Regardless of how anyone here sees what he is doing, it ONLY matters how the guys in the suits and ties see it!!!! Everyone knows, including Burfict, that he has a red bulls eye on his back, and he, himself, said he wasn't going high anymore, and that he wasn't going to anymore BS.
He can play with the same intensity and be the enforcer just like his buddy (Kuechly) does on the Panthers, minus all the BS.
The NFL is going to make an example out of him each and every time.
I don't know that he has the maturity and self discipline to walk that fine line between intense and dirty play. Based on what I have read, he was pretty immature at Arizona. Then there was the absolute debacle of a combine. You would like to think that his time in the league, his time around professionals, has caused him to reevaluate some things, but maybe not.
Perhaps I am remembering wrong, but he seemed hyper focused his first couple years here. Maybe the big contract caused him to lose that focus and slip back into old ways.
