NOTW Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Today a lot of fans were hating Barnett for the penalty, saying he sucks and no good. Probably just GDT emotion. Last week people said his 1 play in the Super Bowl alone made picking him worth it. Graham is out so now, Barnett is the more experienced starter. The question to you: how do you feel about Barnett?

Godfather Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'm the biggest Barnett fan on this board. With that said I'm ready to move on and let Kerrigan take over for Graham and let one of these young guys back him up. It's obvious he's gone after this year. Get something for him now while you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleJoe8 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Will always be grateful for his contributions to LII, especially being in the right place at the right time after BG's strip sack on Brady, but we also can't let personal biases cloud our judgement. Overall, he is a JAG IMO, and also a penalty liability. Ready to move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southparkeagles Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Declining returns. He’s the most undisciplined player on the team. We can’t afford to bench him, but his brain dead penalties are exhausting and costly. I don’t know the remedy, but whoever, if anyone, is getting in his face about it, it’s not working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonblood Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 He constantly plays hot headed, stupid football and makes stupid plays all the time. Huge disappointment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_irie1 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I would want to get rid of him TODAY by any means necessary if BG didn't get hurt. Tired of his only contributions to the games being negative ones. Unfortunately we will have to depend on this guy to play major minutes going forward. Hope he can make some plays and prove me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seengreen Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 When will he of all players learn? He is a walking personal foul. Refs look for it. We have come to expect it. That isn't good either way you stack it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 We all love Graham, but if Milton Williams can step up the way many hope, a Kerrigan/Williams platoon won't leave anyone missing much from Graham except his personality, leadership, and trash talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a flag waiting to happen who doesn't get the sacks and plays to warrant us putting up with those bone headed flags. He's not gotten a long term deal because he just isn't that good. Is he decent? Yeah he's average at least but I wouldn't be upset if they just let him walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlo Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The guy has no discipline. Cost his team a real shot at winning when they caught a break. Absolutely no excuse for that cheap shot after the play was over. Can't stand him. Looking forward to next year when he's gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t underestimate his contributions to stopping the run. Graham is a great run defending DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was one of a few plays that ultimately cost this team. Of course there are bigger and more obvious plays but this played a real part no doubt.

pallidrone Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 He is a dirty player. Happy with what he did in the Super Bowl, but can't wat till he is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_west3 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 He's slow as hell too. He played the reverse play perfectly but just got ran by with ease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz! Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Barnett consistently delivers some of the most bone-jarring hits this defense has produced over the last few years. Hopefully one day he'll make one before the play is blown dead. I don't know, maybe it's just wishful thinking. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychodog Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The guy never makes a play.....other than the boneheaded variety. Never been impressed with him. There are plays he literally just takes off and provides no effort. He's a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20dawk4life Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 He’s a good rotational pass rusher. He’s out of position a lot on running plays and is a flag machine. Thanks for the fumble recovery but bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20dawk4life Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I’d rather use a high pick, ours or dolphins on this guy below and he end up a bust than bring back Barnett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 The 2017 draft was supposed to be a deep corner draft and corner was a desperate position of need for the Eagles. So by taking Barnett in the 1st and thinking they could get good corners later, IMO set the expectation that this DE better be damn worth it, a player you just can't pass up in the 1st. Then they go and draft injured Sydney Jones who will sit a year, and then Douglas. Both did almost nothing then were cut. RB was another position of need and a deep class so they take a pee wee football player in Pumphrey. What a terrible draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grump99 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I want him to play lights out for the rest of the season. So we can get a decent comp pick after his ass is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I can confidently say that if the Eagles are in the top 5 of the draft with their pick, it will be for a QB. If the Eagles are decent and the Dolphins pick is top 5 then I can see a non-QB selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
