Tuesday Roster Moves: Davis to PUP, Wright and Taylor to IR

[House]

Colbert got on the field and didn't produce. Jarrett hasn't gotten onto the field. That is probably his fault as much as the coaches, but at the end of year 3, we knew Colbert was a scrub. Jarrett is still an unknown.

So the guy who did get on the field but didn't produce much after his first year is a bigger scrub than the guy who hasn't been able to work his way into the rotation?

Get the fug out of here. You're kidding me, right?

Don't blame this on the coaches, who do you think has wanted to see Jarrett succeed more than anyone esle? The COACHES! They need a #2, Jarrett was supposed to be that guy but he sucks. Do you really think that Fox and co. are so fuged up that even though Jarrett is all-pro material they refuse to play him because they don't like him?

Craziness. Jarrett sucks.

You're way off on Keary Colbert. In his first year as a Panther, after the injury to Steve Smith, Colbert stepped up and played really well as a rookie: 47 catches, 754 yards (16 yards per catch avg.), with 5 touchdowns. The next year he only posted 25 catches for 282 yards and two touchdowns -- it was later revealed that he had been suffering from bone spurs and microfractures in one of his feet. He was inactive for the next season and then faded into obscurity.

To even begin to say Jarrett has anything on Colbert is to just, well, lie or be completely unaware of what the two players accomplished. Colbert showed promise, but couldn't carry through due to nagging injuries, but at least he had one very respectable year for a WR2. As a second round draft pick, he wasn't bad at first, but never paid off in the long run.

For Jarrett, the tale of the tape is well, just sad. Jarrett, also a second round draft pick, in his first season couldn't even gain an active spot on the roster in but one of his first eight games, only getting a uniform in the ninth game after, wonder of wonders, Keary Colbert was injured. Over the rest of that stellar year, he posted a whopping 6 catches for 73 yards, no TDs and one special teams tackle. The following year, Jarrett improved, being able to play in nine games, actually starting once with stats that read: 10 rec., 119 yards (not one game, but as a total for the season.) Last year, let's just hit the high water mark here when he caught a 30-yard pass for a touchdown (FINALLY!!!!!) against a Saints team that was phoning it in.

Now, have we finally put to rest that Colbert is the scrub and that Jarrett is better? Colbert certainly isn't a ring of honor player, but he at least took the field and got open once in a while, nine times for touchdowns in actual competitive contests. Jarrett has, well, finished reading the introduction and table of contents for the 2008 offensive playbook.

I did hear, however, that he had already colored in many of the pictures!

I am aware of Colbert's production as a rookie. But that production dwindled significantly to the point that at the end of Colbert's career in Carolina, he was a scrub.

I am not saying that DJ is or is not a scrub. I am saying that we don't fully know because he hasn't been on the field. The closest we have to him being on the field was during the season finale last year, a game in which he played quite well.

You are obviously a stupid fuging retard. Did I say that Colbert was a bigger scrub than DJ? No. I simply said that DJ is an unknown at this point because he hasn't gotten onto the field.

[SOJA]

I saw the Dexter Jackson cut coming a mile away.

You are obviously a stupid f**king retard. Did I say that Colbert was a bigger scrub than DJ? No. I simply said that DJ is an unknown at this point because he hasn't gotten onto the field.

DJ is not an unknown unless you just started watching the Panthers this year. Which is entirely possible in your case. Here are some other things you may not know.

We released Jake Delhomme he now plays for the Browns.

Peppers is no longer a part of this team, he signed with the Chicago Bears (another NFL team, in case you didn't know).

Mushin Muhammed was allowed to walk without a contract.

Our FB (fullback) Brad Hoover was also let go. Some considered him the lynch pin of the running game.

In general the Panthers are in a youth movement right now.

Hope this helps you in the future when you are talking to others about the Panthers.

You are welcome.

:confused:

Hilee Taylor is an unknown too right?

Jake who?

You are right. I just started watching Panther games last week.

Hey, thats cool, everybody loves fresh fish and noobs.

Just watch the name calling that will get you an infraction. If you get ten of those you will be banned. :frown5: . We wouldn't want that would we? Especially since you are new to all of this and need all the info you can get.

Getting banned wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I spend too much time on the Huddle anyways.

But if my insult was infraction worthy, I should have been kicked out a long time ago for my comments in the Bobcats section.

We have a Bobcats section? Just a warning no biggie, just was cooling the fire before it got to big.

[Punisher]

I still don't understand how Jarrett is an unknown but with Hilee Taylor it is all "Thank goodness that experiment is over." If you have to get yourself banned to explain it then by damn do it!

[KatsAzz]

Not only are we losing a very good special team ace in Wallace Wright but he was destined to be our 4th wide receiver.

I was pulling for him and really hated to see this happen.

OK.

This is fairly simple. Huddle readers and posters have trouble reading. (Is that an insult, it wasn't directed at anyone in particular?)

Did I ever say that Hilee Taylor wasn't an unknown? No, of course not. He is just as much of an unknown as DJ. Both are the same age, with the same relative amount of big league football experience-basically no in-game experience.

The reason that it makes sense to end the experiment with Taylor, while continuing with DJ is all about potential.

I can't ever recall reading or hearing more than a simple insignificant acknowledgment about Taylor in practice or preseason games. His ceiling is very low and it was time for the Panthers to cut him lose, particularly with 4, if not 5, DEs playing very well this preseason.

On the other hand, DJ does receive occasional accolades from media, observers, and fans for making those types of plays that are consistent with being a 2nd round pick and an award setting WR at the collegiate level.

Furthermore, it is a well-established notion that it takes a while for WRs to adjust to the NFL game. That is a general fact that applies to many WRs making the transition to the pros. DJ is a young, immature player with loads of talent. His experiment shouldn't end yet because there is a reasonable chance that he will turn into a decent player. The chances of Hilee Taylor ever becoming anything more than the 4th DE on the roster appear slim at best.
