49.7 or #72 LB.
Wow. He grades slightly lower than Evans.
Nickerson grades out at 45.1 or #74 LB, so there is one LB ranked in between them.
What a stunning turn for Burfict. A rating in the 50's is bad relative to peers...but to even sniff the 40's is terrible.
And, he just signed an extension that averages like $10-11 million a year.
I looked and it appears Vigil's grade declined after this past game. IF memory serves, he was around 70 going into the game and he's at 64.6 now or the #39 LB.
I don't know how he lost his ability to tackle and to go from my favorite Linebacker to just a bad one.
Sad stuff, even more reason to move on from Haslett and all the Defensive coaches. Sunset i think must be
correct though and Burfict has been dealing with a lingering injury this year. Players don't just lose their
instincts like this, atleast i have never seen it.
