Popularity plummets as severely and unexpectedly as the temperature around here, and Bears tight end Trey Burton is feeling an early frost.
Public opinion on Burton nosedived after he missed the wild-card game against the Eagles in January. It dipped again when he was in and out of practices last month and didn’t play in the opener.
It seems that way, at least, but maybe it’s just because sportswriters put too much value on what gets discussed on Twitter.
Hopefully Burton doesn’t.
The hostility being hurled his way is ludicrous. Burton’s injuries have given way to criticism that he’s soft, he’s not that good and the Bears never should have wasted
$32 million on him.
