brooks1957 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hotep Ohio brethren - I come in peace. This may affect us both, but after Sunday's concussion - LB Vontaze Burfict may have to call it a career. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2812565-vontaze-burficts-latest-concussion-reportedly-could-be-career-threatening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I have been thinking this for the whole year. He keeps getting them. As much as I love him on the team, his health comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 He hasn't looked right. Probably best for him to move on to life after football where he'll be loved and do tons of charity work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Yeah his play has dropped significantly this year and leaves pretty much every game with either an injury or a concussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I hope he retires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Was kinda hoping he'd play Sunday knowing that this is his last hurrah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I don’t know for certain if this season is indicative of his ability as a player. He never got into game shape after coming off suspension, and was dinged up all year. I would welcome him back next season. But concussions isn’t something to take likely. He needs to do what’s best for him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 He's had multiple concussions, just this season, let alone the ones he had before and they ones we don't know about from college and HS. He's got his money, time to hang em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Bengal_Fl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 He's been done for a year or 2, he just doesn't know it yet. He hasn't been very good for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy only plays half seasons because he's hurt or suspended. And he's not good anymore. What is the point of a guy like that on the roster? It's hard enough to justify a spot for someone who plays 8 games and is actually good. He has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reason to believe his game will bounce back. The reason you see him as "not good anymore" is injury related. If he's healthy I would assume he regains his form.

I wouldn't bring back eifert for the same reason. They're supposed to be the building blocks of the team, but they're only available for half the season or less. Success is not sustainable that way. When they get hurt or suspended, it cripples the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
