So shockey or Tolbert?

I think we really miss a 2nd good TE.

It can be effective with Cam running it but not EVERY DAMN RUN... NFL defenses are fast and they figure poo out quick. Use it more sparingly and for gods sake use JStew, he is an absolute beast. I know he's been dinged but he can break out if we don't give up on the run. Once JStew starts banging inside, it'll open the outside for DWill and Cam.

I agree it doesn't need to be the focus.

I notice other teams doing it this year. Is it a fad or something?

What other teams have you seen doing it? I honestly don't recall... but we may not be watching the same games...

I'm pretty sure that we're doing it way, way more than we did last season, and I'm not really sure why.

Niner's & skins are doing it but we saw it a few times last night from the Texans (I think)

Tolbert is better than Shockey, but we were much better at utilizing Shockey. Shockey is a psychopath and injury prone so I would take Tolbert either way.

I like what those squads are doing. They have Coryell style offenses in place with their own option packages fused in...and they use them wisely. The way the 49ers are integrating Kaepernick makes our former guys in Greg Roman & Harbaugh look quite the smart offensive minds.

How are we not utilizing Tolbert properly? Is he supposed to drop MORE passes than he does?

[Riverboat Ron]

Why doesn't Hurney use a time machine and go back and move up in the 2nd in 2010 and draft Gronkowski over Clausen? Are you even trying Hurndog?

[panthers04100]

2 tight end offense with smith lafell and one back worked great last year. So why the fug have they decided to change it all up.

[panthers04100]

We don't need Tolbert there's no point in him being on this team

[Anybodyhome]

But you guys are missing the biggest intangible Shockey brought to the team. And anyone who attended a Panther home game last year saw it all the time.

The first guy to meet Cam on the sideline when he came out of the game was Shockey, The guy who stood next to Cam the entire time they were on the sidelines was Shockey. Whenever an offensive timeout was called and Cam was meeting with Shula, Shockey was standing right next to him. Cam never had an opportunity to go sit on the bench when Shockey was around because he kept him on the sidelines and kept him engaged. TV timeouts, between quarters it was always Shockey.

I always thought the guy was a head case, too, but he showed some real maturity and leadership last season with Cam.

Thank you for your expert analysis regarding our #2 TE position!

According to everybody on here Gary Barnidge was supposed to take over nicely...

[Iceberg Slim]

I'd take Tolbert, I agree with others, we aren't using him right.
