Patriots fans pretty happy on Butler Release

[DaCityKats]

#27 for pats is 10x worse.and shouldnt it say something about coaching/ scouting that they have drafted a cb in the 1st or 2nd the last 3 years?

There are fans here that think Charles Johnson, Cam Newton, and Chris Gamble suck...

while true, this is different. He was not unlike their Everrete Brown, except that he teased being great as a rookie and was pretty bad under pressure last year. He was overall a major disappointment.

Eagles just resigned hanson and cut lindley. Not sure if we might be interested in lindley?

Very young guy with a decent amount of potential... Depending on what McDermott thinks of him I could see us getting him. wait, they cut Lindley? huh

personally, I would go after lindley and cut stanford or josh thomas. I like the way lindley plays.

not sure if I see it happening with the acquisition of butler now. Never know.

I posted some of those in the other BButler thread last night

i said that last night as well

Well my thinking is this. After looking at his number, he wasn't TERRIBLE. Just has to tackle better. Look at Gamble last year. Couldn't tackle to save his life. Completely missing multiple times on tackles. It will get better. Players have down years, it happens. The guy is still young with a lot to learn. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Again, he can't be worse than what we already have, because that is just impossible.

Best thing about bringing Butler in is it puts the pressure on Captain to perform. If he doesn't, it would be nothing to put Pugh at safety, drop Godfrey to a CB or nickle, and put Butler in. Hopefully he is competitive and it makes all our secondary guys better.

Also, as already stated, it could be the kid's confidence. The swag on this team is contagious. He'll be fine if that is the case.

In Darius Butler's defense, Pats fans have a tendency to expect every player they draft to immediately become the Tom Brady at their position from day 1. Maybe he won't pan out here, maybe he'll turn into a gem. I think Meeks has done more with less.

[jarhead]

And to think it made everyone here happy.We are some desperate fans:ma:

[Lumps]

meh we have nothing to lose and didn't give up anything for him so if he doesn't pan out who cares. We aren't calling him a savior, at least I am not. I'm sure as hell not satisfied with CB just yet. I consider this year the Panther will be going through a couple positions to wee doubt who can't and can handle it. I could see getting mad over a second round pick... in fact I can relate quite a bit.

[Future of the Funchise]

he sounds like their version of everette brown

naw, Butler has like 20 more tackles than Brown.

[rodeo]

If Butler has any potential, it will be realized with help from Ron Meeks and Ron Rivera. If he doesn't, he'll wash out and nothing of value was lost. So there's no issue here.

True, but you can do more with less when you have the DL play to make up for some of the lack of talent. His days in Indy were an example of that......

There was 0 risk for us. We need a CB and if it works out great! If not we are back where we started so nothing lost. Sometimes players just need a new coaching staff and hopefully we will be that staff. BTW Pats fans are some of the dumbest egotistical fans out there so they are going to bash anyone thats not a Pat anymore.

[Zod]

To be fair, the Patriots fan base is comprised mainly of dick grabbers and assholes.
