If Dwayne Jarrett blows up, can anyone stop our offense?

The way I look at it, if Jarrett comes through as a solid wide receiver (which all signs are pointing toward) who can really stop our offense? Barring too many offensive line injuries, we have arguably the best duo in the league, and Deangelo alone gives defensive coordinators insomnia, Stewart shows promise to be just as good, if not better. That alone is putting 8 in the box for a good chunk of the plays this year, people know they're good. I don't see a team that can afford to put 8 in the box and cover Smith, Moose and Jarrett. If they don't stack, we run all over them.

Thoughts?

What signs are you referring to? I think there were a few glimmers of hope but the jury is still out. I feel optimistic about him but the phrase "Jarrett is a solid option" still ends with a ? rather than !.

I skulk around in the realm of reality. It is truely a lonely place

Well, considering he caught quite a few big 3rd down passes and his yards to catch ratio is outstanding (since he was inactive or a 4th receiver majority of the time), I'd say that is a good sign. The other sign being the FO didn't add a solid #3 receiver and is content having him there....

Don't get me wrong, we still have to see... but those would be good signs, none-the-less... But I see you're point, I don't think any of us can say he is a solid 3rd WR yet, since this is the year he needs to prove it.

Yes it can easily be stopped as long as John Fox is our offense and defensive coordinator and continues to run the same conservative plays. I mean seriously we're talking about Dwayne Jarrett here...a "potentially" decent #3 receiver. Not an elite starting wr like Randy Moss or Larry Fitgerald.

We will be unstoppable, best offenses always beat the best defenses, its only a matter of time.

The other day I was watching an old USC vs Fresno State game where Dwayne Jarrett was going against Richard Marshall and Dwayne on a couple of occasions (only a couple because it was the reggie bush show) put a some good moves against Marshall and had a pretty good game. It seemed like Jarrett was Lineart go to guy on USC receiver wise. Jarrett was really impressive, or Marshall didn't look soo good. Marshall also got juked a couple times bad for the big play by Bush.

If Jarrett can be a good third down option and get open against a slot defender and come up much bigger in the red zone when we decide to pass, then he will have done a good job. I don't think that there is number he has to reach much like Proehl didn't have to make catches every game to earn his keep. But Ricky knew how to get open and was money on third down. If Jarrett can continue to improve on his performance from last year as well as make the most of the catches thrown to Hackett last year, he should be valuable and will stop the double teams on Smith all day. What I want to see is his improvement in blocking. Moose offers him a great mentor and role model.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
