Did they sign Barber to be their new ball boy? Maybe it's because I'm just not a fan, but I don't see Barber offering more than on-field distraction while the established RB's mow down the field.
Barber was signed for GTG period. Look at Forte's record near the goal line, it sucked. Taylor wasn't a whole lot better. They hope that Barber will be the barbarian at the goal line.
