The Vontaze Burfict Rule

Thread parody fail. At least link an article that mentions Burfict somewhere instead of exclusively talking about how Norman/Beckham inspired this rule. Maybe this could be the Antonio Brown rule, actually.
He does have a penchant for Personal Fouls - especially for a WR.

Brown didn't have the ball, and Burfict was going for the big hit regardless of brown or the ball. Look, what he did was stupid and in my opinion could have been avoided, but he was in no way going for the big hit. Vontaze could have obliterated brown on that play as opposed to the sideswipe that occurred. AB got off easy on that sequence of events in contrast to what could have happened to him.

You can't really say the new ejection rule is about Burfict when he only had 3 ur penalties last year (same as Cody Wallace) and wouldn't have been ejected from any games last year even had this new rule been in place. What this new rule is, is a weak attempt by the NFL to address all the violence and BS from last year's Steelers/Bengals games.
The rule really won't help. The only way to get these games under conrol is if Marvin and Tomlin reign in their teams. They're saying they will, but I have my doubts. They had an opportunity to do that in the playoffs and it only got worse. A new officiating crew wouldn't hurt either. Ryan Shazier definitely made a "new" rule though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

He's good for at least 20-30 free yards of offense every game not to mention his ability to make these boners at the best (worst for you Bengal fans) possible times. We wish the Steelers could play against him every week.Maybe you do. The "skill" position players on your team sure don't. I don't know what to make of your appreciation of his boner. 
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Why, that means this thread is utterly irrelevant and makes OP look like a baby back *****.
