We need a real leader. When Burfict faced adversity this off-season after the WC meltdown he did not respond like a leader he showed up to work out of shape after getting in Twitter fights during the off-season. I would keep him around and give him a chance because we all know how good he can be but we can't go into next season relying on Burfict to help turnaround the defense. It's too much of a chance the leash needs to get tighter.
Now there's a phrase I though I'd never see when discussing the likes of Burfict lol.
We will see about Burfict, but I still think he can become a great leader and a true cornerstone of this team for years to come.
