Forget Moore/Clausen, Let's Talk LaFell/Jarrett

LaFell admittedly had a horrible game. Should Jarrett start next week? I'm not on his jock but he looked like a better option for our second receiver. The coaches know more than any of us and obviously don't like him for whatever reason, but when thrown to he makes catches. His YAC is probably negative, but possession wise he is solid. So I know the hot debate this week is Moore or Clausen, but should Jarrett get a starting look over LaFell for a few games?

I just don't see where LaFell played "horrible." He had one drop. Made some nice blocks. Neither of them is a true #2 right now, so I think they will probably end up rotating them.

He didn't produce. He was targeted 8 times, catching 2 passes for 21 yards.

LaFell is going to be a good player, but DJ is the better player right now.

Yeah he was targeted 8 times. Two catches. One was horribly thrown off target. Another was a bad throw. One was a drop. One he got us 30 yds on a PI penalty. So thats 6 of the 8. I dont remember the other two. Am I saying he tore it up out there? Absolutely not, but it wasn't that bad. I'm glad Jarrett did well, though.

The PI penalty isn't counted in the targets number (not 100% certain in that).

WR is just a really hard position to learn. Let the game come to the rookie and send DJ out there.

DJ had about all of the production that you could ask for out of the 3rd WR in Carolina's offense.

By the way your avatar is absolutely ridiculous, in a wonderfully great way.

    • The trade below a few years ago was so bad and in favor of the Ravens, tf was Arizona doing Cardinals receive: Marquise Brown and 3rd round pick  Ravens receive: 23rd overall pick 
    • keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.
