Do you have faith in Dwayne Jarrett's ability to step up next season?

Has there ever in the history of the NFL been a player that has been considered a "bust" in the league that was only 23 years old, that all the sudden turned it around and revived their careers when given another opportunity?

I think so.

Not saying Jarrett will be one of those who can/will turn his career around, but when thrown the ball he has shown flashes of being a talented WR, most recently the 30 yard TD catch in January vs. the Aints. IMO, he deserves a chance to show what he can do in 2010 with Moore under center full time. Once again, not saying he will turn it around and become a Pro Bowl WR, but the possibility is definitely there.

I think the problem is he only was thrown to about 6 times with jake under center.... I saw his show great skills in the final 3 games. I'd say he could be big.

He will be FINE if we add another game breaker speedster across from Smith. Let Dwayne play his game short medium and crossing routes. The dude is tall as a TE.

SPEED WR IN THE 2nd!!!!!!

agree. get a speed guy and you've got a jarrett as a possession guy, and the option to move steve smith to the slot... even a mediocre performance by him and a rookie and we'll be vastly improved from last year's passing game.

He only played in one game out of those three lol

but I see what you're saying.

I think the main thing is he really hasn't been allowed to show what he can do because the coaching staff seems to have the same opinion of him that they had of Moore. And we all know what a trainwreck it was when Moore got the opportunity to show what he can do!

If he were on any other team in the league, he'd get trashed. But just because he's a Panther people still cut him slack. 33 catches in three years. There is a reason for it, and it has nothing to do with Fox's stubborn ways.

You're right, his lack of playing time has more to do with Jake refusing to throw to anyone not named Steve Smith or Muhsin Muhammad.

    • I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.
    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
