I would make the argument that Drew Carter was good for the role he played. Keary Colbert was excellent in his rookie year, and what happened after that the world shall never know, In retrospect there is no way to justify drafting a kid that ran close to a 4.7, however no one will deny Jarrett offered some upside.

I don't think we've been as bad at WR as some would like to think, Ryne Robinson wasn't brought in to be a major WR for us by any stretch...he was an electrifying kick returner in College and that's what we needed him to be in the NFL.

I think WR is just a hard position to evaluate, just ask the Lions. Wideouts can put up big numbers in college based soley on their athletic gifts. Plus alot of them look better because of the system the run (spread). Same goes with QB. If you don't see them in a prostyle offense it is hard to evaluate their jump to the next level. Or, in Jarretts case, they may just be athletically superior to everyone else they play against, but just don't have the ability to make the next step in the NFL.

While I agree with most of what's been said, I still can't get over how the Panthers overlook college's that crank out the postions that they do.

Finally they go get a Gamecock DB...and look at Captain.

Gamble does ok. Marshall, while I will finally get his chance this season.

Bottom line. Louisville and SC just don't produce offensive players.

If Moose hadn't returned, don't you think Jarrett would have gotten a lot more opportunities last year? He would have started third with Hackett as the number two, and overtaken him mid-season.

He's got talent, but he needs to use it in games and to do that he has to get the opportunities.

from what i've seen/heard, it wasn't that he wasn't on the field, it's that he didn't get open. if you're not open, you're not gonna get fed the ball.

Well you have admit jake throws the ball to Steve smith alot of times when he's not open

Smith has earned that kind of trust because n a tight spot he always fights for the ball (and usually wins).

Would anyone care to argue that Jarrett has earned the same level of trust?

I heard/saw somewhere that Jerry Rice's pro day was a 4.71

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I'm absolutely amazed at how many people actually think this was a great move. Like did y'all just become Panthers fans yesterday? When has re-signing a RB to a big money contract ever worked out for this franchise? DeAngelo Williams? Jonathan Stewart? Christian McCaffrey? All of those re-signings were mistakes. Giving a RB big money has a terrible track record of ROI, period. It's a draft 'em and let 'em walk position. A big part of the Panthers' roster management issues over the years and a big part of why we have historically been inconsistent before finding our consistency as perennial cellar dwellers under Tepper is because we have always fundamentally struggled to understand positional value. We have always tied up far too many premium resources be it cap space or draft picks in non-premium positions. We currently have a ton of money tied up in RBs and interior OL. The doom cycle just keeps repeating.

      Why are we wasting money on RBs? Not even 2 years and we overpaid for 2 RBs!

      To demand more money you have to have suitors. What other franchise is overpaying for RBs?   Henry/Barkley were both free and had limited suitors. The position isn't that valuable in the grand scheme of things.

      1) Still young at 25. Good contract for the production, especially at only 15 million guaranteed. 2) Investing in a core offensive identity. An elite running back corps is a force multiplier with our upgraded interior line.  3) Acknowledging performance and retaining developed talent sets an important precedent for a young, rebuilding team. 4) This “devaluation” of running backs perspective seems to be waning. Setting aside the Chiefs and their hall of fame coach/QB/TE combo, the tops teams have all invested in RBs, many of which were free agents. Lions with a contract to Montgomery and first round Ghibbs. Ravens sign Henry. Eagles sign Barkley. Vikings sign Jones. Packers sign Jacobs. Commanders sign Ekeler. Texans sign Mixon. Bills have their second rounder Cook who filled in after 3rd rounder Moss was underwhelming (who the Bengals then signed this offseason but is hurt). The niners moved for CMC. Steelers Harris was a first rounder. Falcons have Bijan playing well.
