Like Smith, Jarrett doesn't want No. 1 spot

A few days ago, Steve Smith made headlines when he said he no longer wanted to be a No. 1 receiver. Now another Carolina Panthers receiver is echoing Smith’s statement.

“Yeah, I heard Steve say that,” said Dwayne Jarrett. "And I don't blame him. I don't want to be a No. 1 receiver either."

This much is evident by Jarrett's tenure in Carolina, in which he has amassed 388 yards in three years with the team. In the last game of the season, Jarrett did catch his first touchdown pass from Matt Moore, inspiring hope in Carolina fans.

Jarrett, however, doesn't anticipate moving up the gameday roster any time soon.

"I've been here three years already," Jarrett said. "I've been the third receiver, the fourth receiver. A lot of Sundays I haven't even been activated. I don't want to be one of those guys who just can't let it go. Just like Carter and Colbert made way for me, I've got to prepare for someone else to come in and take my place."

Most analysts suspect the Panthers will indeed draft a wide receiver, possibly with their first pick. When asked who that might be, Jarrett wouldn't mention any names.

"You just never know who could come in and compete for the fourth or fifth-receiver spot," said Jarrett. "Maybe I'm a little biased, but I'd look at someone out of USC."

When you are Smitty, you can say things like that. When you are so bad that you aren't activated on game day, you better be a little hungrier than that. I had hope, but just lost almost all respect I had left for Jarrett. I hope this was taken out of context and I'm reading too much into it. I really, really hope. Colbert and Drew are the guys you're looking at as paving the way? How's about looking at Muhammed?!?! A guy with a great deal of success with similar attributes. Oh Dwayne, we hardly knew ye.

And if this is a 4/1 joke, VERY well played sir.

Yeah, unlike Smith you don't HAVE the ability to be a #1--not even for teams like Cleveland or San Fransisco.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
