Butler and Bradberry are 3rd year players. They have to show something

debatable. Gamble closed out his career with some really strong seasons.

Not like you have to have the personality of a CB to be a good CB, high level CB. Xavier Rhodes and Nnamdi Asomugha both come to mind.

Butler will show up for 2 sacks and have people clamoring about what great depth he is with no realization that he’s a first round bust

@Rags @Pup McBarky You guys might be right that and personality doesn't make a great shutdown CB. I would just like to say a lot more CBs have that dog mindset than not. Also Xavier Rhodes and Nnamdi both are big talkers and have huge egos.

I’m surprised exclusive content like this isn’t relegated to All-Pro.

Honestly,  that is a perfect comparison. Players solid,  not spectacular and in this NFL Gamble would be a good #2 CB

Sure, Tillman has three FF and two interceptions which likely swayed the decision, but Gamble's stat is far more impressive: QB's have a 45.8 QB rating when throwing against him. According to Football Outsiders he also ranked 6th in the NFC in success rate only allowing receivers to get a catch 37% of the time, along with extremely low target, YAC and yards allowed numbers; Charles Tillman didn't even make the list.

Bradberry did good vs Adam Thielen. He's weird, like hot n cold for certain games.

Don't you just love people who put down/diss good players in an attempt to back their bs opinion? 

Thank God the huddle has you to do that!

Thank God we have you to bring a definitive end to a players career before you know anything.

Before I know anything? Well, clearly at the very least I know how to use a computer

Year 3 is when most players coming to their own. So what the Opie says really goes without saying.

Bradberry is a 2nd round pick and a starter in the NFL.  I don’t think he is elite but I do think he is capable and solid. Does he have to show something?  IDK.  I think this time next year he is still a solid player.  

 

Butler is a question mark that was playing in the shadows of KK and Star.  Now he is playing in the shadow of KK and Poe. 

 

Bust?  No.  Just a luxury pick at the time that has paid off as much as we’d hoped.

Tepper should fire the guy that made that dec...

Oh, nevermind.
