yesterday, I am ready to move on from him.

Yep. Guys like Burfict, Glenn, Kirkpatrick...all don't perform at the level that people think they do.

Burfict was a Pro Bowl LB in his prime. And probably the best the Bengals have ever had. Or at least during the Marvin era anyway.

Yes - At one point he was. Not now.
That's my point. Glenn was one of the best Tackles in the game...but he's been injured most of the past 3 seasons and isn't good anymore.
Kirkpatrick had about 1 good season and that was his contract year.
RE: Burfict - THE PISTONS - 12-25-2018
I think the biggest thing with Burfict is that even if he was healthy...he's not going to be able to play within the rules that the current NFL has.
So whether he's suspended, injured, concussed...it's unlikely that he'll be able to make it a full season. Better off just moving on with a guy who will be able to play.

I don’t think you’ll find one single person on this board that would argue Burfict is playing well now.
Glenn and Kirkpatrick are up and down.

The sheer number of concussions should really be the determining factor. In more ways than one, his brain has been through enough.
His Legacy? The Burfict Rule--you can't blast anybody any more. Force equals flag. You can take out every knee you see, but you can no longer rock someone.

You know it's bad when he can't squeeze in a game without being concussed anymore... Dude's got a young wife/ girlfriend whatever she is. He needs to think about his future, and hopefully he's been good with his money... If not, get a job. He's not an idiot by any means. I miss the old Burfict. For that couple of years run, he was my favorite Bengal.... But it's time.
