Either Fox/the OC are dumb, or Jarett is even dumber

I already started a thread about the misuse of Rosario, and the TEs in general), and was kind of placated by the fact that they just may be incorporated into the regular flow of the game this year, as opposed to being forgotten like they basically have been in years past (according to eye witnesses at the workouts).

Now, I ask, is Jarrett just not able to grasp the play book after 3 years? Is he that immature and ill-prepared to be an impact player in the NFL (much like Keary Colbert)? Or, is he not being given the opportunity to really get out of the John Fox dog house for his past shortcomings in reference to his work ethic? I mean, all the reports were saying that he finally gets it, but after the first couple of games, we are asking ourselves where the hell he is at? It would seem that he would be our featured receiver during this pre-season, so I am thinking that the coaches are confident in his readiness, just misusing him, or believe that he is just a big screw up. Either way, I am hoping that we will have the answer to this question after the first few games.

Jarrett can't ever get open, gets no separation at all play after play. When do you ever remember seeing him get wide open?

I don't think that has anything to do with his grasp of the playbook or how the coaching staff is using him. Still early though, I don't put too much stock into preseason, whether it be good or bad.

#3 reciever will never be heavily used in our scheme. All he is needed for is as a reserve body in case one of the two starters goes down. If he makes the field, all he needs to do is occupy one defender and he does just fine with that.

Having said that, Robinson and Moore look like much greater threats at reciever and if they continue to impress, especially in the next few weeks, then they could very easily supplant Jarrett.

Doing fine against your own players is different than another team

Its only been two games, but he looked better last year than so far. He looks bigger and slower this year. Last year he didn't get enough chances because this offense dont want to put Jake in the shotgun and let him pass the ball around. I guarantee we do that, Jake doubters would rarely be found

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
