Sorenson's latest: Kenjon Barner deserves a good look


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Take a look at Sorenson's short write-up on Barn Burner

 

“God has blessed me with some talent,” he says. “I was very fortunate to do what I did in college and I’m looking forward to try to do the same here.”

 

 

“He made a cut (Friday) that was pretty impressive,” says Panther coach Ron Rivera. “Right now we haven’t put the things in that we feel will be really conducive to him.

“But what we have seen is his ability to catch the ball, his ability to put stress on linebackers when they’re in coverage and I do like his quickness. The biggest questions will be his protections, his ability to step up and block.”

 

 

 

You can't help but like Barn Burner. He came up humble, and seemingly in a position to always have to prove himself. Well, he is doing an admirable job.  Let's hope he can block effectively so that we can see him on the field more.  Moreover, you gotta like Tauren  Poole also. Seems like The Panthers really have some team spirit going on.

 

“With me, there’s no envy or jealousy,” Poole says after practice Saturday while teammates fill the ice tubs behind him. “He’s looking for a job and I’m looking for a job as well, and we’re trying to put great film out there. Competition is great, man, with all the great backs we have. There’s no animosity. I haven’t done much (as a Panther). But if I can help, I got you."

 

Props to Rivera for the atmosphere.

I don't think that anyone is questioning that. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself, but what the main point is is that perhaps Barner is a player that should have gone way higher than the 6th round, making him a prospect for the greatest value in not only our draft, but the draft---certainly in the conversation depending on how it all pans out.

I just don't think he has the size to ever be an every down back, but he is going to be a guy that is a nightmare in the screen game, the slot, and read option sweeps.

 

If this guy gets space, it is over.  His burst and cutting ability is amazing.

the NFL has changed to where an every-down back isn't needed, nor is it expected. A change of pace is so much better now, especially over just running one guy into the ground.

In 3 years 75% of our roster will be made up of Oregon Ducks. I saw in one of the other threads we are projected to A: be picking in the top 10 again and B: take Mr Black Mamba himself.

None of these things will happen, I'm just sayin. A lot of quackers in the backfield already.

We're gonna draft Kobe Bryant? He seems a little old but maybe he could be like a really tall CB?

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
