Burfict Fails Drug Test
-
Good, that means he will definitely be there in the 7th!

Let's translate this to real world for ya. Guy fails not one (combine) but two (pro day workout) [make that job interviews] where he can't outrun some offensive or defensive linemen, has known anger management issues, and flunks your company's pre employment drug test. If you're the head of HR, and hire this guy to work for me- as the CEO- I'm going to fire YOU.

If I was a team with a bunch of positive influences and veteran presence on D, I would use a late round pick on him. Low risk High reward

I'm gonna look at what he did on the field and how he can be a difference maker for some team. As a team that is hurting for LBs and hard nosed ones at that. Why not. He is a late round pick, and if he proves he can stay in the offseason and if he stays out of trouble its a good pick. If he does get into trouble, drop him at the first sign of it. I mean if we're going to be getting the Larry Asante's, Cliften Gaethers, Carlton Mitchells, Eric Hagg(Still up in the air I do like him), of the world. Why not go to a guy that was probably high on the draft board early on in the year.
A lot of people would say that Tom Brady failed his combine/offseason stuff. What does that tell -- Most of it is a load of shit.

Burfict already has a "positive influence" - his agent- who's likely been telling him for months exactly how not to f**k up. Vontae is doing a stellar job of doing the exact opposite.
Question is- why even waste a pick on the guy? Burfict is clearly too dumb\arrogant to care. Did you miss his combine numbers sucked donkey dong on top of it?
I could see taking a chance on the guy if he had incredible measurables. Holy shit- a 4.9 40 at the combine. I'd bet some heavy money a couple of my 20 something nephews (6'6", 220) can do better than that. Maybe his next excuse will be "I was high". You going to hire someone who shows up for a job interview stoned?
This guy has nothing but trouble with a capital "T" written all over him. Go play for the Iowa Barnstormers, or in the CFL for a few years, PROVE you've cleaned up your act, and then we'll talk.
Burfict may well set a record- as biggest fall in history of a player in the draft- from potential first rounder to UFA.

Yeah because Agents are classy citizens...

Question is why even waste any 7th round pick on anyone? There's a reason they're there in the 7th right?

Yeah, until he comes out and says something like that, how about we lay off the acquisitions and stop with the hypotheticals.

"Yeah, until he comes out and says something like that, how about we lay off the acquisitions and stop with the hypotheticals."
What's hypothetical about 4.9? What's hypothetical about a failed drug test? Browns aren't taking this piece of crap- and that isn't a hypothetical.
-
Burfict should have pulled a George Costanza and done the exact opposite of everything he would normally have done.
I gotta say though I'm rooting for him, with everyone pointing their fingers at him saying "shame on you" it'd be a great story if he is successful in the NFL.
-
Al Davis would of traded into the top ten to draft him. I say Detroit or New England takes him.

sounds like your typical idiot thug.
thats what the 7 round is for.

I'm clearly talking about the fact that you stated "Maybe his next excuse will be "I was high". You going to hire someone who shows up for a job interview stoned?"
Smoke can stay in your body for like 3 months. It could have been a while since the last time he smoked, also I think if they take a hair sample it's something like 6 months. So that's the hypothetical I'm talking about nimrod.
-
facts: 3 months is 2 months too long. a follicle test produces results based on hair length. being that hair is dead cells, the impurities are not purged, rather, they remain in the cells indefinitely.
timelines aside, its irrelevant to this genius smoking up when he had proper warning to get clean.

Remember when Butch drafted the guy that was being investigated for a felony and eventually was convicted and never played a down in the NFL?
That was brilliant.

i love me some grass....spent more years high than sober. yet, even I can quit on demand when needed. i quit for 5 months during my latest job search, which was totally worth it, and a small price to pay for the greater good. afterall, hard to buy grass with no money. lol...
nevertheless, burfict has displayed a complete lack of self control....both on the field with penalties and off the field with the failed drug test and bombing his pro-day and combine.
this kid is not mentally prepared or even capable of succeeding at the pro-level, where demands are increased 10-fold over college. if the proposition of a multimillion dollar job can't motivate this kid, nothing will.

Jeremiah Pharms. Allegedly beat and shot a marijuana dealer and spent 27 months in prison. After being released, he played two seasons for the New York Dragons of the Arena Football League.
He also converted to Izzlaaaaaam in prison. Big surprise there.
