DJ finally gets his chance.

I am still waiting to see Jarret on the field with Smitty before passing final judgement. However, he has a lot of impressing to do.

I still think he has the ability to be a solid #2. It is truly all up to him now.

I still think he will have 4-5 catches for 50 or so yards on Sunday.....call me an optimist.

Again, Jarrett's amount of suckage is debateable. I like that our team is built to run the football, but just how "easily" can we run the ball w/o an effective passing game? We're going to see a lot of 8-9 man boxes b/c our passing game (outside of Smith) leaves a lot to be desired. Sunday will be a good test.

+1.

I don't see why there's so much hate...he's barely seen the field.

I don't understand it either. I mean our second-round pick from three years ago has barely seen the field guys. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

Jarrett will score our first TD

[Future of the Funchise]

Did Dexter Jackson get cut?

[SOJA]

If Jarrett is ever going to get a game to shine this is it. Giants have a fairly weak secondary, and Smith will not only be double teamed but might be a little out of the loop. I'm ready to see what this kid can do.

Let's Go Panthers!!!! Almost Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Razzy]

Against the Giants I expect DJ to have somehting like 3-4 catches for about 60 yards. He'll probably catch at least one 30+. I really don't think he will do horrible this season, but I don't think he's the long term solution.

People keep saying this but there is a reason he has not seen the field. Its cause he was not ready and could not beat out Hackett, Moose or Moore. His preseason has not convinced me other wise ether. He is just waiting to get replaced by one of the rookies if he has not already. We waited forever for Colbert and Carter and it seems we will do the same for Jarrett.

With all that said I hope he proves me wrong and has a great year. I really would like for us to find another WR to complement Smith.

[Jase]

If Dwayne has a big game this year, I'll be the first to take back everything I've said about him and jump on his bandwagon.

Until then, I'm squarely in the "he's lucky to be on this team" camp.

I was being sarcastic, and agree with you completely.

It's easy to say he's barely seen the field, but -- like you said -- there's probably a reason for that.

people said, there was a reason Moore didn't see the field last year. He was lazy, didn't know the playbook, not a "team" guy, etc.

[Brooklyn Bully]

I hope he proves people wrong, but don't look for the Giants to worry about him all that much.

Yesterday on WFNZ, Buck talked about him. As some of you know, Buck has been up with the Steelers for their entire camp as part of the NFL's new program (Stephen Davis here). He was in the room with the coaches talking about the Pitt D, and also in the tape room looking at other teams. So yeah, he watched tape on the Panthers. Garcia asked him to talk about it, and say as little as he wanted out of respect to the Steelers. They got to DJ. So, we have a room of coaches watching tape on DJ. The findings? DJ is not an NFL player. He can't get off the line. He can't get separation.

Again, I hope he proves them wrong, but when coaches are saying that about you, and not some armchair QB, it means something.

[jayflip]

DJ is a waste. He'll catch a few balls on Sunday, but he won't have any real impact on the outcome of the game. I hope I'm wrong, but his lethargic ass has bummed me out for so long though. Upside is he's still super young, and in a contract year he should be hungry. Maybe his cool new hair will bring out the beast within, and maybe he'll break out...

And maybe I'll find 500,000 dollars at work today...
