Torry Holt will lead us to the promised land

Even in his rookie year, Jarrett was physically much more capable than Hackett, and yet in his second year he was still somehow inadequate to plug the hole which Hackett, a journeyman with a long medical history, was signed to fill.

Let me guess: you were saying the same thing about DeAngelo Williams, who couldn't supplant Deshaun Foster as our starter for his first two years?

Nobody's saying he should be starting. This thread was about signing Torry Holt, and since we have a #1 (smith) and #2 (moose) receiver he would be the #3. And since Jarrett is our #3 he would be taking his spot when I have not seen enough out of Holt to think he will contribute more then Jarrett as the #3 (especially in our offense). Since he probably has as much left in the tank as Moose you would essentially be blocking Jarrett's only chance at seeing decent playing time. And besides I saw Jarrett make some great 3rd down catches for us this year and I want to see what he can do with a larger role in this offense before you go finding his replacement.

Jarrett had a rookie year to make a decent cameo appearance. He did not. In Jarrett's sophomore year he had opportunities to beat an injured man for WR3. He did not. Giving Jarrett repeated opportunities ad-nauseum is not as important as the success of the Panthers.

Holt has been better than Steve Smith in many of their years, and better than Muhsin Muhammad in all but one. To even compare him to Jarrett is ridiculous. If Peppers goes to NE, we are going to have money to spend. Holt should be a serious candidate, if the money is reasonable.

i would say he did beat him out. one is on the roster still and the other is ??????

the one who still has the job wins.

i wouldn't object to holt coming in at a decent price but i would rather see us spend the money on defense and us commit to jarrett to see what he can do given more opportunities.

he does everything he is asked and catches what is thrown his way.

long term jarrett is the better option.

With how our coaches operate you cant assume that he couldnt "beat hackett"..

considering hackett got cut, and jarrett is here, i would say its right the opposite.

Jarrett made some very important catches for us last season, and was a BIG part of us winning some games.

    • McConkey is such a better player than XL that it isn't out of the question that he'd have improved us by 1 win last year, which would have dropped us to 10th or 11th in the draft.  If we fell to 11th behind SF, they probably take him as they were heavily rumored to want him.  2 more wins and we fall to 11th or 12th, if we are 12th behind both the 49ers and Cowboys, then he's 100% taken by one of them. Also, drafting McConkey wouldn't have stopped us from getting Coker as an UDFA. So even if he was on the board when we were on the clock, I'm not sure we're taking him over a defensive player given how bad the defense was last year.  Part of why he was always the pick for me was that we had no legitimate long term WR option at the time, having McConkey changes that and makes going defense much more feasible.
    • Or a statue of him in a golf cart and you can sit next to him
    • I've said many times that if I had known in high school that long snapper was an NFL position I would have practiced that every day and did all could to get that contract. Sure the money is not starting QB level, but it is life changing and if you manage it right you and your kids will be set for life. Not to mention you have access to the highest level of medical staff. Plus, by rule, they can't hit you.
