We don't need Shockey

Barnidge has decent potential, but we'll never know until he plays against real competition. Whenever Fox let him on the field (one play per month it seemed) he showed something, but last year was bad for him due to injury.

I'm a big time Barnidge fan, but I'd rather go with a certainty than uncertainty.

well how can you argue with the logic of "it's some other guys fault that he sucks"

12 receptions in 4 seasons. damn you fox

You said it yourself. Last time he caught a pass in a game was 2009...that right there says he never had playing time what so ever. How can someone show their stuff if they can't get on the field.

You really countered your own post. I'd rather a guy get on the field and show he sucks than holding a towel with a ballcap thinking 'What if?'

Besides, the fact he's still around says the Coaching staff sees something in him.

@OP, sure we don't NEED Shockey...but I wouldn't mind having him back.

Barnidge has huge potential and it will be interesting to see what the coaching staff has done to improve his game.

Barnidge essentially has the same build that Olsen does and from what I have seen from Barnidge he really looks like Olsen 2.0.

The only thing that really hurts about losing Shockey is the fact that Shockey has become a great blocking tight end. However, if the Panthers have their eye on a blocking tight end in the draft or if they feel that Ben Hartsock can become the blocking tight end that the Panthers need, then I can't argue.

lol he played 16 games in 2010, started 3 of them. way to completely not know WTF you are talking about

guess that's not enough playing time to notch ONE reception though, huh?

Most of his playing time in 2010 was on special teams

And disregard our receivers numbers in 2010, Clausen was quarterback.

If anyone judges a tight end on anything other than blocking in Fox's scheme then they need to go back and look at how Foxy used the tight ends.

Fox never had a tight end reach 500 yards receiving in his tenure with Carolina. Rivera's first year sees Greg Olsen reaching the 500 yard mark.

You can't judge Barnidge on his past performances in years past when he rarely saw plays directed toward him.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
