Armah or Barnage?

Even before the season I was seriously doubting that Olsen would get 1000 yds. again this year, but there's no doubt we're hurting without him. Barnidge keeps getting workouts but I never hear anything about any offers. Hard to believe he's total crap all of a sudden so maybe he's making it clear he won't come cheap.

With a team that relies on tight end play like us, bringing Barnidge in should be a TOP priority right now.  TOP.    Also the additional blocking because, we're going to need it.  

If you want this defense to stay fresh & finish off game  then  TE  like Barnidge is necessary.

Panthers also need to use Byrd & Samuel in the deep routes and stretch defenses out

Or we could just use the WR's more. KB and Funchess both proved that they can get open and make clutch catches yesterday.

You're not going to replace Olsen's role with any free agent. It's going to have to be with multiple players and KB, Funchess and Dickson looks like the most likely committee.

I'd be game with Armah assuming he learned his new position enough.

I'm not sure how many times it needs to be said:

Armah does not play tight end and our offensive coordinator doesn't even know what a pass catching H-back is. 

Ed Dickson has lined up as a pass catching H-Back fairly often this season sooo

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • 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.
