Out of all 3 of our TE's..

Barnidge gets undue credit because of "start Weinke" syndrome. everyone buried down the depth chart is always a hidden gem when you're not happy with the starter.

Rosario had too many drops, he was way too inconsistent. He made some good plays, and wasn't terrible, but I think he had a chance to show what he could do and that was made great catches occasionally and drop easy passes other times. Barnidge doesn't get any credit because he hasn't done much. The few times he was thrown at 2 years ago (because he wasn't thrown at last year) he made good plays. I'd like to see what he can do. Regardless of who our starter is next year, hopefully Barnidge at least gets some playing time to see what he can do.

Rosario is the most inconsistant one of the 3, yet everyone wants to give him more chances than they gave colbert or jarrett. That there is some serious man crush.

I thought the kid was going to be our cooley, or clark.

Way to much inconsistency...specially in the passing game. He has failed, and I can admit it.

Haven't seen enough of barn, to even have an opinion.

King is the most consistent catcher of the 3. Sad but true.

So I vote none of the above.

From first hand experience, Rosario probably left the biggest impression on Rivera.

I like that Shockey might come to carolina. But Barnidge is the only TE the Panthers have that they should keep. King can block, but that just lets the other team know that we might run. Basically, we need a TE that doesn't make our offense predictable.

Rosario hasn't shown that he can be a blocker and route runner. King can't get open consistently enough. Barnidge at least has speed and can catch, so if he works on blocking he could be our guy.

But I still think we need to address our TE position, most likely through FA.

Something I noticed about Rosario (this may be common knowledge but for me, a brilliant observation): He catches balls above his head very well, but drops most passes below his numbers. Has anyone else seen this? DO not know what it means.
