It's no secret that Chip Kelly has the upper hand in special teams (#1 rank) and offense compared to our braindead coaches. Couple that with Barner's familiarity with Chip from his college days and you have a player that breaks out in preseason.

Good for Barner, really. Like Mr. Midfield said, he has been rejected multiple times for not being able to cut it by the whole league. The fact that he's killing it now is a testament to him getting his act together, not a knock on the Panthers.

So far this preseason 92 yard punt return td

9 yard rushing td

50 yard reception

68 yard punt return td.

Yet we could do nothing with him.

From what I saw, every time he got into a Panthers game he could do nothing with the defense except bounce off defenders and fall down. I was pulling for the guy but he just looked lost. If he figured out what to do when he got the ball I'm happy for him.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
