It's been years... but what do you believe was the reason for the Malcolm Butler benching? #NFL If he played, would the Patriots have won 3 in a row?

Transcript

00:00I think it was the twitch chat that was theorizing that Malcolm Butler was out because

00:07he had an illness before Super Bowl 52. Yesterday he went on across the street down in New Orleans

00:14with Brand X and he told the afternoon show that it was quote a coach's decision

00:22and later on Felger pressed him and he said something to the effect of Felger asking Butler

00:32you know is this sort of like you've made an agreement that you're not going to discuss

00:37whatever it is publicly and Butler basically said yes so this confirms to me what we all know but

00:45can't say on the radio and it is so I don't know why I feel like I knew what really happened but

00:52seeing this I don't know how Patriots fans sit and watch that and are okay with it in any way

01:00in any way all you needed was one stop and you win three straight and this Mahomes thing is

01:08totally meaningless like I just it's it sounded like a disciplinary thing that he knew but what

01:15was interesting Curtis was that he turned it on all the guys and asked each of them what they

01:20thought happened or what the rumor was that they heard like it was almost like he wanted it out

01:26there without him having to say it because two out of the three had similar stories without going as

01:32far as to what you know a lot of people believe happened so I just if you believe it was anything

01:38relating to his health or actual on field game plan it is not yeah but I don't think it meant

01:45I don't think there's many people who believe that I think they're the majority it's fans have

01:50the inability to accept that it was something other than that I think the majority of Patriots

01:55fans believe it was disciplinary actions yeah that Bill had no choice but to do because whatever he

02:03did was so egregious that he couldn't allow that type of behavior in front of the rest of the team
