Bye Bye Burfict

I'm sick of our fans making excuses for him, I'm sick of the team having to rely on him, I'm sick of the Burfict enigma entirely. What good is enabling a guy with an inability to learn from past mistakes? Talent be damned, the man cannot control himself.

Simply put, Burfict cannot be relied on. Therefore, he's useless. And sitting around waiting for Burfict to come back from suspension/injury so our defense can "add some fire" and "get better" is a tired narrative. We look shoddy on defense with and without Burfict, he's not the difference maker many claim him to be. Yes, he is incredibly talented. But we need to move on. Draft, trade, whatever. Let Burfict go and bring someone else in.

 

You honestly think that the Bengals would have even been remotely interested in giving up a cheap but good LB, a high draft pick, AND paying up for the contract that Mack wanted?

If you really believed that, I don't know what to say.
