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.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
