Barnidge cut
-
Barn didn't have another 'big' year last season. He's older and not a good blocker. We have other non blocking TE's...we cut the one with the best hands.
Best hands? Not sure about that... I remember a few drops in 2016.... and more double-catches.
Barn was a great story and a great guy. Thanks to a number of circumstances he had a career year in 2015, that, again due to many circumstances, he did not come close to matching in 2016. One side issue was his connect percentage which actually rose in 2016... to 67%.
Did we have a TE with better hands? Small sample size, but yes, we did... Seth. No drops and an 83% connection rate. Time to go with youth...
I wish Barn the best... hope he latches on with a contender... sees the playoffs and even a ring. But he was a one season wonder as a Brown... far from our first... won't be our last.
The whole mentoring thing is overblown. Dogs gonna hunt.
Disagree... there is something to be said for a vet presence "in the room", "on the field"... but it alone is not enough to keep you on a squad.

Really? I guess that's why the best music teachers, science teachers, head coaches, surgeons, carpenters, chefs, pilots, are the ones with no experience?
Mentoring is over rated, for sure, but, learning by example is not. This team is fucked up in more ways that you would think are humanly possible,
You didn't list one profession where strength and aggression are the primary traits.

Playing football. yes, I think it belongs in there. And didn't you have a mentor for your ditch digging career?

And lawyers. Trust me on that one.

Like coaching, mentoring is as effective as the recipient is willing to accept it.
In most sports or even businesses think it might depend on the organization, teacher and pupil and can be very important IF they do it right.
Remember too the young guys want to take old guys' jobs so not everyone may be on-board with the sharing concept in the limited number of professional jobs available AND the big money involved.
Internships and apprentice programs do work and help the young people to assimilate more quickly.

Great guy... journeyman TE who had one career year. Not our first... won't be our last.
