Kenjon Barner with a 90+ Punt Runt Return TD. * Sigh

Was a damn good return, Philly special teams have been awesome last few years. Agholor also looking legit.

If Barner makes the squad does he count towards out comp pick formula?

 

No they cut him after we traded him so that's out of the picture now. He went to their PS last year after being unclaimed so he's theirs.

 

Edit: realized you're talking about comp picks and not the conditional 7th we traded him for... He never would've counted to the comp pick formula since he wasn't a free agent we traded him for a conditional 7th. Since they cut him we can't get that 7th. Doubt he even makes their squad anyways, they have many great returners above him.

 

Edit2: Actually he didn't even make their PS last year... They released him and signed him to a future/reserve contract after the season. Regardless, still doesn't affect us at all.

There was NO way Shula was ever going to use him right. Chip knows Barner from his college days and knows exactly how to use him. Don't read to much into it.

As for his punt TD, it was a good return, but I'd still rather have Ginn back there.

Oh please, stop ripping on Shula for no reason. Barner is not ever going to make any impact in the NFL at all. Extremely unlikely he even makes the Eagles' 53 man roster. If Chip knew how to use him so well, he wouldn't have cut him last year.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
