I have no idea where the love affair with Barnidge has come from he's caught a few deep passes over his 800 year career as a 3rd stringer. I'm not putting much faith in him.

It was because of the situation he was in compared to the situation he is in now. He is and always has been a pass catching TE. Under Fox, he rarely utilized his TEs and if he did it was in the form of blocking. Also he will get to play with Cam compared to Delhomme and Clausen. Nothing guaranteed but he just has the skill set to succeed in this offense.

I don't think we need him, Barnidge is just as good w/o the experience and nastiness. Although I do like that about Shockey, but we can't afford him right now.

just as good? based on what?

are you looking at his wikipedia page for his weight and height?

Nastiness? So I'm sure you don't like Steve Smith?

Does he hold private practice sessions for you? Where did you see that?

the most recent was was prior to the start of the season. Are you saying that you've never seen, at least a video of Barnidge catching a pass or running a route, even under Fox? I think that he's just a good of a catcher as Shockey and it's public record right now that we can't afford Shockey...So whats your point?

Its "Tyrell Sutton Syndrome" all over again. The Huddle takes these low depth chart players that show a spark during training camp and turn them into all pros.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
