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

This is true, but we went to the SB with a 24-year old Smitty, not a 31 year old Smitty. Big difference there. I'm all for LaFell and Jarrett rotating situationally, and I know there were extenuating circumstances on the Giants defensive packages late in the game that made Jarrett look like an all-pro, but the guy deserves a shot to be in the majority of our 2 WR sets. Maybe it should be more of a 65-35 split favoring Jarrett.

Nethier One of them can beat press coverage so it really doesn't matter. Jerry put the league over his team and fans this offseason. We had chance after chance too get a #2 wr and we didn't because of Jerry's budget. Now were stuck with a rookie with ok hands and a 4 year pussy who with his size alone should punish press coverage and be open for alot of slants and in routes. But he just can't get open nethier one can get open or beat single coverage.

LaFell gives us the best chance to win. John Fox shouldn't be questioned. Jarrett is Matt Moore (2007-2009). Not a Fox guy....therefore you don't get chances.

Didn't Fox draft Jarrett?

I am sure that Fox has input, but I think the final decision is Hurney's isn't it?

Up until this year I always thought it was a team effort between Fox and Hurney that's why we called it a Furney draft.

Fox isn't a GM. He gives input.

Rarely do coaches make the calls. Sometimes they get thrown a bone like Rex Ryan is given 1 late pick to actually draft someone he wants.

screw jarret hes had plenty of chances. put lafell and gettis or armanti in there. If jarret is only "trying" because this is a contract year, he will just do nothing again next year.

[beastson]

Play Gettis, then move Goodson to slot as I mentioned in yesterday's thread

I see no reason to not start Gettis if you started Lafell

[Jaxel]

Speaking of Jarrett, why no jump balls in the endzone to him? He's huge, and can jump...

[BeasonZpantherS]

jarrett is a good wr..i just dont think he has really had alot of chances because he'd come in and make mistakes and they'd pull him and not give him a shot to learn from it. yea fox and hurney drafted him because he was supposed to be the next keyshawn johnson, but a huge kid like that should be a great possession receiver but i guess fox forgot how to teach that, since we had moose and keyshawn which already knew how to play that role. lafell will get better, i think just like the clausen situation he needs time to learn maybe get out there every once in a while make some mistakes and make some good plays and learn how to make it work. he's not gonna learn anything if he's on the bench the whole time. Whenever Matt became QB is when jarrett started playin better because he was also getting alot more throws his way. Jake didn't like throwing the ball to anyone but moose and smitty.

and for a while there it was just smitty he threw it too
