DITTO-

I thinky he Got "Williamed"

(means you sit the bench way to long spoiling great talent)

Seriously. I mean when they called his number, rare as it was, he got open and caught the ball, but you can only do so much getting put in like 5 or 6 plays a game, and Jake doesn't spread the ball around to anyone else but Smith or Moose, and he'll force it to them before he looks Jarrett's way (or anybody else for that matter)

This kid's looking like a bust and it's not really his fault. He didn't drop any passes thrown to him but it's not like he got that many chances anyway, he was inactive for a lot of games.

That's the tough part about evaluating starters who underachieve (especially WR's and TE's). Is it because Delhomme isn't throwing to them? Or are they not getting open and doing their part? It's hard to judge without the advantage of game film to review it all.

Draft reports all stated that Barnridge could develop into a great receiving TE. I've always wanted a damn Panther's TE in the Delhomme era to have over 500 yards receiving. I hope we can get one in the next couple years.

Jarrett has all the physicality that screams possession receiver. Honestly, 6"4' and 219? Comeon! We need many more balls to him. Especially when it comes to short routes. Get him running those nice little 6-7 yard routes. If our running game continues as well as it did this year, we really only need Jarrett to consistently make those short catches and with that, the chains will move easily. Play him under Moose and Smith. I hate to say it, but look at what Kurt Warner did all year with those little dink and dunk passes. That crap makes 2nd and 3rd down insanely easy.

Not really along the lines of more opportunities, but I desperately hope Godfrey develops into a top-tiered FS. He had some big blown plays this year.

    • Bruce Arians said when evaluating a college prospect they have to win on 3rd down and in the 2 min drill to be successful in the nfl.
    • We took Luke when we had Jon Beason, and a hurt Jonathon Brooks when we had Chuba. Just noting.  I don't think teams are going to pass up on an impact player regardlessly if whether they need something else. There's a good argument that drafting an inferior player, and especially an obviously inferior player, based upon need is a pathway to failure.  I'm glad we took Tetairoa McMillan even though there were arguably bigger needs.
    • As much as I'd love Cam or Mahomes I'd also settle for a QB that is at least better than average at something other than 4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives. He's literally bottom third in the league in most categories (yards, completion percentage, int percentage/turnovers, YPA, IAYPA, QBR and QB rating) and right around average in a couple others, notably TD % where he is 15th and YAC/PA where he is 9th. If Bryce can improve I'll be happy with him. But all this stuff about us asking for perfection / insane ability is a bit ridiculous. Most of us "haters" just see a QB that is basically below average over his career to date and has shown relatively little consistency in his third year.  NFL offenses don't need 400 yards every week at all, but they do require a QB that can move the ball, and Bryce struggles often with that (hence why our overall offensive rank is so bad despite an overall good rushing rank).
