Really the first move I don't agree with so far...  he should've made the 53 over Manhertz.

Not with Ron and his vet player loyalty.

Butler tested really well athletically for how big he is but he lacks fire. Looks like he’s just going through the motions collecting a paycheck. It’s a shame. 

His on field play vs. inferior college competition said excellent athlete. His actual workouts said JAG. Turns out he was just a big fish in a small pond.

How many more cuts do we have to go?

What did you see from him that makes you think this?

Just looked more athletic, fluid, seemed to be more than capable as a blocker, and appeared to have good hands and YAC-ability.  I've not really seen any one thing that Manhertz excels at in his time here.

I think Manhertz is seen as a better blocking TE.  Ian is more a more balanced player, he's clearly #2.

[Mr. Scot]

Preseason is a really, REALLY imperfect tool for evaluation.

There are always guys who stand out against second and third stringers who aren't really good enough to play against first stringers.

There are also frequently guys who suffer because they're playing alongside third and fourth stringers but would look better if they were surrounded by better talent.

There are guys who make big splash plays in preseason but disappear in the regular season, and guys who are steady but unspectacular and therefore don't get noticed.

And there's no easy way to differentiate between any of these. You basically just have to watch and learn.

So bottom line, don't fall into the trap of giving too much credence to preseason highlights... or lowlights for that matter. You've got to be able to put it all in context.

Yeah, I know Manhertz is regarded as a good blocker, but he just seems to get beat a lot as a blocker for that to be his strength.

Thanks for illustrating my point, Mr. IThinkIAm12.

 

Really!. Nice comment coming from someone that most likely hasn't been in this world long enough and the comment you made sounds just like what kid would say trying to make yourself look like an adult.

[Mr. Scot]

I sometimes think the Panthers should put a moratorium on taking guys named Sione.

Honestly, Fua met my lifetime quota.

I guess Big Vern is ready to go out and get something to eat. Then hit the club up later on tonight. Him and his peeps will celebrate another year of getting them HUGE FREE checks.
