From Yasinskas' blog: Big Question: Dwayne Jarrett a No. 2 WR?

[Dpantherman]

Can Dwayne Jarrett emerge as a successful No. 2 wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers?

Jarrett hasn't lived up to expectations in Carolina so far.

It seems that question gets asked every year. But the answer really could be different this year. Jarrett’s been a bust since the Panthers used a second-round pick on him in 2007.

But let’s keep a couple of things in mind. Jarrett is still only 23 years old and came out of USC early. Carolina coach John Fox has a long history of not placing a lot of trust in the hands of young wide receivers.

But that could change in Jarrett’s fourth year in this offense. He should know the system by now and he really is the most logical candidate to start opposite Steve Smith. Yes, it’s true the Panthers used early-round picks on Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards, but it’s tough to see Fox trusting either of them enough to put them directly in the starting lineup.

Jarrett may get the first shot simply because of his experience and the Panthers still would not have him on the roster if they didn’t think there was some upside. At 6-foot-4 and 219 pounds, Jarrett is a logical choice to take over the starting job vacated by Muhsin Muhammad. Like Muhammad, Jarrett is big enough to be an effective blocker in the running game and a possession target for quarterbacks Matt Moore and Jimmy Clausen.

Jarrett’s never had more than 17 catches in a season, but there are some football people in Carolina who believe he can be a quality No. 2 if he’s given a chance to play the role.

time to chit or get off the pot!

they should have released him yesterday

Hard to believe Jarrett is only 23. If his head is on straight he should be able to make some strides this year. If not we gotta cut bait.

I think he will succeed else where.

Hope Jarrett has grown into his role. But if he does not perform in the pre-season, he will be a goner :confused:

Watch that asshole leave and dominate somewhere else. I'm going to be so fuging mad.

Maybe he can step up and be our #2 practice squad WR....

lol I see no strong arguments as to why he would win the 2nd place spot. All he has said is that he is young and knows the system now. There are a million busts who has had those qualities. At least argue from something you saw at camp or some sort of evidence that he has worked hard this offseason. I don't mind speculation but this is as blind as they get.
