I think the problem with Butler is that other non high draft pick guys are out playing him. 

The narrative that Butler can be "useful" despite his high draft pick status is a bit asinine. 

 

Especially given that he has had some really good talent around him. Star wasn't a stat sheet guy but he was always there, why? Because of the double teams he demanded and the pressure he applied which in turn made other players better and flourish. I don't see that with Butler. I've never seen him command anything. 

Also at the time of I remember correctly. Gman made the pick basses on the fact that KK was still not signed. Maybe a contingency plan?

Good stuff but Vincent looks like a NYU film school dropout who leaves comments on pornhub criticizing the lighting of a porn set.

He’s clearly a massive bust but it never made sense at all to even consider cutting him. He’s okay depth and you won’t find anything better than him for less than what we’re paying him. We’d save about $1M by cutting him with $1M dead cap hit. Just doesn’t make sense. And his roster spot in a depth was role was pretty much secured in early August when he got a $0.5M roster bonus. Right call not to pick up his 5th year option but also right call to keep him around this year and not rule out past this year too depending on price and if he progresses at all or fits better in a 3-4.

Ppl want things to be oversimplified.

Butler was drafted as insurance should KK not stay with the team. Due to his size and strength, the team has more often than not asked him to play the NT role.

I think that the 3-4 DE and 4-3 UT are the best fits for him, but if given the choice between him and Obada... idk... tough call

Great write-up! I appreciate the read.

     I don’t think Butler’s agent could spin his efforts (or lack there of), any better than the author. 

  My first question would be how is he holding his spot in double teams when his main move is to turn his back and get driven to the other side of the line? It happens with single blocks as well. He was driven to the opposite A gap by a backup RT on a play he was given credit for causing the RB to bounce outside. He was long gone by then and didn’t force anything. 

  No burst ,ever. Questionable effort at best. Has no clue how to use his hands and no desire to learn. Reaching for plays where most on here could have done the same thing  as an accomplishment. That should tell you something. 

  Between this and wanting to keep Matt Kalil, I’m not buying what is trying to be sold here.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
