Dwayne Jarrett among top 10 receivers ready to break out.


The Answer

Recommended Posts

Jarrett will not be the starter in Carolina, but he should get the call when the team goes to three or four wideouts. He only caught 10 passes for 119 yards and no touchdowns last season, but I expect a very solid year from Jarrett and the Panthers' new-look offense.

awesome. But what's the new look?

jarrett has hands that catch the ball, not repel it like colbert and drewfus. colbert had some talent, just non of it made him a receiver worth having. drew would have been great if he could hold onto the ball.

jarrett has the ability to grab everything that comes near him and get hit by two defenders while doing it. he runs really good routes and uses his size to his advantage. he caught passes on the sideline the NFL way...two toes in. he may not have what you would call "break away speed" but he will fight for every catch and yard he can possibly get. he has the tools to be a great receiver. maturity was the thing he was lacking. he is getting that now. he has been getting the mentoring and has been taking advantage of every experience and lesson he has been given and using it to his advantage.

i saw massive improvement at TC last year. if it hadn't been for hackett's experience that WR3 job would have been his. as it turns out, it should have been his. hackett was the more proven commodity among the two. it's just that jarrett proved he can be better and healthier than hackett and won the #3 spot and hackett won a ticket out of town.

jarrett will be stepping up next year. you won't see anything but someone who fights hard to get the ball, keep the ball, and get those extra yards. he's a keeper for sure.

"ready"

Doesn't mean he will. I hope the guy does do good. This is his last shot, IMHO.

Yes, because if you don't have success by 22 years old like Dwayne Jarrett then you might as well quit the game. Good point.

You do realize that Jarrett is actually younger than most WR that actually spend 4 years at college, correct?

All the WR in the draft that people were panting over that were upper classmen are actually as old if not older than Jarrett, correct?

Not to mention he has been buried in the depth chart for the last two years and still is to an extent with Steve Smith, the best WR in the game, and Moose who is about as underrated of a 10,000 yard receiver as there is in football.

Do people actually think before they type around here? In a league where Keary Colbert is STILL getting chances after proving time and time again that he's not NFL material, we have people saying this is Jarrett's last chance when he's five years younger, bigger, and more talented.

If we let Jarrett go if he's not a 500 yard receiver this year, then we're stupid. Some team will pick him up, polish off the rough corners, and turn him into a Keyshawn Johnson type target in the passing game. Last chance my ass. He hasn't even had his first chance. All he did when we brought him into the game last year was catch first down passes.

Reasons why Dwayne Jarrett will not be shown the door before his contract runs out.

1. No one behind him on the depth chart is exactly "winning" his position.

2. Moose isn't exactly getting younger.

3. We won't be able to find 1st round WR talent in the draft next year.. well because we don't have a first rounder. Hard to say if it'll even be a need in the second round.

4. Clutch Catches. He has shown flashes.

5. Great Hands. We've been lacking that a lot. You don't see him drop any easy ones. Then again that's probably because he's hardly been targeted.

6. Blocking. He hasn't been targeted much, but he's seen the field a lot more than people think. Specifically as a blocker. We all know he can catch, but he's getting his blocking work. He'll have to do that if he intends on replacing moose.

7. His Rookie Contract is still cheap. and 2 years left. Hell, he might even get an extension if he pans out even a little this year.

I don't know what can happen, but I think even if Fox somehow get fired, He'll be staying.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
