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.

    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
    • as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
