i'm with you on what jarret showed in the one catch he had. he seems to do that a lot.

i think his usage in sunday's game has a lot to do with the no-huddle that i've seen discussed in a lot of accounts of the game. jake talked about how both moose and smitty are able to work out of the split end and flanker positions in the no huddle, because they've both been doing it so much.

one of these days we're going to have to throw to jarret more than 2 times a game, just to see if we can't luck into a TD or 80 yards or something along those lines.

How about the play where the ball just went right through his hands? That showed me a lot of ball that he didn't possess...

Smitty lost one in the lights during the same game. Can't argue w/ the fact when he is thrown to he catches at a higher rate than any other WR in Carolina.

Throw it to this guy more often.

That play where he refused to go down showed a lot of strength that I didn't know he possessed.

does one play really say anything? smith got handled by some falcons cb on a one on one (think it was houston) are we gonna sit here and say smith is weak and lacks strength?

i think we need to use 3 receivers though, tight ends and fullbacks get too much action in our offense

I think you kind of made both points. 1 bad play doesn't say much, just as one good play doesn't say much. Which is why he needs more reps.

Jarrett- 17 targets- 2 drops- 66% completion rate-26.7% first downs

Moose- 49 targets- 1 drop- 61% competion rate- 36.7% first downs

Technically Jarrett has caught a higher percentage than Moose but as for lack of drops, first down percentages and impact in the game- Moose is much better. I will take his 30 catches over Jarrett's 9 anyday especially given the higher first down percentages You would expect it the other way around given that Jarrett comes in on third down and almost all throws to him are an attempt to get a first down.

And no I don't think that Jarrett would keep that high of a percentage if he played more often.

jarrett or any other WR not named smith or moose has no shot of doing anything as long as jake is behind center and calling the plays.

That is because Moose and Smitty have earned it. Quarterbacks need chemistry with their wide receivers and Jarrrett likely doesn't have it yet with Jake. You can't fault your quarterback because he throws to guys who have shown they come through when needed instead of a new guy who is largely unproven.

If you only throw 20-25 times a game and he is the fourth or fifth receiver and you throw to tight ends and backs as well, how many targets do you actually think he should get??

my point was, people are being critical of the guy, and he hasn't played much, which isn't his fault. Thats all im saying.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
