Tolbert As Shockey Replacement?

While he won't replace Shockey positionally, I do expect he will take his touches. I was firmly in the bring-Shockey-back camp, but with this signing, it is unnecessary.

Tolbert is much faster/elusive than Shockey with the ball in his hands, plus he's younger and cheaper.

The more I think about this signing, the more I like it.

If Shockey wants to come back for 2 million a year I expect we would sign him but he made 4 million last year and might want the same. I don't think we have that much money for that position for 37 catches or over 100,000 a catch when we have Barnidge and Olsen. I would like to see him as a Panther if we can sign him.

I think Barnidge can replace Shocky just fine.

Iwouldn't be surprise to see him lined up at TE few times this year. Believe he'll mostly be at FB either run blocking, catching in backfield, running the goalline, and on ST.

WHAT IS WITH ALL OF THE LOVE FOR BARNIDGE AROUND HERE?

    • This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.
    • Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.
    • Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
