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.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
