So you would rather have one catch for 15 yards opposed to two catches for 7 yards - both resulting in 3rd down conversions?

Number of catches are certainly important, but so is ypc. Right now, Jarrett is not a down field threat. Kenny Moore is playing the role of Steve Smith, and that will mean more long throws to him. Thats a role Jarrett can't play at all. It means Kenny is going to have more YPC but also will miss more passes, because the longer ones are just harder to catch.

As far as who I would rather see start, I would prefer someone who can both stretch the field (Moore) and someone who has good hands (Jarrett). Unfortunately, neither one of them can do both. So maybe its irrelevant who starts. Maybe we bring in Moore when we want the potential for something down the field, and Jarrett when we need 5 yards. Or maybe we just run with Moore, Barnidge, Smith, and King and to give us a couple of short yardage threats, along with two or maybe three who can get down the field.

Saw that Smitty practiced fully today. I hope we see him some on Sat night. I want to take a look at Moore and the other WR's when a defense has to worry about Smitty on one side.

I don't know, I think I rather him sit and coach up the other scrubs when they come off the field. Too risky imo...

Here are the attempts/completions for the receivers through the first two games. Put the names with the numbers:

1. 2/9 22% completion

2. 4/7 57% completion

3. 1/6 16% completion

4. 2/8 25% completion

And the answer NONE is not allowed!

With those kind of numbers i refuse to start any of the.

f**k this thread, f**k those statistics, f**k all these fake ass #4 recievers fighting to be #2, f**k McDonalds, f**k Walmart, f**k Chicago, Idaho, Ohio, and all the other states in the midwest (especially Wisconsin). f**k their cheese, f**k dairy all together (makes me gassy), f**k Bin Laden, f**k you communist tree huggin' p.e.t.a. jerkoffs (animals are for eating), f**k Lebron James, f**k the NBA, f**k the MLB, f**k every sport that ain't football, f**k soccer twice for trying to be football, rugby's cool, but f**k their jerseys.

With that being said. LaFell will start. If not it will be Jarrett then LaFell.

Now please no more "Who's gonna be our #2" threads. Just hop into one of the 50 other before hitting the new thread button.

I should have been more specific. I meant start opposite Smith. After all, that's what all these games are about right now. Basically, I see it as a contest between Jarrett and LaFell and based just on the two games played, I would say Jarrett.

I don't know, if you only play him the 3rd game it will give him time to rest up from any bumps/nicks going into week 1. Smitty hasn't seen any contact in a long time.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      Here's the article, obviously about Arizona, but has a lot that speaks to who T-Mac is as a player and person https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40918248/arizona-noah-fifita-aiming-big-12-championship-2024

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was a crazy day today for me with the Wrexham game starting just into the 4th Round and then them clinching promotion for the 3rd straight year.  So between all that celebrating today and just trying to follow the rest of our draft, I purposefully stayed out of this thread all day to give it a good read through later, lol Here's some responses to some of the things said today, sorry, it's a bit lengthy, but I've gone like 24 hours without getting to talk T-Mac, I was having withdrawals, hahaha. All of this The new staff was not good this past year, to the point that the fan base were calling for heads to roll just a few weeks into the season, it was pretty ugly on the Arizona boards.  The offensive play calling was pretty atrocious as well, and as mentioned here, Fifita took a massive step back this year and was constantly missing T-Mac when he got open and thus the bad/late throws were also causing some of the contested catches he had to make. Plus like you said, the entire offense was just to throw to T-Mac no matter what the coverage because we had no other receiving weapons.  Teams were constantly double teaming him directly off the snap and it was very rare for there to not be a safety already over the top on him before every snap too.   In a way, I'm actually surprised he put up the stats that he did, everything was stacked against him and he still put up 1,300+ yards. I'm actually not sure it has been mentioned, as it was something I never brought up this past year in talking about him on purpose, I didn't want it to sound like I was making any excuses for him, and I don't remember seeing others talk about it as I might have then jumped in too. He missed all of fall camp and only started practicing days before the season opener and at least publicly, it wasn't certain he'd even play the first game, which of course he then went out and put up 300 yards lol.  He also tweaked his ankle at one point about 5-6 weeks into the season.  Came out for a play or two to get checked, then came back in and kept playing but was a step or two slow the rest of the game but seemed mostly fine the rest of the year. In fact, for a few weeks after that, there was a vocal portion of the fan base that were hoping he'd just shut it down for the season because how bad the offense was and felt he was hurting his draft stock and risking injury at the same time.  But as everyone also knew, he wasn't going to quit on his teammates, in particular his QB in their last year together (will get to that later) I do think the original injury and lack of fall camp did keep him a half step slower than the year before at times, but it didn't stop him from still being an All American. This is also another reason T-Mac is a great fit with Bryce, once they get their chemistry down, the two are going to thrive on off script plays. T-Mac and Arizona's QB had played together since the 8th grade and were best friends, they basically shared a brain on the football field and it showed.  It's given him so much experience working off script, while finding and sitting in the holes in coverage to give his QB a big target as they scramble. Yep, smart, swagger, but also a GREAT teammate. When Arizona's coaches left after 2023 season, the assumption was that T-Mac, Fifita, and our top LB (who all went to the same HS together, and with Mason Graham too) were going to follow them to Washington.  In fact, T-Mac was a QB until 8th grade and switched to WR only because of Fifita, he's thrown a TD pass for us too, so he can be used in gadget plays. The day after we hired the new coach, he invited any players to come and talk football in his office, T-Mac and Fifita organized a large group and they talked with him for 2 hours.  When it was done, all the players left but T-Mac and Fifita stayed back and basically told the coach they were staying and were going to keep the team together as much as they could and they did, we only lost a few players (too bad the new coaches sucked lol). Both of them also then turned down some NIL money and told them to use it to give to other players on the team to help keep as much of it together. There's a good ESPN article about this a while back, maybe I'll try to find it. But THIS is the type of kid you want to build around, he's the full package and it's why I never missed a chance to let you guys know he was always the player we should have been targeting.
