Some Vernon Butler love..?

[Verge]

He was also double blocked almost every play, he balled out, and teams are focusing on him. It's the miracle we needed with Short down.

Vernon Butler is now tied for third in the NFL with his three forced fumbles. He had two today to go with his two sacks.

Seems to be a running theme with contract players with the Panthers. Ryan Delaire back in the day, I’ve always thought Butler had it in him though his play hasn’t always reflected it. I think if McCoy walks and depending on what Addison does youssee what you get him for.

In retrospect it would have been a good idea to pick up his 5th year option.

Good to see the man is coming alive

It also is a perfect example of how many players have been stars or POS because of how the coaches use and develop them.

how many busts have there been that would have been stars elsewhere?

I'll be very happy to eat a lot of crow if Vern keeps playing like this!

I told you guys that Butler has been better than what Short displayed prior to being hurt. Dontari Poe has taken over control and stabilized this Dline. I want McCoy back next year and Butler is playing well. We need to find a way to rid ourselves of the most overpaid player on this team in Short next year. 

Hurney kicked his salary down the road this year.  It would take like 20mil to cut Short next year.  Not happening.

According to Sporttrac a post June 1 cut saves 14 million in cap space next year.

3 sacks for 3 forced fumbles,his right hand is a ball sniper.

See how things play out.  Maybe the switch to 3-4 is just what the doctor ordered for him.
