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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
