Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald believes the Panthers' starting flanker job is Dwayne Jarrett's "until he coughs it up."

Gantt calls Jarrett blowing the opportunity "possible." In the Burning Questions piece for our 2010 Fantasy Preview, however, Gantt noted that Jarrett "always looks great in practice," making it similarly possible that the fourth-year wideout's biggest obstacle so far has been coach John Fox's veteran deference. Jarrett is now the veteran, competing with rookie Brandon LaFell.

What do you guys think?

I included a poll, but the only options are LaFell and Jarrett because Edwards and Moore really don't have a chance.

Its all about motivation. Jarrett has always had the talent, no doubt. but every year he has had an established starter or vet in front of him. being a #3 WR on this team may as well not even dress on game days.

so he hasnt really been trying very hard. when given the opportunity; i.e when someone was injured, he showed glimpses of potential that we all hoped he had on draft day a few years ago as moose 2.0.

hopefully with the job essentially being his to lose, he will feel the pressure from the other young WR's and step it up. he will get a chance in TC since smitty wont be getting reps, so i am guess him, lafell and edwards get plenty of snaps with the #1 unit, so they can be compared easily.

hopefully this will work in our favor and the competition (since it is now legit) will help everyone develop, much like godfrey did last season once martin came in and played very well.

he knows he is fighting for his future, and the stage is set, so he better leave it all on the field.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
