Will Jarrett make the cut?

With all these people being cut, I was honestly surprised that I didn't see his name mentioned.

Do you think he'll be kept around because of our lack of WR depth and the fact he's dirt cheap(and maybe the final game last year had some impact on it..) ?

had it not been for smith getting hurt jarrett probably might have been cut although he is only under contract for one more year and the $$ left on it isn't much.

that last game was huge for him and it gave him a chance to really compete next year. it gave him reason for some confidence in himself and, more importantly, reason for the team, the future QB, and the coaching staff to have some confidence in him.

we'll see him stepping up a whole lot more this year. hopefully he takes time to work in the offseason with matt and the other receivers. the new playbook should have some more work for him. he has a lot of strengths and ways that he can be used. not much in YAC but making the big catch will be something really useful. he has some nice hands and size and he is really tough in catching and keeping the ball.

i'm anxious to see what he can do. i wouldn't have said that before that last saints game but i believe it now. he can be good for us.

I was going to post something similar to this..

Anyways, I know people are not high on Jarrett but I honestly think he will play a lot better with Moore then he would've with Jake. I think Moore is better at spreading the ball round so I think this is Jarrett's year to shine.

exactly, if Jake had been a better QB Jarrett could have lready been a star but now in the last year of his contract he will finally get to showcase his talent and with our luck not want to play for us anymore, I know I wouldnt want to if a team with a lack of depth at WR actually deactivated me:icon_bs:

We'll keep him because he's on his last year of the rookie contract, but nabbing your first TD (barely) against Saints back-ups isn't worth a damn. But if we don't bring in a solid FA WR, and our draft pick doesn't grasp the game right away...he'll be the #2. That scares me.

why does it scare you??? He great hands and catches anything and everything coming his way regardless of the coverage. Had he gotten more PT he would have a poo load of TD's if you base his production off of TD's

Jarrett was impressive playing behind Kenny Moore, hauling in a one-handed grab down the sideline and beating Pierson Prioleau over the middle on his 30-yard score. He still does not get enough separation consistently to be strongly considered for a starting job in 2010.

That's why it scares us.

neither does Moose or even Keyshawn Johnson, but they get open right??? even if he doesnt have 3 steps on a db if he catches it thats all that matters right??? wouldn't that make him better if he can catch it with a db draped all over him??? our team seems to want a big WR oppisite of Smith and I cant say I agree with it, but it works and with Moore spreading the ball around mark my words, if we keep him, he will be a star:coolgleamA:

Jarret is only 23 and he is going into his 4th year and i like the fact that he has a lot of experence and is still younger then some rookies. if the panthers give him a chance i think he will be really good and can be a stating WR. he is a big WR and has good hands and i hope the panthers give him a year to prove himself

      Quarterbacks vs Lottery Tickets

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Quoted rom one of the many Bryce threads... Wanted to reply to this, but since my answer turned into a go route (i.e. went long) I thought I'd put it in a separate thread. So here's my take on the names mentioned above (and others) ... Lance was a prototypical "take an athlete and teach him to play quarterback" example who now serves as an example of why that's a bad idea. Worth remembering that Lance was given to a coach heralded as a QB guru with a friendly system. In the end though, even that potentially ideal situation wasn't enough. And the fact those events were followed up by said guru taking his team to the Super Bowl with a QB who went undrafted helps bolster the folly.of that approach. But then you have Wilson, an actual quarterback with off the charts passing skill. This guy's sure to succeed, right? Well...wrong, which demonstrates that even the right skill set doesn't guarantee success.  Could Wilson have succeeded in a better situation under better coaching? Unknown, but it's a question I find myself asking a lot. (See also: Levis, Will) Rosen falls into the Ryan Leaf / Ryan Mallet category, i.e. don't hand the keys to your billion dollar franchise over to a dickhead. Character matters, and not strictly in the 'upright citizen vs thuggish criminal ' way. (I could add maybe don't draft guys with the first name 'Ryan' unless they went to Harvard, and even then only in the 7th round) Darnold is another guy who likely could have benefited from a better situation / coaching (see also Carr: David). Heck, it also might have helped to send him to The Wizard and have him ask for "da noiv", or perhaps to Egon Spengler and company to chase away any and all "ghosts". Sending him to Matt Rhule? 😬 Yeah...definitely not the answer 😕 But hey, at least he's doing better now. (ttill playoff time, anyway) Mind you, Drew Brees does serve as proof that guys who land in less than ideal - or just flat out lousy - situations early on can indeed resurrect their careers later on in better surroundings. Will Darnold go that far? Unknown, but we do know it's possible. Kenny Pickett (also known by the X-Men moniker 'Littlehand') is that proverbial great college quarterback who for one reason or another just doesn't cut it in the pros.  (gotta say, feels like the past several drafts have put forth a lot of that particular QB archetype) Mac Jones could arguably carry this label as well, though I'm waiting to see how things play out in San Francisco. For now, Jones might be a better example of why you should always be cautious and skeptical of guys from certain systems. Justin Fields is a cell in that spreadsheet column, as is Kyler Murray. Now I'm sure someone here will mention another certain quarterback we're all quite familiar with as a prime example of this subset too 😐 Fair point, though I think he, Murray and Tagovailoa work better under the heading of "Davids". What's a David? It's a guy you send to battle against a "Goliath". And by all means, bet on that guy if he's a shepherd.  If he's a quarterback, though? 🤔 Root for him, encourage him, appreciate his courage and be inspired by him... ...but don't draft him. The return on investment might be a great story, but it's not likely to be one that involves championships and rings. ... Bottom Line? You've no doubt heard this saying "this ain't rocket science".  Well, I'd argue saying "this ain't quarterback evaluation" might truly make a better negative metaphorical comparison. At least with rocket science, it's science. You're working with things that have some level of consistency, even predictability. Stuff like chemistry, physics, metallurgy, etc. Human beings?  Specifically young male athletes with massive amounts of ego and testosterone who've been heavily catered to a lot of their lives and have now been handed large sums money and a portal to fame... Yeah, good luck with thatb😖 Heck, you might get better odds buying a Powerball ticket, or perhaps playing a roulette wheel at a Vegas casino.

      The sad part is Williams led the league in rushing tds as well with like 18 and didn't even make the pro bowl that season.  Too bad it all ended in Jake's epic collapse

      Moehrig named nfc defensive player of the week

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah. He talked about using him that way and I forget the term. Maybe nickel LB? Ike have to watch it again.    If you look at the video it is maybe 2/3 through where talks about him and also CSW.
