I would make the argument that Drew Carter was good for the role he played. Keary Colbert was excellent in his rookie year, and what happened after that the world shall never know, In retrospect there is no way to justify drafting a kid that ran close to a 4.7, however no one will deny Jarrett offered some upside.

I don't think we've been as bad at WR as some would like to think, Ryne Robinson wasn't brought in to be a major WR for us by any stretch...he was an electrifying kick returner in College and that's what we needed him to be in the NFL.

I think WR is just a hard position to evaluate, just ask the Lions. Wideouts can put up big numbers in college based soley on their athletic gifts. Plus alot of them look better because of the system the run (spread). Same goes with QB. If you don't see them in a prostyle offense it is hard to evaluate their jump to the next level. Or, in Jarretts case, they may just be athletically superior to everyone else they play against, but just don't have the ability to make the next step in the NFL.

While I agree with most of what's been said, I still can't get over how the Panthers overlook college's that crank out the postions that they do.

Finally they go get a Gamecock DB...and look at Captain.

Gamble does ok. Marshall, while I will finally get his chance this season.

Bottom line. Louisville and SC just don't produce offensive players.

If Moose hadn't returned, don't you think Jarrett would have gotten a lot more opportunities last year? He would have started third with Hackett as the number two, and overtaken him mid-season.

He's got talent, but he needs to use it in games and to do that he has to get the opportunities.

from what i've seen/heard, it wasn't that he wasn't on the field, it's that he didn't get open. if you're not open, you're not gonna get fed the ball.

Well you have admit jake throws the ball to Steve smith alot of times when he's not open

Smith has earned that kind of trust because n a tight spot he always fights for the ball (and usually wins).

Would anyone care to argue that Jarrett has earned the same level of trust?

I heard/saw somewhere that Jerry Rice's pro day was a 4.71

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
