Don't throw in the towel on Devin Butler

Exhibit A:

Jamal Custis

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Jury's still out on both.

 

[Chip]

Last time I saw a guy refuse to throw in the towel, Apollo died.

I think they're going to force-feed Butler this week. He will step up to the challenge, too.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

I agree. He has the ability to get open and has higher-end athleticism. Against more talented teams, you need to ride your higher-ceiling players. Butler needs to make the plays though.

Exhibit A:

Jamal Custis

'cause he'll drop it?

 

[Cuse12]

You have the assume the coaches are having him run like 200 slants a day after those first 2 weeks of performances? That is the specific route in my mind where I know on multiple occasions he dropped passes right in his hands. We are all hoping something changes mentally for him and he has a new sense of confidence.

 

[BlueShaq]

It was all a setup by Babers. FSU would think he would be horrible at catching the ball, then BANG he's the key player in this game

At least that's what I hope

 

[Finwad32]

Butler's going to be good for a trick play this week... Either a jet sweep pass or bubble fake to pass... Mark it down.

That's not how our offense works. It depends on what looks FSU gives on defense that will determine how much we go to him.

 

[Trueblue25]

Babers feeds the hot hand. Butler’s only hope is to start strong or next mans up. There’s no mid season redemption story.

 

[TheCusian]

I don't know how Custis will do vs high end competition. But there is no denying his last two games. Guy made catches vs WMU that not a lot of people here thought he had in him.

I think it's mental with Butler. And that means it can be fixed.

 

[SoBristol]

In the spread, Butler and Pierce do a lot of blocking for the smaller receivers. Not sure any of the young WRs can replace that. Butler will still get a lot of opportunities, while the others work in. Needs to make the catches as well (obviously), but he will play, a lot.

 

[P Vasiloff]

The only reason I won't throw in the towel on Butler is because I'm not sure he would catch it. Just kidding, I hope the kid gets his head straight and improves. Go Orange!!!!!!!!

 

[texascpa]

Some of you folks are nuts. Butler will get a couple balls his way, but rest assured Dungey's looking for Custis first, Riley second.

Other options behind him and Custis are very skinny and are also inexperienced. Good post that is exactly why he will continue to play. Just need him to catch more balls.

 

[SWC75]

I never "throw in the towel" on a player but Butler is hearing several sets of footsteps. Some are defenders. Some are the younger guys on the depth chart who want his job.

Custis will still tower over the DBacks. If he's in single coverage all he has to do is catch the ball. The same way we just threw it up to AET.

 

[Marroniac]

Don’t wait too long.

Sure, but then his son will avenge him!

The trailer for that sequel is great. I'm certain that movie will be better than Rocky V. Just like every other movie ever made.

Ahem, another sports-related sequel would like to have a word with you about being the worst movie ever made...

Even the art is horrid.

Ouch...

I understand. Just saying, that's how I see it playing out.
