Tyler Gaffney Panthers Comparison

[B.BERSIN]

Not bad.

I wonder how Nick Goings is doing

I'm not so sure I see the quickness from Reeves to be a scat back. When watching Reaves, first thing you notice is that hes a super patient runner. Reaves is a tweener, has power back qualities but lacks size, and like I said I don't think he's explosive enough to be a home run hitter type back. Barner's job to lose imo. My hope is that Barner hit the weight room this offseason and added 10 pounds or so.

I feel your optimism but I don't know if 10 pounds of muscle is enought to help Barner. He looked good in preseason but he really got blown up in his limited opportunities to play. Looked like a rag doll equivalent to RGIII running the ball.

Wasted pick.  Gaffney wouldn't have lasted two seconds had he played in the SEC.  In the NFL?  Please.  Gaffney was a system back for the Stanford Cardinals.  Just about all of the their runners succeed in that system, but they haven't done diddly in the NFL.

yep totally agree, he reminds me of Davis 

 

won't lie I initially was upset with this pick just due to position, but man did this guy have a beastly year last year. I like his athleticism and he will provide great insurance when Stew goes down

Ran like a 4.40 so pretty quick i liked this pick

I thought he ran sort of like Stew in his highlights. Not quite as explosive but the ferocity is there. I can see the Davis comparison.

I agree with your point, but I think Davis had more speed than Gaffney.

I wonder if we are going to give up on the Brandon Williams experiment and permanently move Brockel as the #3 TE and have Gaffney as the backup to Tolbert. NFL.com says he is very solid in pass protection.

If Barner plays great in camp and preseason, this guy is on the practice squad.

Not giving up hope huh?

1:23 in this video is awesome. Gettleman said he picks up the blitz well and this proves it haha.

 

And listening to him talk at the very end makes me think he's perfect for us. What he says is exactly what we try to do.

 

Love this pick. He will be a stud.

If you mean Gaffney to the PS I disagree. They're very different backs and Barner (who I liked as a 6th rounder) hasn't proven he can break a hand tackle or pass protect. Gaffney's no sure thing to contribute, but what 6th rounder is?
