But he's an impact player/tone setter and you pretty much have to have those on your team. And like I said, if he gets better at it, it shows me he does truly care about what's best for him and the team.
The safety thing is something I agree with but the way they go about it is laughable. They have zero consistency for said rules and they don't enforce them on every player. So I am jaded with them enforcing player safety, but only when it fits their special, ever changing criteria.
Burfict will NEVER shed his dirty player reputation. He could 100% clean up his act and he's going to get called for more personal fouls and suspended. The guys are moving too fast and the game happens too fast. He's going to collide with a player wrong and get suspended.
It's just a matter of when he's out of the league with a year suspension...then the next one they'll ban him for life.
