Panthers withdraw offer to UDFA


Recommended Posts

For the Panthers, they didn’t realize that former Washington State defensive tackle Robert Barber is facing a trial on second-degree felony assault charges.

Via Jourdan Rodrique of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers made the offer on Saturday night, Barber accepted it, and then the Panthers rescinded it once becoming aware of the legal entanglement.

Barber’s trial for allegedly punching a fellow Washington State student at a July 2016 party is due to begin on May 15.

A little embarrassing to be honest. The Huddler who made the UDFA signing thread about this guy found out about this incident immediately using the Google. How did the Panthers not know?

 

They probably didn't realize he was going to trial. I doubt he was cut because of the assault itself, only cut because they didn't realize that he may actually be convicted.

With this guy being an NFL hopefully, how has he not already plead himself out of this? Take whatever deal is on the table and get it behind you. He's probably not getting a shot until this gets resolved. The video is pretty cut and dry. He's not getting anywhere taking it to trial.

lol even I knew this.

from what i remember though it sounds like he was just in a fight. Seems kinda reactionary.

The video is out there. He sucker punched a guy from behind who wasn't even looking his direction and then punched him again as he was laid out on the ground. It definitely wasn't a "fight".

I love that our organization doesn't even bother with guys that have character concerns. He can get just as good of players that are good family men with good heads on their shoulders. Let other teams deal with the trash

and all it took was greg hardy beating his girlfriend while on the franchise tag

Only if you are looking for it to be.  I think it's respectable.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
