Hakeem Nicks, infinitely better than Jarrett

Thats unfair- the Giants THROW the ball to Nicks....

Exactly. Did you see the two easy balls Nicks dropped before the touchdown?

Had Jarrett dropped an easy ball like that, do you honestly think they would keep going back to him? Hell, even if he made the catch, it would probably be his only target of the night.

I know most of the board disagrees with me, but I don't think Jarrett's been given a fair shake.

See I'm torn about the fair shake. I just think he is so bad they don't even bother. A hungry, wr who can ball, would DEMAND the ball and find a way to get it.

To a degree I think you're right. But in a run first offense behind Steve Smith and Moose, one of the best blocking receivers in the league, do you really think they're going to target Jarrett when it comes time to throw the ball up (especially with our quarterback situation)? The answer is not often (and really with good reason).

I don't think Jarrett is the second coming of Moose or anything, but I think he's a lot better than most of the Huddle give him credit for. He seems to do what is asked of him just as much as any receiver on the team.

kinda hard to get the ball thrown to you when you can't get off the line/create separation/make cuts/run good routes but you don't understand any of that all you see is "throw ball catch ball"

Jarrett hasn't hardened into a good pro and he probably never will at this point

a lot of that is his own fault, but Richard Williamson deserves to shoulder some of that blame. we haven't been able to develop a no.2 receiving threat, or any kind of receiving threat at all in years.

agreed with all of the above.

it's time to move forward. jarrett really looked lost today. pretty sad. he came in a blank slate and he'll leave just as blank.

sure someone else might be able to make him into a superstar but i've grown impatient. i don't care at this point. i have no problem letting him be someone else's project.

When you worry more about developing a #3 reciever into a run blocker than a legitimate pass threat, expect nearly every reciever in the leage to put up better stats than your #3 each and every year. Jarrett could have been a damn good reciever with decent coaching, unfortunately he came to Carolina. God willing, a new coaching staff will be able to repair his abilities but I don't think it's possible at this point.

This is why we are 5-8. We are too predictable and set in our ways.

We have four weapons total: Smith, our seldom used TEs, and Double Trouble. That's it. Double Smith, don't let the TEs beat you deep, and stack the box = beat Carolina usually. If we had a QB who could throw it a bit better, and an OC who'd plan to throw it to at least 5 targets regularly, this whole season may have been different.

If it's Jarrett's skill that keeps him on the sideline a lot, fine, cut him. If it's the system you spoke of, we need to change it ASAP.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
