Why is rex burkhead on this team

[WeezyFbaby]

Is this guys 4 games per season really worth a roster spot? The guys softer than feathers

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Because he's good

 

[SammyBlueCat]

He is good...

* When * he plays.

for the playoffs

Yes he is too fragile for a running back, but all will be forgiven if he comes up huge like he usually does in big games. Maybe we will finally see Harris.

He does get hurt pretty often, but provides value when he plays. See last year’s Super Bowl among many other games. It’s always a balance for the team to figure out whether or not his time injured is worth his production. So far it has been.

No one complained about gronk or Edelman or hightower or maybe the did... Then you have Cannon.. such is life in the NFL with injuries... Appreciate Brady being there every week

 

[Kontradiction]

IRex is a good option as a receiver when he’s actually healthy. Very, very brittle since coming here, though.

 

[FCB02062]

Ummmmm, he was pretty important last January and February

 

[sieglo]

Made of glass!

 

[BelichickFan]

Next year, $1M dead money, $3M savings if he's gone.

 

[Patstastic]

He's made of glass. I agree. But he's darn good when he does play.

He made a catch on the SB winning TD drive.

Doesn’t matter if the guy can’t get on the field. It’s enough already.

[Ochmed Jones]

He is keeping Harris from playing.

 

[Jangles]

Why would you make this thread when Sony Michel is wasting a roster spot?

 

[Zuma]

Rex is good when he plays...he just gets injured to much. If he toughs it out in the post season like last year and produces the same..he's worth it IMO. I'd like to see him lined up as a WR 90% of the time during the regular season...if he is not already. IMO that may help keep him healthier...and he is damn good there.

 

[Simpelton]

You're basically complaining that a guy who is a situational depth back isn't on the field all the time.

I mean... duh? He has a knack for being able to bring fresh legs late in the game. That's valuable depth.

 

[Uptown]

Because BB didn’t cut him.
