I realize that some of you are drinking the Barnidge Kool-Aid, and I like the kid too, but I just like Rosario better. Rosario is a bigger, more athletic target who catches what is thrown his way, and looks to be improving at blocking (and it shows). Good things seem to happen when Jake throws the ball to him. Fox and the OC need to keep Rosario (as well as all the TEs, really) into the flow of the game. If they don't, all parties involved are missing out on opportunities to extend, or even make drives.

the source of the barnidge koolaid was the team who kept putting barnidge with the first team and who kept playing him as a receiver and kept targeting him.

He was one of Jake's favorite targets. tonight both king and rosario stepped up, esp. rosario.

truthfully i don't care who gets the job. i'm just glad they are getting the love.

I have been disappointed in Rasoiro for most of last season and this preseason. However, I felt from the time the Panthers drafted him that he had the tools to be a TE in the same fashion as a Tony Gonzeles or Antonio Gates.

I really found it interesting the article from a couple of days back that talked about how after Smith came back from his two game suspension that Rasorio had less looks from Jake and as a result started not playing as well. There are two issues here if that is the case. 1)Rasorio has to grow up and get over it. Probably in the long run by doing that he only hurt himself and his team. 2)Jake needs to work on communication and bonding with more than just his 2 BFF Smitty and Moose. I don't think this is a issue of spreading the ball around or the lack thereof of Delhomme. However, if Jake had a good, communitive relationship with Rasoiro to begin that situation would have never happened.

We are already planning on using all 3 TE's extensively throughout the season, so how is Rosario being misused? Barnidge is a better every down option simply because he's a better blocker and just as athletic.

You may think he is just as athletic. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

@ Brandon

And, yeah you say that we plan to use the TEs extensively, but I believe that I have heard that before. Once the season starts, we'll see what happens.

We were passing a lot out of 3TE sets in camp... I've never seen them do anything like that before at TC.

3 TE sets where 2 of them are playmakers could be deadly. Naturally a straight up power rushing set with a deep pattern.. defenses would pay dearly if they were to respect the run.. and after DeAngelo singlehandedly made Miami look silly last night.. They will certainly do that.

it's pretty evident that they plan on keep all the te's active. they look pretty decent, i thought rosario had his second best game as a panther tonight. we found out last season that he is not consistent tho.

Not consistent, or just rarely used? He looked great when Steve Smith was out, but was rarely thrown to after that.

      to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day

      I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..

      Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
