MrEpsYtown Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 There is something to be said for a guy who just won a Super Bowl and was returning kicks in that game. Could be an interesting #3 change of pace, special teams guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, how do these people contain their excitement for a 29 year old back up RB? It's not like they haven't brought in another old back up RB from Carolina before who flopped. Or traded for a Carolina WR who they ended up cutting and who went back to Carolina. Why would anyone not get excited for another Carolina pick up? Just now, Dr. Who said: I also figure older rbs have blitz pickups and blocking responsibilities down pretty well. Barring injury, I'd be pretty surprised if he's the 3rd down RB.

But running backs over 28 tend to have durability issues, if they sign Barner it's a good thing might as well have a stable back there of experience.

Mat68 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Could compete for return man. Basically, the same guy as Tawain Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we expect Barner to supplant Shady or something? If he improves the roster, good. He'll be a 3rd/4th back that can return kicks, or at worst, a camp body. But people act like familiarity with a player is a bad thing. I don't see it as a GM doing a favor for a friend, but rather bringing in a player that he knows a lot about to try and improve the roster.

In other words you want to say something obvious that applies to 100% of NFL GM's but want to frame it as something extra. Even the retrospectively bad Buddy Nix.......supposedly asleep during FA.......was constantly tinkering with the roster. He plucked a lot of solid long time NFL players off waivers and other teams PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought fresh legs were needed in the backfield every season but this FO and staff doesn't seem to like RBs under 30 I would imagine the idea is since we are going with a young and/or inexperienced QB, they want a vet RB in the backfield with him. At least I hope that's what they are thinking as I too prefer younger RBs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he play with Shady at Philly ps i have made note that we need aguy who plays shady style ball. and Ivory is a great change of pace. But Barner can spell Shady with similar play calls in place perhaps ? had hoped for younger talent in that role , but watevz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
