Patriots fans pretty happy on Butler Release

Hope he plays better here.

Hot commodity? For an unfocused corner that bites at every fake?

Thank God, an awful player !

He sucked last year, in training camp he was getting smoked by Barnes and Ross. In the 1st preseason game the 3rd string Jags were owning him. Yet there were still tons of people of this site who thought he was playing well. LOL !

Where are all the Butler Butt boys now ? Telling us how this is a bad move. Doubt we'll hear from them.

This one saddens me as I was so excited when the Pats got him. Major disappointment. We waited for Butler to "make a f*cking play, Darius" like Brady shouted to him from the sideline last season, but it never happened. Officially a bust for us.

I watched DB from day 1 at UConn and I'll tell you that the problems he had here, he had there. He struggled to make a play on the ball when he had to turn and run with the wr.

Per @josephperson, #Panthers claim former #Patriots CB Darius Butler.

1st team in the waiver claim order...

Their secondary sucks. Not sure how this will help.

Butler never regressed because he was clueless from Day 1.

I would love to see him be successful, The PI calls are pretty bad but maybe he can change with a different coaching staff. The Pats had a bad secondary last year and of course the fans are going to blame someone. Don''t forget Meriweather was bad which could of effected the play of Butler. Corners sometimes need help from the safety, if the safety sucks then its not going to help the CB.

Pats fans are retarded anyhow so I don't care what they think.

he sounds like their version of everette brown

Difference is, Everette Brown never had the tools or abilities to be a dominant player in any role in this defense (predominantly 4-3).

Butler has the tools and abilities, it seems to be a matter of confidence with him, which it often is with CBs. He's gonna do fine here.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
