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.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
