Marion "2 yards and a cloud of dust" Butts

I remember Fred Smerlas saying how respected Andre Tippett was around the league. The quote was when Tippet hit you, "you stayed hit."

Sometime when you have a minute, compare Stanley Morgan's numbers to HOF receiver Lynn Swann. No knock on Swann - he was a very good player who happened to play for the most successful team of the 70s. But Morgan was a better player.

LOL. Yep, Butts was past his prime -- to say the least -- by the time he came to NE.

That Singleton/Agnew trade turned into a classic "a dollar for two dimes" deal (actually with the Terry Wooden pick they traded in round 2 it was more like $1.25 for two dimes). One of the worst trades in team history.
