Really? Cause I don't recall seeing Barnidge on the field at all except special teams.

Same thing with Jeff King his rookie year and Rosario his rookie year as well. Fox always red shirts his rookie TE's then they get them more involved the year after. Barnidge is almost certain to move ahead of Rosario on the debth chart this year and there is a decent chance Rosario will be cut.

this is one area that fox really does sit the rookies or make them take a back seat. rosario got more action his rookie year because of what he could do in the passing game but last year after the first couple games he saw a pretty significant drop in opportunities. i'm looking for stats on the year but as of week 14 he had 6 false starts which was the most for any non-oline player in the league. i think he screwed up some blocking assignments as well.

i think king is pretty set as the #1 but i see a pretty open competition between barnidge and rosario. i don't see them cutting either one outright. i could see a trade for rosario happening, though.

It wouldn't suprise me if Brock is being groomed to be King's eventual replacement, since he'll be a unrestricted FA next year. If Brock can develop and benefits from a year on the PS, he could be an upgrade to King with his blocking and receiving ability. He could be an Antonio Gates-type TE for us if the coaching staff takes the time to develop him and help him reach his enomorous potential.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
