Patriots Rumor Malcolm Butler Mega Thread

[TommyD4207]

He would have made a difference in that Super Bowl even if it meant just making one or two plays (like being able to tackle a receiver). I don't care how he has fared in his first two games outside of NE.

How about how he fared in the AFCCG last year?

Ugh. I hate old threads getting necro’d, but I also kind of hate the idea of a NEW Butler thread being started...

I didn't want to create one either but there is no question Malcolm's play dropped off last year and it looks like its continuing.

Or all last season I guess.

Don't obscure the issue with facts.

Just not having the kind of year I expected. Is it psychological ? Is he not getting the help with some WR's he used to? Anytime someone caught the ball Saturday I was looking for 21 trailing the play, ok sometimes it was Rowe . Can he turn it around for next games?

What about his free agency worth now, has to be down . Man the saints lucked out with Lattimore . Don't remember were we hoping for their 11th pick ?

What's Wrong With Malcolm Butler This Season?

Was trying to find CB ratings , couldn't...

Maybe Coach was right about this one...

Butler is quite possibly the next Asante Samuel. Overvalued himself and never was heard of again once he went to Philly.

Seems like Malcolm is picking it up right where he left off.


Malcolm Butler statistically worst corner in NFL so far, so maybe Belichick was right

Honestly, anyone who posts a story by Tomase should be banned from this site. Unless it is a story reporting his untimely demise. Just saying.

JOHN TOMASE. Really. The name in latin means "he who lies".

It was stat based.

Don't care if it was picture based. JOHN TOMASE.

I think that’s a fair comparison. They don’t strike me as remarkably similar players - Butler was a scrappy guy who made plays with effort, Asante was a twitchy guy who could stick on players and had a nose for the ball. But in terms of impact and how they left, very similar. Hard to knock a guy for wanting to get paid for what others hoped he be rather than what he is (so...hard to knock NE/BB in these cases too). Lord knows if someone thought my job performance was exemplary and wanted to pay me like 2-4x as much I would sign that **** in a heartbeat.

Malcolm caught his game-winning Super Bowl INT though.

17 targets 257 yards and 3 tds in 2 games is horrific.
Considering he covers one receiver per play that would be 136 targets 2056 yards and 24 TDs by “whoever Malcolm covers” which is almost record setting for a wr.
And that was against Miami and Houston.

TBH I never looked to see who authored the piece

 

[zoostation]

The Titans paid him 61 million?!?!? Horrible decision. They must have done their scouting by reading this board.

You guys do realize that although Belichick was unwilling to pay Butler top dollar, he was willing to pay him a lot, and to significantly dent the salary cap, right?

Against the Jags

Pats with Butler: 20 points allowed
Pats w/o Butler: 31 points allowed

Butler is slower than most wide receivers and he guesses a lot, but he is a willing tackler with high courage and his technique is impeccable . He is head and shoulders better than Rowe.

They’re overpaying for former pats because they have the cap and their GM (who worked in NE in the past)believes these players can help bring a winning culture/mentality to an overall young team.
