    Let's say Shazier doesn't come back which may very well happen.

    Would you welcome Vontaz Burfict as a Steelers MLB? Sure, it wouldn't happen this season due to contracts but if he proves to clean up his act he could be a huge difference maker in 2-3 years (Ben's time frame).

    Think about it before yinz torch me.

    I've watch this guy since day 1 while living in Cincy. He's got game.

    He signed a contract extension recently with the Bengals, wouldn't want that piece of crap on the Steelers anyway.

    OK. I'm getting torched. LOL.

    Have any of you seen the ground that he can cover? Here's a clue. It's way more than Ryan before his injury.

    No way. He is a good player but he cant cover like shazier. Few can. He is a run stuffer for sure

    To answer your original question. No way. He is in the perfect place. He isnt what the steelers value. His whole attitude sucks. I mean pitt has had some headcases but this guy cant get out of his own way

    Not a chance. Too much baggage and too much instability.

    Since I am pissed with James going to NE, I'd be a hypocrite to accept Burfict with open arms.

    Million dollar talent...five cent brain. Just not worth the risk. The team has enough problem children as it is.

    If he cleans up his act is like saying if Charles Manson shows regret.

    Hell of a football player, broken mind.

    Good grief, no. Just the likelihood of him changing his ways.
