Gary Barnidge

[Woodcookedbbq]

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.

[DaveThePanther2008]

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

How Barnidge isn't a huge threat baffles me...

Hopefully it is the three years is a charm rule. (SEE D'Williams)

Go Panthers

He has to do his 3 to 4 years of sitting on the bench..before fox thinks he has enough "experience"

I remember a game when jake was overthrowing him..smh

Gary Barnidge is the fuging man

[pantherfan81]

He'll get better the more chances he gets on the field. That said, his obstacles are the QB situation & Fox.

[Brandon]

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.

[beastson]

Because he cant handle a really talented team

[carpanfan96]

Against the Vikes he had 1 catch for 55 yards, NO - 3 for 46 yards, 2 - 46 against Miami. He caught the ball when given an opportunity to do so.

[CatMan72]

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.

[Ricky Spanish]

i like him because he doesn't look as awkward and white as king does whenever he touches the ball.

How Jeff King start before him baffles me..... Im not knocking king but he is a threat to no one.
