Barnidge Apparently Not Injured

[Mr. Scot]

he's like dwayne jarrett in a way, good enough to bring back every year just hasn't worked out yet. If he can't succeed with the guy who made gates a star then he just isn't cut out for the NFL. I think there is certainly potential there though.

I get what you mean (always hyped, has yet to show up) but I'd hesitate comparing him to Jarrett, Jarrett's problems were a result of his own lack of work ethic.

The Tolbert signing basically means we're moving away from that

Not necessarily.

A Coryell type system works best when you have a credible run game. Tolbert bolsters that.

[PantherPhann89]

i think he will. all he's needed is a coaching staff that knows how to use TEs as more than blockers and to be healthy. this year is his first chance at it. between him and tolbert we should have shockey's production more than made up for.

Yeah, Chud's scheme should bring out the best in Barnidge and having Tolbert should take the edge off.

thank you for not immediately associating the comparison to Jarrett with something negative. I know it's a hot name but that's the best I can think of outside of Drew Carter, or maybe Jamal Robertson? lol

How about Dante Rosario?

How about Dante Rosario?

Dante got a decent amount of playing time. Barney hasn't seen the field that much, outside of special teams

[Mr. Scot]

Valid, but the comparison he was looking for is someone who was continually expected to "break out" but never actually did.

You could make an argument for Jeff King fitting that profile, honestly.

I gotcha and I agree, but Dante had chances to prove his value more so than Barnidge.

Barnidge is a real enigma to me.

My general read? He needs to show something quick. Rivera is a lot of things, but I'm not sure "patient" is one of them.

I think the coaches seen something in him early on in mini camp and I think he would have made an already full TE corp...but yeah, he won't last long if he doesnt step up this season.

here's a couple big plays

Imagine Cam throwing him the ball

lol 2 games?

is that what everybody is hyped up about?

you forgot the occasions when he did absolutely nothing while being thrown to, which came much more often

[Car123]

This is actually Barnidge's first year of expecting to break out

In past years he was 3rd on the depth chart

What?

He hardly was thrown the ball to

before kffl's utilization stats for 2009 expired i did research this and he did have games where he was targeted and didn't do anything. his pass catch rate as a matter of fact was nothing extraordinary. I know there's this gigantic misconception that he's hauled in every single one of Jake's 12 pass attempts to him for his career but it's far from the truth.

[frash.exe]

oh yeah, taye biddle. forgot all about about our next star wide receiver.

that reminds me-there was this one dude we had in camp one year (i think either 2009 or 2010) who was supposedly just killing it. like there were several people on this board who were convinced he had a chance at beating out either muhammad or jarrett for the #2 wideout spot. i remember reading the live tweets and updates from camp and not a single practice went by where he wasn't hauling in highlight reel catches allegedly. then the preseason rolled around and he barely did anything and was cut. i think his name was something henderson. it's been driving me crazy.

dude, and it's like every single year since he was drafted

if i could make a huddle scrub hype team barnidge and rosario would be fighting for TE1
