Bum Alert: Brice Butler

[Bleu Star]

How do you even fix your lips to say this?

"I still don't even know where my hands were..."

Really??? How do you fix your lips to say this? I have an answer.. How about with your next contract. Lost... Idiot.

Lovingly Yours,

Your boy Bleu

Brice Butler has seen better days.

The backup wide receiver was expected to compete with Terrance Williams this season as both entered their contract year with the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, it was a campaign marred with errors by Butler including a dropped touchdown pass in the NFC Divisional Round.

That followed a weird unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that involved Butler entering the huddle and then exiting for the sidelines. While the latter appears to be a phantom call by a suspect officiating crew, the former is accountable only to the veteran wideout.

And he knows it, too.

“Everybody has to do their individual job to help the team," Butler said, via Fort Worth-Star Telegram. "I don’t really feel like that I helped. Then we lost, which makes it worse. Now I’ve got to sit and think about this for a couple months.”

Butler: SMH.

Needs to be gone

“I would love to [remain in Dallas]," said the veteran. "But this is my first time ever being a part of free agency. Things happen. I pray that things work out to where I can stay here cause I like it here, found a home here. But, we’ll see.”

We could do worse than having Butler as WR4.

But I would like to see some competition for both his position and Whiteheads.

About as easily replaceable as you can get.

We can find better bums to run the jet sweep. Yes please. Competition! Perhaps in FA.

I want Ryan Switzer from UNC. Can play reciever and be return man, must likely the best return man in the nation and is sure handed

 

[J_Allen]

He's a dumb player. Period.

But I do like his potential...

Potential? Is he fast? No. Physical? No. Good hands? No.

Odell dropped three a week before. It would be nice if Mara thought like you. I'd prefer the Giants without OBJ.

 

[J_Allen]

Potential? Is he fast? No. Physical? No. Good hands? No.

He filled in nicely in place of Dez Bryant. I think his hands are fine. He's got potential IMO and will be resigned.

 

[Ranching]

If we cut every player that dropped a pass, we'd have to run the Slot-T offense.

 

[CF74]

He's a dumb player. Period.

But I do like his potential...

Yeah I'm not ready to throw out the baby with the bath water. His physical abilities are very promising...

I was just reading an article about early mock drafts and they had him getting picked by the Cowboys. Nice job outta you. I just think they should move on from Lucky and Butler both.

I'm indifferent about him at this point. He came up smallest when it mattered most and very likely may have played himself off of this team, much like Mark Sanchez did. A player who has been in the league for four years being "WR4" may not even be worth keeping. I mean where is the potential upside vs the salary cost? Do you have to worry about him crumbling under pressure on you again?

I think Whitehead should definitely be gone, and I honestly don't care too much about Butler staying or going.

I feel the team has two receivers under contract in Bryant and Beasley, and a third halfway out the door in Williams. So they have some work to do in that area. Not 'big money' or 'high draft pick' work, but definitely some measure of work to do.

I'll gladly take an Antonio Brown in the sixth round please!

 

[SDCowboy]

We need a WR in the draft. Neither he nor Twill cut it at the #2 spot.

 

[Bowdown27]

Likely both are gone. We pick up guy cheap in free agency or draft a guy

 

[jwooten15]

Keep TWIll and find replacements for Whitehead and Butler.

Neither have found a niche in the offense, or on special teams. We could find the same amount of production in the draft.

 

[perrykemp]

But I do like his potential...

Sure. He'll only be in year 5 of his career next season.

He has a 4 year track record of 215 yards per season.

I'm not buying the 'vast well of untapped potential' story.

 

[ShiningStar]

I was wrong about him, moving on. This is the NFL, not day care.
