Forget Moore/Clausen, Let's Talk LaFell/Jarrett

LaFell admittedly had a horrible game. Should Jarrett start next week? I'm not on his jock but he looked like a better option for our second receiver. The coaches know more than any of us and obviously don't like him for whatever reason, but when thrown to he makes catches. His YAC is probably negative, but possession wise he is solid. So I know the hot debate this week is Moore or Clausen, but should Jarrett get a starting look over LaFell for a few games?

I just don't see where LaFell played "horrible." He had one drop. Made some nice blocks. Neither of them is a true #2 right now, so I think they will probably end up rotating them.

He didn't produce. He was targeted 8 times, catching 2 passes for 21 yards.

LaFell is going to be a good player, but DJ is the better player right now.

Yeah he was targeted 8 times. Two catches. One was horribly thrown off target. Another was a bad throw. One was a drop. One he got us 30 yds on a PI penalty. So thats 6 of the 8. I dont remember the other two. Am I saying he tore it up out there? Absolutely not, but it wasn't that bad. I'm glad Jarrett did well, though.

The PI penalty isn't counted in the targets number (not 100% certain in that).

WR is just a really hard position to learn. Let the game come to the rookie and send DJ out there.

DJ had about all of the production that you could ask for out of the 3rd WR in Carolina's offense.

By the way your avatar is absolutely ridiculous, in a wonderfully great way.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.

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

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Speaking generally to this whole thing— I would say taking a play out of structure too soon isn’t always the riskier option with a higher reward. You’re crashing the call and going out of structure when maybe you didn’t need to. Attempting a premature escape does not inherently have a high reward. But yeah, it’s risky ball. Especially when your not outpacing IDLs. Sometimes the higher risk/reward option is staying in a crowded pocket, not letting it break down, stepping up and making the big time throw. Now, if we’re saying it’s impossible to judge, and there’s so many factors, it’s a complicated position to evaluate, sure but the saying something with so much certainty that his biggest weakness is that he’s too aggressive — I don’t, I just don’t see that. Like at all.  And nothing has really convinced me otherwise. You can’t just keep going on about how it’s so intricate and difficult to understand but be so certain about this one thing. And all that aside, pocket work, mechanics and footwork have been the flashing red sirens since day 1 more than physical traits (we drafted him knowing he was a historic outlier) - do we just not want to acknowledge it? It’s even been communicated straight from the horses mouth…the coaches and team saying what he needs to work on the most. I appreciate the perspective, but nothing here has convinced me Bryce is somehow this aggressive type. Still open, but I don’t see it

      Some Tet appreciation

      I think Egbuka is a very polished guy, for sure. TMac has some refinement that needs to happen. His ceiling is probably higher than Egbuka's but for that to matter you have to eventually reach it. I definitely don't have buyers remorse on TMac. Great pick.
