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?

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that.

      I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something.

      But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
