I agree Butler is a great talent but BB has won superbowls with Elite as well as marginal talent in the secondary.
I dunna know about that. You can argue that one either way
2001- Elite
2003- Elite
2004- Gay/Asante/Brown/Poteat at CB which was absolutely average but at SS you had elite and Geno Wilson was a stud before his body started to fail him.
2014- Elite
I thought their secondary in 2007 was above average. Asante was borderline elite. Hobbs was average. Rodney was average and everyone else was average.
2011- Ugh.
Not marginal linebacking talent.
If you look at those Superbowl winning teams all great to elite Linebacking corps.
If Hightower doesnt make that amazing stuff at the goal line Butler isnt ever a household name and is looking at a contract in the 5 plus range.
Because he made a hell of a play on the biggest stage he is now worth double that.
I tend to agree. That play was huge. It was big time exposure for him. When you play wellin big games that raises your $$s.
5ft 9 defensivebacks are out there with good to great cover skills.
6ft4 linebackers who run like clydesdales can play all over the field and can be put on a back a tight end or at times slot receiver are not in the back of the first rounds at times not even top 10.
We lucked out with Collins because he played on a losing team and our scout team saw past that.
Yep- Collins is a different player but just as effective. Someone will pay him.
If Collins hits free agency he will never come back.
With the money flying around in FA it would not surprise me.
