You said you agreed Gilmore was way better than Butler (true) but then spent the next hour trying to tell us how Butler was just as good.
I described my position thoroughly, you disagreed, when I suggested for the sake of the board's sanity that we agree to disagree, you said I didn't have to respond.
Well I stopped responding... and you chased me down anyway. Now for the sake of the board's sanity I'll ask you to go take a flying fck.
I made my position known, Butler was only ever "good," possibly "very good" for two seasons at most. Gilmore is "excellent," far superior to Butler in every way... and always was. That's why BB paid him and let Butler walk.
If the team can win rings with Butler and Logan Ryan, neither of whom was excellent or a superior athlete, then if the 2022 Patriot defensive front is excellent they can win a ring with Mills/Mitchell as well... assuming the other two phases match that excellence.
Butler was an UDFA, he was a great story... he was never a superior athlete... it's a joke to compare him and Gilmore in the same breath.
