What If....

What if Carolina had Kept Keyshawn Johnson so that he could mentor and teach Jarret the ways of the force like he said he was going to do? Did carolina fudge that one? Could Dwayne have been that #2 receiver carolina most desperatly needed under the tutiledge of Keyshawn? Thoughts?

Would Key have helped Jarretts devolopement? Probably would it of made a big difference in turning him into a legit receiver? Probably not... The man had many oppertunitys, did we cut Key to soon knowing he could produce and we didnt forsure have a #2... yes same mistake that has been made 3 times now... Proehl, Key, Moose... I have hope that the franchise will learn after a third time. If there isnt a recovery this season, im sure the new coaching staff will learn from the old reigms mistakes.

I believe it would have made a world of difference did anyone see how excited Key was he would have probably had him staying over some nights just showing him things no one showed him. Yeah he had chances but a positive role model on a young impressionable mind is a wonderful thing. Some people might thinks it nothing but Ive seen Jarrets so called friends here, one of his buddies is my friend so I can speak from first hand knowledge dude was a young man who IN MY OPINION needed a good mentor or leader. Yeah many dont but every person is different Im not trying to divulge all this info so Im going to stop but Key COULD HAVE done wonders for the kid in all seriousness.

EDIT: yes Moose was a good leader but having someone who WANTS to mentor you is different from someone who you should get mentored from. Moose had a family 5 kids to be exact all here Key had nothing but a condo here its a big difference.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
