Starting to make some plays and showing up on game day. He is improving slowly but surely. Maybe not the bust that some have claimed. Give him some time and keep him healthy and they may make a decent player out of him afterall.

More than anything I think we'd rather have HH still....Olsen + him would make the offense hard to stop and give another big target....our defense other than the S play has been fine in most of the games. I don't think most people actually had a problem with him as much as it's a luxury pick to take a 1st round flat out backup on this team.

He's also a monster on FGs. He's always in the area of getting a block. Mark my words guy is going to come up with a huge block later this year. 

Yeah, he's a natural at it. I believe he already has two in the limited time he has played. Probably would have had one yesterday if the kick wasn't shanked.

I can't disagree.  Hopefully he will continue to improve.

He definitely effected the Vikings kicker yesterday. I'm pretty sure he got his hands on the ball but there were no good camera angles to show it.

He didn’t on one angle. He would have though, but it was hooked so bad it went to the left of his hand in that short of a distance. Absolutely was not getting there even if straight. 

I disagree every angle was fuged so you can't say for sure.

They were but I recall one from the right side they showed really quick and didn’t replay it. You could see it hook left of his hand. I remember because I was interested to see if he got it since I actually like Butler. He signed some balls for my kids in his rookie training camp. Big man. 

Maybe when the all 22 comes out it will show exactly what happened.

Another big target? Like KB?

Anyway, I think we have to remember that Butler was almost out for the year in preseason. I’m glad we have him because we have a 4 man DT rotation that no one else in the playoffs has and they will be pretty fresh. Look at what Short did in the second half. I felt like I saw Butler and Love on running downs and then Star and Short on passing downs. That’s not a luxury IMHO, that’s an advantage.

I don’t think Henry is enough of a difference over Dickson (no one guessed Olsen would be hurt so long this year) that I’d rather not have the best all game (not just starting) DL in the playoffs. Pressure is how we beat Minnesota and it’s how a team like the Giants beat a juggernaut.  

Henry is light years ahead of Dickson in blocking and contributing to his offense. TEs are usually big.  Henry should have been the pick!  Butler was a luxury pick pure and simple, and our rotation would have survived successfully without him.

He's a damned solid DT with even more potential for future improvement, much to the chagrine of the haters.

Maybe we can get Mark Andrews from OU in the first round next year.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
