Fify 

but id also add a couple bottom of the roster moves that won't help at all and the team will feel good about its options sans Olsen.

Bucky was cut by the team that drafted him and they didn't even put him on their PS. 

 

Even Beau Sandland made the Panthers PS, and he was awful.

Or we could just make better use of our WR's and actually give Dickson a chance when he's wide open instead of throwing it 10 feet over his head.

I understand what you're getting at, but this is what caught my eye when it comes to Barnidge:

  • Barnidge ranked 25th among 63 qualified tight ends last season with a 70.6 overall grade. His 76.0 pass blocking grade led all tight ends in 2016 but he ranked 50th with a run blocking grade of 43.6.
  • Barnidge’s 123 pass blocking snaps last season lead all tight ends as he allowed just three total pressures.
  • Barnidge wasn’t used much in the deep passing game in 2016, he ranked third among tight ends in 2015, however, in terms of both catch rate (60 percent) and receptions (six) on deep passes (balls that travel at least 20 yards in the air).
  • Over the past two seasons, Browns QB’s had a 111.1 QB Rating on 73 targets to Barnidge at the intermediate level (10-19 yards in the air).

So why is he still unemployed 2 weeks into the season?

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
