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.

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.

I'm sooooo convinced now. :rolleyes:

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

[jramsey4]

He's slipped to the 5th round? damn

According to NFLdraftscout.com he is even lower, 6th-7th, but that seems unlikely.

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.

burfict would fit in the carolina scheme perfectly

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.

Burfict is a Bum???...And they made a song about it???

where's the rap?

[Herbert The Love Bug]

If the staff can work with him to get him in shape, he will be so much faster and more explosive than the combine show. Plus Ron Rivera, a no nonsense guy, who played LB and TD and Beason, and I think they can really work with him. May be a project, but could be a steal in the late rounds.
