Former West Virginia QB Jarrett Brown

He's a guy I liked in the draft a couple of years ago that I was hoping we would pick up late. Instead we ended up with Tony Pike. Brown ended up with San Fran as an UDFA.

Has a cannon of an arm , pretty decent scramble ability, and good size at 6'3 225.

Some highlights here

Impressive!

Nice video....but whats the catch?

I just think with the evolving scrambling QB in the NFL, that someone would have picked him up by now???

[CardiacCats]

Nope.

[TopCat]

He would be a serviceable backup to Cam, of course I'm just basing that off his highlight tape.

DA > Pickles > Brown

He was in clevelands camp last year .

Honestly idk. Squirrel would know more than most of us I imagine about his downsides. But his upsides are his speed (4.54 at combine) , athletic ability , and arm strength.

I have heard some things about his decision making though I feel like that could be coachable. I'm honestly not sure why he hasn't found a place yet.

Anderson will be gone off to other things next year i think it's safe to say , and just about nobody in our fanbase wants to see pickles throw another football for the panthers. Unfair for him but I believe that to be a true statement. So at some point we need a capable backup with a skillset similar to Cam to keep the offense in tempo if he goes down. I think someone like brown is the type of person we would look for.

Found this out about him.... I wonder why he did not land anything with the teams below? Anyone know more about him?

San Francisco 49ers

After going undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers signed Brown to a free agent contract.^[32] He was re-signed to the practice squad, but the franchise released him on September 8 when it signed quarterback Troy Smith and moved Nate Davis to the practice squad. Later in September, Brown tried out with the Pittsburgh Steelers alongside quarterbacks Levi Brown and John David Booty in search of a replacement for the injured Dennis Dixon.^[33]

Cleveland Browns

On December 21, 2010, Brown tried out for the Cleveland Browns. On January 6, 2011, he was signed by the Cleveland Browns. He competed for the third string quarterback job in the preseason. Brown was released by the Cleveland Browns on September 2, 2011, during final cuts. He was then signed to the Indianapolis Colts practice squad on November 29.

Carolina Panthers

In the spring of 2012, Jarrett Brown attended Carolina Panthers Rookie camp working for a chance to get signed.

This makes me wonder....anyway, I think he looks really good in those highlights, and hope he gets a shot!

It may just be he needs to find the right offensive scheme .. San Fran and Cleveland are very different in that regard.

Maybe he has been a Dwayne Jarret of QB's? College level talent that couldn't grasp the NFL game/playbook/offense/fill in the blank.

yup

It's not hard to put together all of a guys college highlights into one video on youtube. The sad truth is that his video of bad plays could be twice or 3 times as long. You can learn nothing from a youtube video. He has nowhere near the scramble ability as Cam. I can tell that just from that video. He isn't as fast or quick changing direction. There must be a reason why he can't even make it as someone's 3rd string QB.
