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.

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house.
