Im with you bud. Burfict in the 5th would be outstanding. People forget we are losing Connor. Depth at MLB is key and there is no one that will be available then that will come close to his upside.

I mean check out this. He can be a beast.

Didnt see it posted if it was, oh well. I've always supported Vontaze Burict even though most on this forum dislike him. Very good article about him.

Didn't this guy BOMB in his interviews, too? 6th round...sure.

I think we will consider better options although the potential of Burfict is CERTAINLY intriguing. By all accounts, he quit on his team, has attitude problems, is lazy, and has no drive to be great. As anyone can see in the videos, he has outstanding potential and a nose for the football but how much would you really be willing to pay this guy? Of course, someone did draft Maurice Clarett....

sounds like u are judging him based on what other people have said and not by his play. Cam was suppose to be a bust and had all kinds of issues and well, lots of people ate crow when cam lit it up. I rather judge a player on how well they play, and Burficts is a beast on the field.

Can't use the Cam was good so everyone else who has questionable marks could be good as well argument for everyone. Cam's detractors got magnified due to the fact that he was a) On a national championship team b.) One a heisman c) Went to Auburn d) Was a black QB. However though interviews and investigation most proved to baseless or outright lies.

On the other had Burict a) Performance dropped dramatically from prior season b.)Weigh increased dramatically from prior season (not in a good way) c) Gave terrible interviews d) Had a terrible combine e)Blamed everything on his coaches. Not even going to go into the penalty stuff because I like aggressive linebackers. However any argument that counters that shows a lack of discipline can't be discounted. That's a lot of damn negatives tbh.

I only watched 1 ASU game this year so I'm going to have to take your word on the beast part. Numbers don't always reflect actual performance/impact. But using Janoris Jenkins as example if you can play people will gloss over a lot of negatives and the fact that in 2010 he as probably considered a 1st/2nd round pick to possibly undrafted this year speaks volumes about his performance.

      Ive posted conspiracy theories about us being interested in him for months.  Hes an elite physical specimen with elite intangibles.  Hes got to show an improvement passing and reading defenses this season though.  If he does he will be the #1 pick.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      Narratives change real fast because of how fast information travels these days and the need to generate clicks.  People said the Panthers were a great place for him to land but just because it was said doesn't make it true.  Was that true?  Did we have an All-star staff?  Did we have a good front office?  Did we surround him with talent?  Could the defense carry the load?  You have to squirt really hard to think it was just a bad rookie QB stinking it up all by his lonesome.   Saying the worst football teams have bad QB's is just low handing fruit.  It's the easiest thing to grab onto.  It could also be teams that have a bad coaching staff or no talent to surrounding the QB or a horrible front office.  It can also be a horrible QB.  To this day I think that T-Law going to the Jags might have ruined his career because of Urban Meyer.  I don't agree at all that Bryce's only good game of his entire career was against the Falcons.   Week 16 against the Cards (which is one of those last 3 games we mentioned) 36-30 OT win.  Threw 3 TD's Week 12 against KC 30-27 loss but Bryce went 24 of 35 for 263 yrds.  It was Mahomes magic that got us. Week 10 against the Bucs 298 yards in a close game with a passing TD and a running TD. We even had those flashes of what he could be in 2023 against the Packers, the 95-yard game winning drive vs the Falcons, or how he outplayed CJ Shroud with the win over the Texans. Especially in this respect you're not being truthful.
