End the speculation- Dwayne Jarrett isn't the problem.

In the beginning I was sceptical. and i gave the benefit of the doubt several times, but nearing the halfway mark of the season, Everyone should realize that we have so much talen on this team that is being held back by 3 men (for the most part). John Fox, Jeff Davidson, and Jake Delhomme are screwing this team over. and I think Dwayne Jarrett has the ability to step up and play opposite Steve Smith. I keep seeing flashes, but that all. The play distribution and play-calling are off. and the play at QB just plain sucks. I can't see how anyone can keep defending these dirtbags.

He was wide open on the last pick Jake threw, had his man beat in one on one coverage by several steps FWIW. As a matter of fact that was a common theme for DJ today, he routinely beat his man and found holes in the zone to sit down in. Jake rarely looking his way was also a common theme unfortunately.

With Smith being doubled, and Muhsin on the other side, and two friggin' targets, you surely don't expect us to believe that Jarrett has had an opportunity to flourish. All of us have been watching Jarrett for the past season and a half wondering why he hasn't been involved in the flow of the offense, and I'm sorry, dude, the problem just can't be him. We all have seen the guy make key catches (even though they amount to a handful's worth during the season).

Anybody that is blaming the problem with Jarrett is misdirecting the true blame for his lack of production. And, we all have an inkling, as to what/who the real problem is. I am not saying that he is a superstar or even a WR2 in the making, all I am saying is that I really don't have a justifiable amount of work to make a reasonable judgment.

Jarrett is NOT the problem.

Lol, Dwayne Jarrett is awful. No heart, no passion, terrible route runner, fails to get separation, can't catch. Yeah, sounds like a break-out player in the making to me.

most of the offense is awful because Jake Delhomme isn't capable of being a starting QB in this league without throwing the ball to the other team. any other QB that isn't Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, or Tom Brady, would be pulled after playing like Delhomme is. he's one of the nicest people in the world, but hes playing like garbage. not 1 game w/o a pick? Not one!

He's averaging over 2 interceptions a game.

Delhomme being horrible doesn't preclude Jarrett from also being horrible.

Bust-o-rama.

how is he supposed to look good? Steve Smith will always look good because hes a top 5 reciever in this league. Dwayne Jarrett may never live up to his expectations coming out of college, but Jake at QB, you just can't tell.

It doesn't matter who the QB is, you can still evaluate a player's route running, work ethic, ability to get separation, run blocking, ect. Well at least I can, you guys seem to be having some problems.

And hate to break it to you but Smitty isn't a top 5 WR anymore.

But don't let me interrupt, back to your Jake bashing...

I'm not defending Jake.

Jarrett looking bad has little to do with Jake, though. If Jake were in top form, Jarret would have more catches, but not many. He would be scraping along with a catch or two a game, tops, because he's slow, runs lazy routes and doesn't really seem to give a crap. He's as slow as Moose is and he's in his early 20's.

He's a really skinny TE.

Bust-o-rama.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
