Pretty cruel joke...

So are you saying Smith keeps the number 1 receiver position?

Smith, Jarrett (yes, Jarrett), and Lafell might be a decent combo as the season moves on. One thing is for sure, Jarrett has some nice frickin hands. The rest of the guys seem like college scout team fodder.

I honestly think Jarrett will have a better season than Lafell. I'm convinced Lafell has bricks for hands.

Jarrett still looks bad to me. I know he had a catch (woo hoo) but he still seems to be thinking about his routes and lumbering through them too. The pass hit him in the numbers as he wasn't particulaly open. It was just a very good pass. I'll get off the Jarrett sucks bandwagon when he has several catches where he actually beats the coverage.

Towards the end of the game with Cantwell there was a play where Jarrett failed to get open in his route and then just stood there and watched while his QB was in trouble.

Heaven forbid he kept running trying to make something happen.

I'm about convinced the guy's a few crayons short of a full box, if you catch my drift.

Either that or he doesn't give a crap. I can forgive a guy that tries hard and progresses slowly because he's not all that bright than a guy who could really care less. I have to believe at this point he's actually trying and the game, at THIS level, is over his head.

That's what kills me about Jarrett. He just seems so unmotivated. I made it a point to watch him off the line more than once, and he just seemed dreadfully slow -- like he was just going through the motions since the play didn't involve him.

eh, with as many wide receivers as we've got competing for starting jobs... I'm not completely disgusted with the way they all played last night. None of them played every snap, so it's not like they're all gonna have five to six catches. And our offensive line wasn't giving our QB's any time to throw down field, just a bunch of check downs. If Kenny Moore and Matt Moore can work on their timing, they'll be great together. I still think we'll go into the season with 5 or 6 receivers on our roster:

Steve Smith

Kenny Moore

Dwayne Jarrett

Brandon Lafell

Wallace Wright

Armanti Edwards

Although, I'd like Charly Martin to come back from his finger injury and make our roster. At that point, I'd send Armanti Edwards to the practice squad. Unless he improves dramatically in these next few games.

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offense trending upward given the investments we've made. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
