Jarrett Makes Top 5


Recommended Posts

If we can't get enough help we should hold on to him. He has great hands he's just not good at his routes and he doesn't physically dominate corners like he should. I hate to compare him to steve smith because it's almost not fair, but smith is always the one who wants the ball more than the DB. Jarrett is just so lethargic in his routes and cuts.

Now that we have someone who is actually capable of making good enough passes maybe he can improve.

But we can't be fooled by one game, we need a lot of help at WR almost as much as defensive tackle.

I was on the 35, Row 1 and saw that catch right in front of me with my very own eyes and I still can't figure out how he made it. It was a thing of beauty.

To be honest though, the sun shines on even a dog's ass every now and then. So, this was Jarrett's game to shine. The trick that he needs to understand is that he needs to string multiple games like this one together to be considered anything but a bust.

Also, how the heck is the Vike reception not offensive pass interference? If that had been a DB climbing up the other player's back like that, it woulda been PI in a heartbeat. Oh yeah, it's the Vikes.

Santana Moss made a great recovery, but that was a throw he should have caught the first time he had it in his hands.

That catch was nuts.. I know Jarrett is slow and not very quick, but he catches just about everything that is thrown to him.. obviously he is a possession WR, but the coaching staff wants him to be a speed WR or something.. use him to his strengths.. stop forcing him to be something he is not.

They tried to make him one and he didn't work hard enough. He has the frame, leaping ability, and hands of a possesion reciever but that's it. So the potential is there but right now he is just getting by on his merits and it shows. His commitment and work ethic are still at a college level.

I believe in Moore and I believe in Jarrett. With more reps, I'm convinced there will be explosions. Smitty, Moose, Jarrett and K. Moore can still be a solid WR corps when they have a half-way accurate QB, which IMO, Moore is getting betting better at. If you watch closely on the plays where the ball is over-thrown; it's usually away from defenders. I have noticed that he does make good decisions on where to place passes. Crossing routes are placed in front of the receiver and screens are good too. Screens are hard to throw when you're under pressure and that's usually where the screen comes in handy. He just seems so comfortable back there ya know. I hope it lasts.

I think Jake slowed Jarrett's progress down. Matt seemed like he wanted 87' to stay. Loved how he was showing love to the old man.

They're L.A. boys. That makes 4 on our Offense. Might be good for them to all have something in common.

Moore

Kalil

Jarrett

Smitty

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
