The Panthers pulled the contract offer to undrafted Washington State nose tackle Robert Barber pending the result of his court case, his agent told "The Seattle Times." Barber was charged with second-degree felony assault in February after allegedly punching a WSU student at a party in July. He pleaded not-guilty at his arraignment and a motion to dismiss the case will be heard in court on Wednesday. "The Panthers did not want to move forward until [the case] was settled,'' Barber's agent, Anthony Bendara, told The Times in a text message.

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.

I assume that there is something his lawyers have that makes trial a feasible option. It is also possible that the DA want's to make an example of him (which wouldn't surprise me considering the locale) and hasn't offered a plea deal. A high profile individual, caught on tape, and a DA who wants to create a persona for a run for office....that makes too much sense.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
