A bust? Barner a bust? A 6th rounder a bust? Wtf?!

Barner And gaffney are your two backs that compliment each other, who are going to replace the aweful contracts of double trouble. Stew and Williams are first out.

Gaffney and Barner could easily replace the production of double trouble. We should rid these contracts as soon as feasible because of that.

How can you call barner a bust when he had no chance to see the field?

If you're forced to pay guys millions more than they are worth, you should at least play them. I'm glad they sat barner. Gave him time to prepare mentally and physically for the NFL

well the 8 times Barner seen the field as a RB he looked like a child among men, Barner has no size to him and he showed why he was drafted in the 6th..

 

I had high hopes when we drafted Barner but he has shown nothing that says he is a NFL RB, I hope to eat crow on this. I thought he could be like Sproles but the only thing he has on him is 3 inches. Stewart was out for most of the year and Barner couldn't take that from him. 

 

Barner is gone or IR.

Williams has been our most consistent running back so far, though admittedly that isn't necessarily saying much considering the circumstances. Stewart hasn't proven he can even stay healthy yet, Barner has looked lost and can't hold onto the football, and Gaffney hasn't even taken a snap in the NFL yet. Unless Stewart/Barner/Gaffney go off and show out big in the preseason, Williams is not going anywhere. Plain and simple. I think some people are still sour about comments Deangelo has made, but that doesn't change the facts of the current situation with our roster.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
