Burfict being a dirty player never made any sense to me because he was actually a very, very talented player. All that extra stuff wasn't necessary. He wasn't/isn't some mediocre tweener or marginal starter that needed an edge.

To be blunt, he just gave up last season and didn't really care.  Was out of shape, didn't tackle well, kept getting concussed, etc...
