Carolina Panthers waited too long to cut Jarrett

(By Scott Fowler, [email protected]) The Carolina Panthers finally cut their losses with Dwayne Jarrett on Tuesday, firing him on the same day Jarrett was arrested on a drunken-driving charge for the second time in less than three years.p/It was the first time the Panthers have done exactly the right thing regarding Jarrett in his four-year NFL career. Give them a little credit - they finally understood what fans sitting in armchairs around the Carolinas have seen for a long time. Carolina moved quickly Tuesday to fire Jarrett - just as they should have following the wide receiver's latest embarrassing incident - and I applaud them for that.

I try not to be negative about the Observer, but this article is terrible. What kind of sports journalists do we have that call for someone to be cut after they already are? meh.

Maybe he did it already but is this piece really necessary? Grah.

Love how all of the beat writers are coming out and straight burying a guy. God forbid if anyone else on the team so much as litters...these baboons will tear them apart.

Good luck elsewhere, DJ. You get one more shot. Smh.

he got his shot...obviously too many.

only one person to blame for the hole he's in. it's that dude with the spike in his mouth.

I'm glad I'm not a sports writer. Christ. No matter what they write someone on this board thinks it's awful.

True enough, which is why I try to avoid insulting their work usually. In this case, though, I feel like they are just trying to cash in on a recent event with some fan emotion. But eh, whatever. It's just one article. Overall I've enjoyed reading what the paper has to offer, though at times I feel like it's just Gantt's Twitter Extended Version.

Are these the same jackoff writers who subjected us to BS puff pieces about how much better Jarrett was doing EVERY SUMMER for the last three years? Maybe that is a sign some of these ass clown writers should be cut. I guess Fowler (or his wife) gives his boss good head or something.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
