Why I would not worry about Barner's ball security

The fact that he changed his running style is huge. It means that he works on his weaknesses and is coachable.

 

The first fumble was due to a hit from behind.  I am willing to bet that has never happened to him.

 

The second fumble was based on eagerness; he reached for the ball-Clausen was a bit slow getting it to him. 

 

I did not see a ball-carrying issue, such as holding the ball away from to body to run.

 

By the way--this is unrelated---I am watching the end of the Jags / Phins game, waiting for NFL Network's 10 AM presentation of Panther/Bears,  and I have to say that the Jags not only have the worst team in the NFL, they have the UGLIEST uniforms I have ever seen.

Uhhhh I think he's been hit from behind before. The first one was inexcusable. The defender got a hand on the ball, but did not really hit it with much force. I would say it was a combination of nerves and sloppiness, though I'm not sure he's used to running between the tackles so much (at Oregon he bounced most of his runs outside it seemed).

That was my suprise with the first fumble as it was just a defender reaching for it with little force(in NFL terms) and popped it out.)

I am not worried unless we see it happen again...rookie mistakes and first game action is normal and the Bears are exceptional at stripping the ball.

He showed enough playmaking ability to see he will be dangerous and can contribute with limited touches.

Why I'm not worried...

 

One, he's a rookie who's adjusting to the level of competition and probably had rookie nerves in his first pro game.

 

Two, he did fine after that first strip, and fumble number two looked to be on Clausen.

 

Three...

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
