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.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
