Guess what? I don't give a poo.

Did you notice in the 2nd article that he did the same with Captain? I didn't know that before.

Good find.

Maybe we're collecting his projects so he can come back and play with them.

You see that highlight reel? He didn't drop any passes - at CB or WR . . .

Cool. Let's ignore opinions of guys who actually saw him play for the past 2 years and focus on him being drafted in the 2nd round.

Good pick up, but man I would rather have back Richard Marshall.

Tony Brown, Jovan Haye, and several others were humungous busts for us as well, so wtf is your point?

That puts things in perspective. I guess we'll have to just wait and see

Butler represented one of the last players of the Patriots' opportunistic defense of the 2006-2008 years and wasn't the right piece for the current defense. His athletic skill set never matched the physicality required of the new-image defense that Bill Belichick has been crafting since the middle of the 2009 season. Butler should find himself on another team very quickly; unfortunately, it won't be the Patriots.

I thought we'd opt the more physical type as well but definitely to big a talent to just pass on given our situation.

Love what he's done with Hootie and the Blowfish . . .
