Brice Butler needs to be the 2

Brice Butler is like Alvin Harper, except he's not nearly as good as Alvin Harper.
 
He had a great game last night and he is certainly capable of doing that on a consistent basis but I don't think he's done enough to take snaps away from t-will. Not trying to bash Dez but in a perfect world Dez would be a great #2. Obviously we have to find that #1 guy which is obviously not easy to do. Not every team has that guy.
 
T-Will & Butler are interchangeable. Both are inconsistent but will make a play from time to time when you really need one. Neither is better than the other.

He's killer on the crossing routes, better with the sideline toe-taps, catches ~85% of the balls targeted to him every year, takes deals at under market rate because he likes the team, plays hurt, and blocks hard downfield. And we basically got him with a free draft pick we got in the Frederick deal.

The only reason people don't like him is that he 'body catches.' Which is stupid, because he body catches ~85+% of the balls thrown to him every year. Who cares if he body catches if he catches it at a higher rate than the guys he's competing with?

TWill doesn't have Butler's athleticism, and he's not quite as fast. But he's a lot more consistent. Both make circus catches. But Butler also will drop a key 3rd down on you ever now and then. TWill rarely does that.

the biggest issue with being body catcher is that you get targeted less because you less open. Now he does show flashes with his hands because most of his memorable catches were sideline hand catches.
 
TWill has been very consistent so far this season when the ball gets thrown his way.
 
He's fine where he is as the 3rd/4th option, but I agree they could use his deep speed and size downfield more often.
 
Every time someone shows flashes people want to take them out of the role they are excelling in. As of right now he's ex excelling in his limited amount of action. Let him continue to play that role. Don't screw with anything.

Amen.
 
Terrance Williams is a boss, you can only have so many guys on the field at one time

He gets targeted more than Butler, too, though. Perhaps not as a percentage of snaps, but overall. And he gets a higher percentage of snaps because the coaches prefer him in the lineup, obviously.
 
15+ yard targets since beginning of 2016

Bryant 17 of 43 461 yd 5 td 1 int 108.8
Williams 13 of 24 325 yd 2 td 0 int 127.1
Butler 9 of 19 260 yd 3 td 0 int 133.2

He should be outside opposite Dez. Dude is just a playmaker. He's everything that Williams wish he was.

I have always said this, and some swore Williams was better. Butler is proving the Williams fans wrong.

Personally, I like them both and like the strategy of bringing his speed off the bench late in games.
