The best of Burfict behind him?

[fredtoast]

Here is my theory.

Even though a lot more athletes are coming back from microfracture surgery it still appears to shorten the careers of players who go through the procedure. So maybe Burfict is just getting suspended a few games each year in order to extend his career. If he takes off 3 or 4 games every year he may be able to play a couple of years longer.
