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 Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
