When considering that all three play on a run first team, King is the most talented on this team because he is the best blocker. He also has great hands and is a good route runner. His only weakness is his speed. That is what Rosario and Barnidge have but they lack in blocking.

I will say that Rosario is constantly improving his blocking skills and I think could become the better TE eventually. But it is very rare to find a TE that is great at everything that the position calls for. Usually, you have to give up something in order to utilize the player's strengths.

rosario dawson = best tight end

as far as playing goes, though, dante rosario should be a WR. king is the best all around TE on the roster. barnidge could be given more opportunities and experience. he needs to be involved more.

the TEs should be playing a much larger role in the passing game.

i think barnidge is the most talented with his size and speed there is no reason for him to not be used more. for some reason he dropped on the depth chart below dante before the season. I dont understand why that happened but dante has looked good so i cant complain. i just wonder what happened to make him fall out of the starting line up in pre season. also i wonder what would have happened if he had been in the games instead of dante.

Okay, I believe that for pure tight end, King is the best.

That being said, I wholeheartedly agree that Rosario should be moved to WR3 position. Work him as the slot receiver and groom him to be Moose's successor. If you think Moose can layout a cornerback with a block, Rosario should be able to knock one of them into the third row of the stands.

Move him and get him trained up on the WR routes.

Barnidge shows promise, but he needs a bit of Stick'em on his gloves...

I'm not sure why everyone thinks Rosario should be switched to WR. He has great hands, but surely he doesn't have the speed to beat most DB's. The reason he's had success so far is because he's mainly been covered by Linebackers.

It's the whole mismatch thing. He's faster than most linebackers and much bigger than most corners.

I'm not so sure we need to switch his position entirely to benefit from these mismatches, but it couldn't hurt to line him up as a receiver every now and then.

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
