Gary Barnidge injured

Hmmmm.

A bit late to put him on the PUP list. I'd hate to see him go on IR for a "freak accident".

I really hope this doesn't mean the end of his time with the Panthers. I believe, despite his small frame and what he was asked to do, this will be the first time he has missed any field time since being drafted. You just know Shockey isn't going to make it through the entire season unscathed. We will need a second pass catching TE if we keep lining up like we did last week. I hate to think he will miss his chance to impress his new coaches.

Anybody got an update?

The Panthers were in shorts on Thursday, but TE Gary Barnidge still managed to injure his ankle. The injury was bad enough to where the trainers felt the need to put an air cast on the leg and cart him off the field. Barnidge looked to be in considerable pain as he left the practice field.

Rivera said Barnidge was taken to get an x-ray.

“His cleat got stuck in the ground, and he went over the top of it,” Rivera said. “Hopefully, at worst it's a bad, bad (ankle) sprain. But as a precaution they booted him up, took him in and they're going to take him over to get some x-rays.”

i wouldn't worry, but the way the players were talking to him on twitter it sound's like they were really concerned. might be more because it happened right before practice was to end and they were heading on to miami.

barnidge sounded upbeat, but kind of like he was trying to.

garybarnidge @MikeSolarte not sure if I can say just know I will be good and a quick healer

garybarnidge @MackB73 thanks man I will be good. Good luck in game tom.

AllOfASutton22 My man @garybarnidge ...sry homie. Heal fast!! We got u

probably reading a good bit into it, but still something to be concerned about. fortunately he's not a "core" player so if he had to miss some time it wouldn't hurt a lot. i just want to see the guy play.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
