DJ finally gets his chance.

Fox kept Jake in to long, and some feel that he waited to long to replace Foster with Williams (I don't agree, but some do). That gives people the impression that he sticks with his guys, but there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

When does Kasay make the list? By the way I hear him talk, retirement is far away. So we have 44 active, because he can't kick-off and with Jarrett added down to 43, so with 4 guys who only play ST and Jarrett... 40 players on offense and defense? Not much depth at any Postion except RB. BTW, when a Fox favorite is cut and is signed by another team...he gets the axe there also.

The suggestion that a guy who's been here for three or four years and was observed by the coaches every day in practice has not been "given a chance" is a tad farfetched to me.

Yes, coaches make mistakes, but "chances" still have to be earned.

Jarrett has more than earned his chance. He put up with all of the negativity and trash from coaches and fans for 3 years. Let's not forget Jake Delhomme went through sitting and watching a sketchy Aaron Brooks play like a hack before leaving.

Not the same situation, but nearly the same circumstances.

I support DJ, but I do not believe in him yet. I hope he makes us all change our opinion.

What has he done to "more than earn his chance"? The team drafted him in the 2nd, cut their starting #2 before DJ got off the congratulatory phone call and then he flat out vanished. The team was practically holding the door for him to come in and start/contribute.

There's a reason he's managed to scrape and claw his way past such talents as Charly Martin and Kenny Moore to actually see the field just a few times. The org isn't stupid and it wants to win and many times in the last three years DJ could contribute best by sitting his ass on a bench, apparently.

Maybe he really has put it together this year and explodes. That'd be f**king awesome and I'd cheer him on like a motherf**ker. Acting like he's the victim of a incompetent/stupid FO that just refuses to let him shine is wrong, though. The guy had/has issues.

What if the bastard got 100 yards and a td.

This place would go kaboom.

What if Eric Shelton ever ran for 200 yards a game and had 4 touchdowns?

What if Chris Weinke ever threw for 400 yards and had 6 touchdowns on game?

Carolina has drafted many players we kept waiting to come though... but guys who didn't. I'm done dreaming about DJ changing his ways around. If it happens -- I would be shocked, and anybody who isn't completely naive about reality, would be too.

3 targets, 2 drops, 1 benching

Its going to be funny when Jarrett disappears once again to the amazement of everyone who supported him. He has shown nothing different then in any past years. Its just the fact we have less talent and a bunch of rookies.

[Zod]

You guys act like the front office didn't want their second round draft choice they cut Keyshawn for to work out.

DJ has had countless chances. He has failed.

I suspect this is his final chance.

I heard you were the mastermind behind this insidious plot.

[The Saltman]

he shouldve have been cut 2 years ago.

[The Saltman]

Hey Slj where u at?

[Mr. Scot]

Like I said before, coaches - even good ones - make their fair share of mistakes.

But with that said, the theory that Dwayne Jarrett is a star in waiting who's only being held back because the Panthers coaching staff just doesn't believe in him? The thinking that it's just a group of factors (none of which are his fault) that have made it appear as if he's an underachiever? The notion that, if he had a "fair shot", he'd dazzle us with feats of receiving skill not seen in years?

I have a pretty hard time signing onto that.

Jarrett hasn't gotten his 'chance" because, by more than one account, he's shown poor work ethic and/or sub-standard intellect. Those things are his own fault, not the coaches.

Like most fans, I hope he steps up and proves he was worth a second round pick, but I'd put the chances of this happening at about 50-50.

Armanti will have more catches than DJ on Sunday.....
