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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
