We don't need Shockey

Barnidge has decent potential, but we'll never know until he plays against real competition. Whenever Fox let him on the field (one play per month it seemed) he showed something, but last year was bad for him due to injury.

I'm a big time Barnidge fan, but I'd rather go with a certainty than uncertainty.

well how can you argue with the logic of "it's some other guys fault that he sucks"

12 receptions in 4 seasons. damn you fox

You said it yourself. Last time he caught a pass in a game was 2009...that right there says he never had playing time what so ever. How can someone show their stuff if they can't get on the field.

You really countered your own post. I'd rather a guy get on the field and show he sucks than holding a towel with a ballcap thinking 'What if?'

Besides, the fact he's still around says the Coaching staff sees something in him.

@OP, sure we don't NEED Shockey...but I wouldn't mind having him back.

Barnidge has huge potential and it will be interesting to see what the coaching staff has done to improve his game.

Barnidge essentially has the same build that Olsen does and from what I have seen from Barnidge he really looks like Olsen 2.0.

The only thing that really hurts about losing Shockey is the fact that Shockey has become a great blocking tight end. However, if the Panthers have their eye on a blocking tight end in the draft or if they feel that Ben Hartsock can become the blocking tight end that the Panthers need, then I can't argue.

lol he played 16 games in 2010, started 3 of them. way to completely not know WTF you are talking about

guess that's not enough playing time to notch ONE reception though, huh?

Most of his playing time in 2010 was on special teams

And disregard our receivers numbers in 2010, Clausen was quarterback.

If anyone judges a tight end on anything other than blocking in Fox's scheme then they need to go back and look at how Foxy used the tight ends.

Fox never had a tight end reach 500 yards receiving in his tenure with Carolina. Rivera's first year sees Greg Olsen reaching the 500 yard mark.

You can't judge Barnidge on his past performances in years past when he rarely saw plays directed toward him.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
