I Think Barnidge Should Get A Chance...

Maybe it's just my timing. But every TC I see Barnidge making big plays. I keep saying if he gets a chance with a decent QB it could pay dividends. I guess I'm in the minority but I think we should not bring Shockey back and give Barndige a chance. I know he got hurt last year so that's a moot point but he seems to imo to have much bigger game breaking potential than the current Jeremy Shockey. I do think Shockey is a better TE but not by that much anymore. Anyone else agree?

I don't think he's incapable. I just don't think there's reason to believe other wise.

Of course he's going to get a chance. What makes you think otherwise?

Yep...have to deliver it on the field. He has not shown this in the past, but that is probably due to the scheme that Fox ran with the TE. He definitely has the size, speed, and athleticism to be a real weapon. Also, he did flash that in TC last year.....so I am anxious to see what he can do.

He is getting one...training camp hasn't even started. Hes under contract, whats the problem?

I think if Shockey is brought back that it would not be a fair chance so to speak. Shockey is a veteran, has name recognition and probably will make 3-5 times as much as Barnidge. I know coaches say best player on the field etc.etc but other factors have to be taken into consideration.

I disagree. Yes they want Shockey back, but barnidge is MUCH younger and will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on this team this season and beyond. I firmly believe that.

If Shockey is brought back, why would we be thinking about Barnidge?

I agree, I got a little slack from a few huddlers when I said that I thought Barnidge was just as good as Shockey, as far as his pass catching ability, without the experience and nastiness.

      Miserable in all phases of the game

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I know its Payton but he knows football...Dipper ran him off when we had a chance...we need people like this that can evaluate talent.... 'Nix was selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round (12th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft.[33] Nix initially drew the interest of Broncos head coach Sean Payton due to his high completion rate and low negative play differential in college, in addition to an impressive performance in private workouts'. Pretty simple... I bet he threw for coach too.

      If they trade Dowdle…

      By hepcat · Posted

      I swear I’ve seen the writing on the wall since Chuba come back that Dowdle is going to be traded. He is flat out a harder and faster runner than Hubbard and made the offense move better than Chuba, gained more yards per carry and willed the Panthers to victory with two massive performances. But for some inane reason, the coaching staff hasn’t let Dowdle continue his hot streak. There have been trade rumors and I feel like if the Panthers get a mid round pick in return the Panthers will take it. They drafted Etienne and Hubbard is on a big contract. It makes no sense, he’s looked better than any other Panthers player on the offense this year, but he’s not getting playing time with Hubbard back and it seems he’s being shopped for trade.  This team is just infuriating sometimes and it’s no secret why every year they seem to struggle.

      How dumb is Canales?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      1) The decision to try to trot the FG team on the field to kick a field goal before halftime was completely ridiculous. You are down 16. The offense can come back to the line faster just line up and take another shot.    2) Whatever in the hell this Rico/Chuba thing is sucks. Everyone from the huddle to the media to random other fans on X are in disbelief. Chuba either isn’t what we thought he was or he has lost a step. I’m almost positive the FO doesn’t want to look stupid for paying him and / or Canales doesn’t have the courage to tell him he’s number 2.
