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.

    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
    • The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
    • How about some line help, both sides, first. Trade XL before talking about a 1st round WR 3 years in a row. Or a TE or...drum roll...a QB to pair with a vet.  And if it's not a speedy route guy with hands then just hard pass.
