This is Barnetts' team

Barnett looked solid but anyone on this board would've looked solid yesterday with the bulldozers up front doing a hell of a job. Both lines played as well as they have all year and it showed in the box score.

However...he's done in two games what Jantz couldn't - protect the football.

he did fumble for the second time in 2 games. he was just lucky enough to fall right back on it again.

That fumble was off the zone read and JB had daylight all the way to the endzone if he didn't bungle the handoff.

For his first start JB played solid. Still lots of room for improvement. I don't know how JB will play when the other team shuts down the zone read but he does seem to be accurate on those short to intermediate routes. He does tend to float balls in there though which gets scary.

Barnett appears to have a calming effect on the team.....which is a good thing
