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of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers made the offer on Saturday night, Barber accepted it, and then the Panthers rescinded it once becoming aware of the legal entanglement.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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
