Who to tag?

(01-27-2016, 04:35 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: I expect MLJ to get a contract similar to the one signed by Emmanuel Sanders with Denver (3 years, 15 million). Very similar production and situations.

Btw, I find it funny that some people question extending Eifert due to health issues, but no one is asking the same questions about MLJ, who has missed 21 games in 4 seasons. Does anyone regret extending Burfict, seeing how he's only missed 2 fewer games than Eifert in the same time frame? It's funny how Burfict is perceived as a warrior and Eifert - playing one of the most grueling positions in the NFL - is perceived as a "glass jaw". 

I'd like to point out I most certainly did question about Marvin Jones' injury history a couple times earlier in the thread.

That said, looking at Burfict vs Eifert, I guess it comes down to the fact that we've seen Burfict reach the the top level of play already so we know he's fully capable of doing so. We've seen Burfict play in 16 games twice already, Eifert has never done it.

Burfict played 82.9% of the defensive snaps his rookie year and then kicked it up to 95.9% (and 2nd team All-Pro) in his second year before getting hurt in his third year with only 19.3%.

Eifert was banged up his rookie year and played 59.5% of the offensive snaps. and followed it up with 0.8% in his lost second year, and then 71.1% in 2015 where he also missed time.

There's probably also the financial aspect of people's opinions on Eifert's future contract, when they take into account that Burfict is making 4yr/$19m ($6.9m guarnateed) and Eifert's new contract will probably cost in the 5yr/$44m range with probably somewhere around $20m guaranteed.


- - - - - -- - - - - - -

EDIT: I did some rough math and it came out to this. Keep in mind, if I am off by like 0.3% or whatnot, it happens. This was just some back of the napkin math.

Burfict has played roughly 60.2% of the defensive snaps in his career.
Eifert has played roughly 44.1% of the offensive snaps in his career.

A normal season has somewhere between 1060 and 1130 snaps on average for a defense or offense. So middle ground of 1095. 16.1% of 1095 would be a snap difference of roughly 176 snaps a year.

A game tends to have 55-80 snaps per game per side, middle ground of 68 snaps per game. Means the difference is roughly 2.6 games a year.

Not sure what that actually matters in terms of the conversation, or anything else, but there it is for information sake if anyone's interested/cares.
