Lost in this horrible loss--is Gary Barnidge

I've been talking about Barnidge since I had the chance to see him this year in training camp, the man is a beast. With a QB that could actually throw the ball he has a chance to be a top 10, maybe top 5 TE with his speed. He blew by a couple DB's yesterday...

Would I be correct in assuming Moore has been practicing with Barnidge on the second team? If Moore does come in, Barnidge may fast become a popular target of his.

Excellent point. Hadn't thought of that.

Still wish we had grabbed Sammie Stroughter in the draft. Remember, the guy who burned us on the punt return in Tampa Bay? He and Moore had an excellent raport in college, and I thought they would have been a great tandem here.

He had 3 catches for 77 yards! So Rosario being hurt is bad, but with Barnidge, it may not be too bad. We all saw the Barnidge was good, he just wasn't being used. But don't get too happy. #17 is still at QB.

I realize the first throw was high, but I also saw that, with the ball in the air, He stopped running. If he had continued to run full-out, and considering his height, maybe the results would have been different...(see second long pass!).

    • To all the analysts who said "Caps in 5", thank you for telling us their departure time.
    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
