To put Jarrett in perspective

[Chimera]

Dwayne Jarret was drafted right after Minnesota drafted Sidney Rice.

He was drafted 5 spots ahead of the Giants' Steve Smith.

2009 stats:

Rice 83 receptions, 1312 yards, 8 TDs

Smith 107 receptions, 1220 yards, 7 TDs

Jarrett 17 receptions, 196 yards, 1 TD

I hope everything was Jake's fault. He was drafted in pretty good company.

unfortunately it looks like those guys are much better than him... though some would say its all about the QB...

[Sword]

sidney rice and the other steve smith didn't do much of anything they had a QB that would throw it to them(eli was throwing more last year and didn't have the plaxico crutch)..

[X-Clown]

Rice was pretty much considered a bust too before Favre got there.

[MadHatter]

Let's see.....

Rice had Favre and Smith had Manning.

Jarrett had Jake.

Enough said.

yep. first thought i had.

in the games he's played in:

30 games

35 receptions

414 yards

11.8 avg

1 touchdown

1.16 receptions per game, 13.8 yards per game, .03 touchdowns per game

games he's started:

3 games

7 receptoins

56 yards

8 avg

0 touchdowns

2.33 receptions per game, 18.6 yards per game, 0 touchdowns per game

When he plays and Moore is at QB

5 games

5 receptions

68 yards

13.6 avg

1 TD

1 reception per game, 13.6 yards per game, .2 touchdowns per game

It's interesting to point out that all of this production came from the saints game, a game where the Saints rested their starters and had nothing to play for. All other games where the starters played he didn't produce at all. The tampa bay game of 07 didn't have the starters playing but he still didn't produce.

we're 13-17 when he plays, 1-2 when he starts.

San Diego 08, Arizona regular season (08 & 09) and the last saints game 09 are the only games where he has gotten over 20 yards and we have won. Any other game when he's produced we've been beaten by a healthy margin.

Yeah because Jake Delhome is the only bad QB in the league. Poor, poor Jarrett.

Mohamed Massaquoi overcame Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn. The had the worst combined passer rating in the entire league(worse than Delhome's) and he was on the 8th best rushing offense in the leauge.

Brandon Pettigrew was better with Matthew Stafford, Dante Culpepper, and Drew Stanton at QB who combined for the 2nd worse QB rating in the league(worse than Delhome's). And he's a tight end.

Sammie Stroughter was better with Josh Freeman, Josh Johnson, and Bryon Leftwich at QB. They were 3rd worse in the leauge by passer rating(.4 better than Delhome).

Louis Murphy was better with Jarmacus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski, and Charlie Frye all throwing to him. They combined for 4th worse in the league.

Bradon Gibson was better with Marc Buldger, Kyle Boller, and Keith Null throwing to him. They combined for 6th worse in the leauge.

None of these guys have the luxury of a QB coming in to play for 5 games with a QB rating of nearly 100. They are all far worse than we are. The Browns and Raiders threw for even less yards than we did.

They beat him while playing with poo. Jarrett had gold at QB for 5 games but that's right he could barely beat out UDFA's for the opportunity to even get on the field.

Basically what X and Swordcat is the reason this is not a very good way to put Jarrett in "perspective". Smith became a go-to guy in the Giants offense. And he has Eli Manning ( he is pretty good) Sidney received the trust of Favre. This is not the first time Bret has helped young WR's break out. Fact is Jarrett was not and will not be the primary target and Smith had a rough year with Jake at the helm. This year will be a world of difference.

Jarrett has talent and is dirt cheap. We all know he has outstanding hands and jumping ability, and he is a very underrated blocker. He showed wk17 that he deserved a starting chance so give him one. Who care what he has done up till now. Its put up or shut up for him.

I still think we should go into the draft with the mindset that we don't have Jarrett but he still deserves a chance.

[Sloth]

It was only last season that Jake was completely terrible. What is Jarrett's excuse for the prior years?

It's not just him getting ignored on the field. He couldn't even show enough to get ON the field usually. He couldn't beat out K. Moore for snaps.

The one game in three years he's shown anything was against backups in a game that didn't matter and all the Saints cared about was not getting injured.

Love the optimism about him, but I don't really think he's shown anything to deserve it yet. Would love to be wrong.

[Sandy Claws]

yep. first thought i had.

Really?

I'm pretty sure mine was "where's a boobie? I'm hungry"

[GreatPoupon]

yeah if he were as good as Rice or Smith you would think he would put at least some numbers.... something rather than NOTHING.

[Wither]

It's not entirely Jakes fault, but Jarrett isn't off the hook. However, if he had a great QB throwing to him (perhaps Moore will be that QB) he might do well (at least decent).

I think most people are expecting him to do better, but not necessarily break out and be a top WR.

[pstall]

To put it into perspective. He has just ONE more td than ME in 3 years. Me.
