i would like to see more receivers catching passes....i think everyone would....i hate that hackett keeps getting activated over jarrett.....hackett never catches anything and rarely even gets opportunities to do so...jarrett at least brings size to the table....i guess the coaches feel he is still not ready to be given more opportunities

anyways...my point is not that jarrett should start over hackett.....i just want to know why more people arent catching passes.....is it jake??? i know a lot of people think that.... a lot of people say he only looks for smith.....is it the play calling???? is davidson not making a greater effort to call plays that get others involved???? is it that other receivers arent getting open???? WHAT IS IT!!!????

anybody have thoughts on the subject????

I'm not going to pretend that I know everything, so I don't have an answer for that, but Jake does have a knack for relying on Smitty way too much, and it seems that he's been doing it a whole lot lately. As long as he realizes soon that this sh*t doesn't fly in the playoffs, all will be forgiven. :)

I will be the first to say that Jake does watch Smitty for too long on some plays, this happens IMO because basically all the pass plays are designed around him for the most part, I have seen Rosario,Barnidge and more WIDE on some plays and Jake just has his eyes glued to 89.

And Mega I didn't mean on a personal level, you can't say Jake dosen't look for him, they threw a bomb to him on the first play, he can be just as big of a part of this offense as Smitty.

I'm pretty sure that play to Moose was just written up like that, so it really wasn't a decision during play, but executing a flea-flicker to Moose. He was spreading the ball around early this season and even when Smitty came back, but all of sudden he's been looking smith's way too much. I think he relied on Smitty to help get him out of his funk after the bye, and never looked back.

Y'all can argue with mega all you want, but he does have a point. Jake does lock on Smitty VERY often.

im not arguing with him....im not sure what the answer is....but how do we know that jake is locking onto smitty? i know it seems that way since smith puts up all of the numbers...but since we dont know the plays, how can we tell where jake wants to go with the ball when he drops back??

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
