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of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers made the offer on Saturday night, Barber accepted it, and then the Panthers rescinded it once becoming aware of the legal entanglement.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

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
