burnett a bust?

actually i started a thread similar to the one i just started and got very similar responses. everyone laughing and saying "no way" pretty much. for every al johnson theres a jacob rogers. im not going out on the limb and calling burnett a bust im simply asking what is he doing and why can't he get any playing time? is he just not that good of a lb or is he still hurt with a nagging injury?

Is this short attention span theater? Have you not read that he's hurt? Well of course you have. What's he been doing? Maybe rehabbing? And why can't he get any playing time? Gee these are tough questions.

You're not calling Burnett a bust....but you're asking if he is? ***? Who the hell can tell you something like that after 2 games in his rookie year? Jacob Rogers? Well let's give it at least a full year before we try and make that comparison :rolleyes:

you guys need to wake up.. everyone was laughing when i claimed jacob rogers was a bust too. look what happened there. in the nfl you dont have years and years to sit around with potential. funny thing is you guys probably still dont consider jacob rogers a bust. sorry to bring reality into everyones warped brains but its a "what are you doing for me now?" league. some of these players think they can come into the league and sit around on IR and miss valuable playing time all the while still collect a check. well not with BP on board..


Can he at least have games and games? jeez

You cannot be serious about this.

Or, maybe you wanted a little attention. Hope you feel better now. ;)

Attention is what he wanted....

Do the math... 10 rookies are "starting" for their teams. And Burnett's been INJURED!! He may end up being a bust, but there's no way you can say that right now.

Great post.

Fujita's skills are best suited for OLB. He's gonna stay there. Burnett won't be starting at OLB unless an injury (or two ) occurs. Parcells already said he might move Burnett to ILB anyway.

By the way, Fujita is bigger and faster then Burnett.

Fugita is not faster than Burnett

he might be faster the day of Butnett's knee surgery, otherwise no

Fujita 6-5 250 Ran a 4.59 with a 42 Inch VJ.
He's a beast.

your asking us if he is a bust, and what is he doing now? I guess you missed the part about him having KNEE SURGERY before the SD game and he's been rehabbing since. If he isnt active for this game, he should be next week.

MODS, guys like this are really making this place unenjoyable, if thats a word. People get banned for less than this, can we do something about it?

He's a major busto! Don't try hiding the fact with your fancy-pants analysis. ;)
 
Odell Thurman is a stud for Cinci - I would rather have had him than Burnett but he's off the board by the time we were up.
 
you don't enjoy reading my threads, simply don't open them. i'm not asking for attention, i want opinions and insight. peplaw, that was a good post and it did set things more into perspective. lets all take a deep breath and hope that burnett turns out ok, the guy just hasnt done much good or bad yet. maybe he's been overshadowed by demarcus ware and marcus spears too much. he just seems kinda "busty" if thats a word.

Chill a little man. I don't think you can find a subject that everyone on the forum will clap and genuflect in agreement.
 
not only that i don't have the time in my life to sit around and rack up 10,000 posts to make buddies on here.

:cry:

Now I feel so bad.

once again, PLEASE LET HIM HEAL FROM KNEE SURGERY before you even have an ounce of doubt about him being a bust.
