Kenjon Barner

[loosebearing]

Patriots.com has Kenjon Barner as CUT on the Roster page. And the roster has 52 players. Don't know if it is accurate - but it could be interesting

Making room for Mr. Peterson?

Only one healthy RB on the roster would be a bold strategy.

It's not accurate. They've had Barner listed as "cut" since October 4th (when Edelman was activated), and completely ignored Barner being re-sign five days later, replacing Cy Jones.

Patriots.com is probably the least reliable source for Pats roster and transaction info. I know that a lot of folks think of it as the "official" source, but it's actually run by Kraft's PR and Media department, NOT by the football guys.

Folks are much better off following Miguel (patscap) on Twitter, and rostermon.com. Hell, even Wikipedia is updated more quickly and accurately than Patriots.com.

Nope. Patriots.com eff'd up. Again.

‘Twas a joke. I highly doubt Peterson is coming here regardless.

Wikipedia is my go to for Patriots info (and everything else...I have one tattoo and it's the W icon). I've been trying for years to convince people the "official roster" is maintained by interns who probably don't even follow football, but no one listens.

Unpaid interns, at that.

It's amazing to me that I can see a tweet about some team cutting a player and about five minutes later, Wiki has the guy listed as a free agent. And the people contributing to Wiki aren't paid, either.

Peterson, Bell, and Moss oh my!

Yep. It's a great system that really does work. The one drawback I know of is sometimes the editors there (like posters here) mistakenly attribute factual authority to whatever Patriots.com says at the time, especially when it comes to position listings for players. I probably complain about the official website thing more on Wikipedia than I do here actually.

Im sure there are players checking Wiki daily if they are still on the team

Better that than Patriots.com. Obviously, Barner doesn't use Patriots.com, since he keeps showing up for work.

But we shouldn’t let common sense prevent a 1000 post mega-thread on the topic.

Common sense is all too uncommon here. Actually, everywhere these days.

Well since we have this thread I'll just say he looked surprisingly good running the ball. Had some really good pop, closer to Dion than James when it comes to running style but I'm actually really comfortable with him taking 10-20 snaps a game.

(makes mental note to update our own roster tonight...)

He looked fine. Nothing special, but good enough to handle the load for a few games.

I like Barner.
