I like the potential of both of these guys, but havent really heard anything from the team or media about either one. I know fox is mute with the media, but does anyone have any info on them?

Hilee is the type of player that Meeks has had success with in Indy (johnson too for that matter).

Barnridge missed some time early on last season in never really got in the groove, but regularly dressed out. He has the potential to be playmaker (outside of the Delhomme factor).

hillee was hurt a lot this year...that my keep him out of the starting lineup

I wouldn't expect Hilee to start anyway, but he can play the Al Wallace role, if he can stay healthy.

I expect Barnidge to get a lot more PT this coming season. No rookie WR or TE is ever gonna get much action on this team, unless it's because of injuries. Fox likes to develop them instead of throwing them in the fire. I know that pisses some people off, but I believe it's the right way to do it.

Barnidge is our best hope to have a TE who can actually catch the ball. If he learns to block well he could be an every down player.

Taylor is a wildcard. If he comes back bulked up and stronger he could get a lot more playing time especially if Peppers leaves. He will definitely be in our 3rd down package but could earn more PT if he can stiffen up against the run.

I would expect him to put on some weight for this year to help with injuries just as Johnson did the year before.

Fox let him have a sub package in his rookie year. That should speak for it self and now they feel about him. Hes got some jets too cause he had two steps on his man but Delhomme missed him with the ball.

He was a very good blocker out of collage and wiffed on a few this year on ST but not bad for a rookie.

Yeah, I guarantee you that his blocking ability is the first thing the Panthers wanted to develop. I have no doubt that Barnidge will be bigger and more capable this coming season. The same goes for Taylor, although the thread starter made a pretty good point about Meeks working with smaller DE's. Hell, Taylor is already bigger than Mathis, who starts opposite Freeney for the Colts.

That is true. He is just undersized for our line. He def has pass rushing ability. As we saw last year. Without Pep though he will need some size to get around his T that he didnt have to worry about last year playing the Joker.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
