Jarrett smartening up


CanadianCat

Recommended Posts

Dwayne Jarrett will arrive in Charlotte a month earlier than required in order to start getting ready for the 2010 season.

The highly disappointing Jarrett sees an opportunity for playing time and also likely wants to make a good first impression on new receivers coach Tyke Tolbert. Still, his play to date inspires no confidence that Jarrett can secure a starting role opposite Steve Smith. The Panthers need to address the wide receiver position in the draft or free agency.

I think one thing that gets over looked is that he is ONLY 23. When I was 23 I needed time to smarten up. Maybe now, cause its now or never

I think a younger WR coach will help.

I agree.

I know he's been in the league long enough, but I really feel it's unfair to judge our receivers based on last year. Jarrett catches just about everything thrown his way, even though he may not be open enough to warrant throwing to all the time.

I'm not saying he's worthy of a No. 2 spot or anything, but I think he's worth keeping around another year as a good possession receiver.

He is going to give his all. This is his last year on his rookie deal and he knows that if he is a bust this year, he will not get paid. Like most players they usually do something in a contract year. Too bad they have to wait for years to actually get it together. It is a good reason why all contracts should be performance based and one year in duration.

    • 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
