Pats still interested in Sherman

[jimnance]

I LOVE Butler, but he is NOT a superior CB to Sherman. Why do you all keep saying that?? What exactly is he better at??? Sherman is an excellent tackler. This is a known fact. He is very physical. We all know he can cover his ass off. Malcolm may be slightly quicker. Sherman is highly intelligent. He has length that Butler will NEVER have. He also played through a pretty severe injury all last season, which hampered him & he STILL had a very good season. Also, nobody is talking about the fear factor from opposing QBs. People throw at Butler with no hestitation. All QBs (even Brady) think twice & even a third time before throwing in Sherman's direction. Sherman is a leader & would fit in great in this locker room. Lastly, imagine Sherman & Belichick's mental harmony on defense.

Oh yea, & he WANTS to play for us!

I know you all have a special place in your heart for Butler; as do I, however if it's Butler or Sherman...Peace Butler!

Antonio Brown says hello.

Be careful, jimnance might... Never mind.

Lol. No not going down that road again. Let's just say they are both top cbs with some similarities but also some different strengths and weaknesses. Butler can do some things better than Sherman, Sherman can do some things better than Butler.
They're both great, but Butler meshes better with Gilmore and Rowe and he's younger( especially in years in NFL which is more important than actual age).
I will say I think Sherman is more of a product of Hawks system than Butler is.
I think a lot of casual fans mistake Sherman for being a lockdown man to man old revis type cb- which he is not and never has been. He's got more limitations than Butler. He's not Patrick Peterson. Matter of fact,while Sherman has clearly been a better cb than Gilmore --I'd rather have Gilmore. Bigger upside.

Was about to start a debate but then I remembered today is opposite day.

2 years of Richard Sherman (who allegedly wants to play here) > 1 year of Malcolm Butler, who is disgruntled and already has one foot out the door

Surprised this trade hasn't already happened. I would not want Butler on my team if he won't be fully motivated to play his best.

 

[Bobs My Uncle]

The Seahawks sending Sherman to the Pats would all but guarantee a SB win for the Pats. That's why this trade probably doesn't happen. But, boy if it did.

Hilarious stuff.

Next man up. Cyrus Jones, Jonathan Jones. BB didn't draft/ sign them for nothing.

We all are aware of that but that was not the argument here.

Man I really want to land Sherman so the haters cry.
I think that trade would have like 4 missing parts.

 

[Kontradiction]

If Sherman comes to this team and health permits, this may be one of the most complete teams ever in the history of the NFL. Assuming they round out interior OL depth, this squad would really have zero glaring weaknesses.

 

[mgteich]

I presume we are all talking about trading Butler and using the compensation to get Sherman. Personally, I'm fine with that.

 

[Uptown]

We all are aware of that but that was not the argument here.

What do you mean?? Of course, it's a part of the arguement. If Butler leaves, Sherman slides outside & one of the younger guys/ draftees will most likely slide inside. Simple.

 

[Kontradiction]

If Sherman lands here, I might legitimately shoot a fat load right into my pants.

 

[PatsFan2]

Jonathan Jones was a UDFA who looks like a decent one.

 

[festy1986]

This has randy Moss written all over it.

Why is Seattle being dumb? You can't trade this guy.

[RedSleevesPinkStripes]

Would be cool, not holding my breath.

 

[Love The Drake]

Would be alot more than cool we would have a very physically imposing secondary.
My question is would Chung have to be involved in that trade?
I hope not

Browner must of spoke very highly about his time in New England
