Personally, I loved the fire and intensity from Butler on this play. If we had more guys playing with type of emotion, maybe we wouldn’t get rag dolled by some of the worst teams in the league. 
 

seeing Big Vern just causally shoot some drunken fan the bird while he was being escorted off the field was incredible. It was like a no look pass from John Stockton. It’s how I’ll choose to remember this season - ending on a high note. 

I laughed out loud 

[rhyslloyd]

Eh. At least someone showed a pulse.

Vernon Butler was stupid for doing that. What was he thinking? 

Replays confirm Jack Doyle fingered him in his butt.

Butler has actually been our top DT this season

I don't think you are setting the bar all that high.

Huh?

Only short played this season, and only two games or so.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about best overall.

That would be the dumb thing to do. Make him inactive for the last game. Cutting him does no good if he can sign somewhere else as a FA.

As scary as it sounds, he is tied for 4th in the entire NFL for sacks by a DT with 6. That's right, 4th. If you think he won't sign as a FA elsewhere, you are naive. He will, so cutting him is just downright stupid when we'd be throwing away a potential comp pick.

I'll be honest that I didn't watch the game at all as I had to be at the Apple store with my son for a couple hours, but as @t96 posted in another thread (I trust his opinion), at least Vernon was showing a bit of fire and frustration. This team has 100% given up.

Nah ... you dont get it.  Butler has been the benefactor of pressure from other players.  Practically no chance he is a Panther next year.  Set the tone and send a message, no room for that in our organization.  

After arriving, Cortez burned his ships and his crew was motivated.  Time for Tepper to define his organization.  I get it that you dont get it.  Nobody is worried where he will go. Dude is a rotational player at best.   Nobody game plans around this clown.

Yeah dude, I kinda hope this is the last we see of him. Never been impressed and I'm a patient fan. I'd never heard of him coming out of college and was giving the team the benefit of the doubt since i recall that being a deep draft for dline that year but you can't get more meh than that.

One of our notable regrettable first rounders. A turd surrounded by roses like DJ Moore and Christian McCaffrey.

I mean he punched some dude in the face, Violently yelled at whomever He spoke to on the phone, and then gave some Indiana redneck a one finger salute on his way out the door. An incredible way to go out as a Panther. I’m going to buy his jersey when it’s on sale to 70% off in about a week and a half. 

I can’t go this far but his reaction was definitely spirited albeit short sighted, classless  and ignorant.  

if only he had channeled that spirit positively on the preceding play...

I think Vern has talent but he can’t put it together.

Tepper could've avoided all this and tore it down last year yet decided to remain status quo. I hope this season lit a much needed fire underfoot.
