Observations: Kenjon Barner

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.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
