I think this guy is poised for greatness. I know he didn't get a lot of playing time, but I can't recall any dropped passes this season. However, he did have one fumble during the first Saints game.

Do you all think that Fox will use him as a receiving tight end moreso than a blocker next season? He's tall and built like a wide receiver. Personally, I'd like to see this.

One of the best play he did this season was when he caught the ball & keep running. He could've gotten a TD if no defense players was around him. He is going to get better if he keep it up. I think maybe he should bulk up some. He look a little too skinny compare to King & Rosario.

That was a great play. I liked how he realized he was gonna get caught from behind and secured the ball. He came from Louisville as a highly regarded receiving Tight End. At 6'5" he is a huge target but I agree with Pantherdude he needs to bulk up some. I believe he could take that #1 TE position. If he can get the #1 spot, Moore would have more options then with King or Rosario.

Go Panthers

Barnidge is the best TE on the team, and he's 3rd on the depth chart. Makes no sense to me. Worst thing is as a receiving TE most critics would say that means he doesn't block as well but he was in on a lot of 2TE running sets but was taken out almost every passing situation. He makes play after play when given the shot but for whatever reason Fox just doesn't move him up.

I think Barnidge is poised for greatness, he's made some eye-popping plays when he's got his chance. The guy is a freak, met him at the pro-bowl party, he's every bit of 6'6" which makes him a matchup nightmare for LB's and safeties.

I really hope we get an extended look at Barnidge this year.

      Panthers schedule is out

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.

      Ticket Prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down

      yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
