I don't like him, and hope he doesn't make the team.  Like you said, he whiffs on blocks, he fumbles way too often, and isn't that great of a runner.  

Well come to terms with it now.

Am I the only one concerned about Tolbert's fumbling problems? He can't block well, he gets stuffed at the 1 yard line, now if fumbles are going to be a problem of his then what's the point of keeping him?

He's had 1 fumble in 4 years as a Panther.

While I'm not asking that, I do think it's worth pointing out that although interior dline is considered one of the bigger adjustment positions from college to pros, both KK and Star flashed early and often as rookies from OTAs to rookie camps, mini-camps, and TC.

I haven't heard or read any reports of any positive impressions regarding Butler yet.  Yes, it's only a couple of days into camp, so he's got a lot of time to show something, but I've got the feeling that he isn't going to be much leverage in the KK negotiations.

Agree with your point about transition but there were plenty of positive impressions during minicamp and OTAs. The pads are what matter and it's silly to jump to conclusions at this point in time.

Did you not watch the Super Bowl? He fumbled twice. Now he fumbles again. That's 3 times the last 2 times with pads.

My apologies, I do now recall hearing that he looked really quick in one of the offseason camps, but it was clear it wasn't the same as KK's immediate impact.  I just would like to see some positives, regardless of the day of TC, if our first round pick is going up against a 3rd stringer in any 1v1 drill.

It's the first padded practice. You can't really tell how well dudes in the trenches play until the pads come on, and this is just the first of many. He's a rookie going up against vets who know what to expect. I'm not worried in the slightest yet.

I wouldnt tally fumbles in practice along with 2 from a game last season to establish a trend, but from reading your post, I can tell you this much...

It is crazy how much of that game i completely blocked out of my mind lol.

for what it's worth star was getting ragdolled early in his first camp too.  it's still a pro vs. a rookie.

What did you expect from unpadded practices that are glorified 7-on-7 drills?

You're comparing Butler to Star and KK. When Star and KK came into the league we had just experienced a DT rotation of Terrell McClain, Sione Fua, Nate Chandler, Frank Kearse and our best was DT Dwan Edwards.

Also sounds like an stretch to say KK was "flashing early and often" or had an immediate impact if he started 0 games while Colin Cole started 13. Star was initially the more NFL ready player

Your Kung Fu is weak college boy.

I'm talking about the the impression he was making in practices initially.  Maybe the years are blurring together now, but i'm almost certain we were hearing a lot about his explosiveness and ability to shed blocks fairly early on, and that carried into his in-game appearances his rookie season as well, he was just biding his time behind Cole.

Lol, no i'm not.  I was mainly referencing Jeremy's tweet saying Butler was stonewalled by a 3rd string guard.  That's fairly cut and dry.  I know rookie interior lineman have a wall to climb, but i expect it more in the full scrimmages, not 1v1 drills.  I haven't made any final assessments of his ultimate projection as a pro, lol.  I simply said, in comparing what i've heard and read about him this offseason, I wouldn't count of him being much leverage in the KK negotations.
