I think it is a combo of Jarrett and the offense. He has never been given a real chane to grow as a player. He never has been given a legit shot to prove anything. Without legit reps and then opportunity...he will never grow or gain confidence. He might get in for 3 snaps and is never looked. He made plays last year. I have seen him get open in the preseason.....shots just aren't taken in his direction imo. It is a combo of things imo.

:iagree:

i dont think he, or any other number 3 WR, will really ever emerge as anything much with the type of offense Carolina runs.

Can't say I saw any balls thrown his way yesterday.
targeted once. got 9 yards. other than that not much of a factor.

the 3rd receiving option needs to be a TE and they need to be used more frequently.

rosario wasn't targeted until the 3rd quarter. that was stupid.

barnidge wasn't targeted at all.

points (well, yardage) left on the board.

Uhmm..looking at it that way...I was about 2.2 seconds in the 40 yd. dash from being a world class receiver. That and I didn't really care for getting hit....or practicing 8 months out of the year.....or keeping my weight down.....and I had hard hands.....and a hard head....

i was thinking about this yesterday. is he making himself stand out enough in practice to be worthy of looks on gameday or if it's the combo of the offensive approach and delhomme's mancrush on focusing on smitty at all costs. i can't remember a number 3 having any big inclusion in this offense since the emergence of #89 as well as the run first thinking. at the end of the day, fox is uber-loyal to vets and i can't help but think if jarrett was in atlanta, green bay, new orleans or any other offense that has a balanced qb at the helm if he wouldn't already be a solid #2 in the league.

idk, people make this argument a lot about our players, but who leaves our team and really gets any better than they were with us? Drew Carter, Colbert, Deshaun Foster, etc were out of the NFL shortly after leaving us.

Yeah, Jarrett was a higher pick, but I doubt this guy will ever be the player he was expected to be.

all of those guys were given reps and opportunity to prove their worth....they looked like garbage. Jarrett hasn't been given legit reps to prove if he really does indeed suck. In limited time imo his hands look to be better than a lot of guys that have come through town.

I think alot of it has to do with the fact that he's not being thrown to. I mean yea he's not all pro and he doesn't get off the line that great but if the panthers can scheme a game plan to get Rosario 96 yds receiving they sure as hell could do it for Jarrett. The ball isn't being spread around like it should be. It was better yesterday, we actually saw Jake throw to flats. And I will admit that Delhomme played really well yesterday but the offense would be much more effective we could get Jarrett, Barnidge and Rosario the ball. And I don't think all of that has to do with the game plan, Jake simply isn't seeing the other targets, or isn't willing to throw to them. The only other target he really seems trust besides Smith, the RBs and Moose, is King and King seldom gets the ball.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.

      Because he's from Charlotte, grew up a Panthers fan, and could still make amazing money as an elite LG for his hometown team. And while I think he's a quality starting LT, he's not a Top 5 type of player either.  If he could prove to be a true elite LG, the money might not be that different than what he could make as a LT anyways. I'm not saying he will, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities.
