Last time I checked, none of those guys are Patriots. He didn't say that Burgess has been as good as anyone they've had since he's coached here. He was talking in a slightly more immediate context...
This is what he says:
Derrick really plays consistently on everything and he's done an excellent job in the running game for us – probably as good as we've had as a run player and a pass rusher.
Note that he says "as good as we've had..."
That's past tense. But he doesn't elaborate if he means this year or in all of the years he's been here in NE.
BB says some funny stuff and I'm not one of those "well if BB says this, then it must be true" fanboys. Quite the opposite.
This is similar to BB saying Bruschi's the best LB he's ever coached.
