Darin Gant's Tweet on Jarrett

[CLTPanther]

NE, Houtson, Indy, NO, etc. Put Jarrett in a team that is a passing team.....he would be solid. No doubt. He is what he is....and a QB would love a big old target they know will catch anything for yards. People want to bash him b/c of his weaknesses....good coaches just recognize and play to strengths. Jarrett probably doesn't need to start.....but he has proven enough he should be part of gameplans for what he does so well.

Well if he doesn't start, he'll never see the field with our extensive 2 wr sets. Hard to be part of a game plan that is Run, Run, 2 wr set pass, punt. Run, 2 wr set pass, run, punt.

and that goes back to the big picture of QB not being the only problem in Carolina.

I have a theory that Clausen will make DJ look good.

How can that happen if Fox doesn't let D.J. in the game....

[Happy Panther]

How about we let Clausen coach?

And play QB and WR. And return kicks.

I should be a GM

^^ agree

I have never been a fan but I have to say he hasn't looked that bad actually. Really not sure what the deal is!

maybe he doesn't block as well as Fox thinks he should.

I gave up on Jarrett 2 or 3 years ago... But after this, and our prior history with WRs, I'm almost wondering if it would be different with a new coach. We hear how he often kills it in camp, making amazing catches and such, yet he barely makes it each year. When he does make it, we all wonder what he'll do when he's given his opportunity, and he's never really given one.

I believed before that he was given several opportunities, but stepping back and looking at it after Sunday's debacle, I seriously wonder if it's a personal thing between Fox and DJ. I'll give DJ poo for his role in it and I've thought he was a bum, but as other people have said, we have shown an inability to develop talent at the WR position.

Think about it, NO other WR has developed since Smitty's been here. And I think Smitty's development should be attributed more to his talent/skills and own personal desire to get better. Moose once said Chicago is where WRs go to die, I think he had that wrong. Our track record is horrible. Almost 10 years without a legitimate 2nd option ever emerging and DJ falls under that umbrella.

No doubt I think he's played a role in it, but I know what it's like to have a coach make an example out of you just because they can, it's like they enjoy trying to embarrass you. It feels more and more like that is what's going on here... And I'm not discrediting Gettis at all because I called it early in preseason that he should get PT this year and may turn out being somewhat of a steal...

well, reports are there are many in the organziation that still think highly of Jarrett. THAT points to the fact there are different stances within this organziation........(and those reports are even coming from reporters that make there Jarrett bias well known). Something is fishy.

from the casual eye....Jarrett looked to of been the most ready to play as the starter week 1. After game 1 again, a large percetnage of the board again thought Jarrett looked the best with limited action to be the best guy for the job (not that saying that means a great deal of his ability). Fox has made enough moves to question his decisions in regards to depth chart management outside of the WR spot by his past actions. (Jake, Godfrey, etc.).

I don't think Jarrett is a Fox guy......and Fox is exercising the little power he has by not playing the kid. Now, I also clearly don't think Fox fits what Fox does in the NFL. Fox clearly is not a guy imo by the moves recently that has a lot of say in what is going on. Is he playing the guys that give us the best chance to win???? That certainly can be questioned based on past actions of his. Everything that we have seen in recent history just imo points to Fox not being able to coach and play to strengths of his roster. The roster we currently have just doesn't seem to fit his old and stale offense.......one which features the same exact formations, plays, and tells of the past 2 seasons.

Exactly. With the personnel mistakes the last 2 years specifically, I have really started to look back and wonder what was going on with several guys we've had.

James Anderson for example... I thought the guy should've been starting over Diggs for almost 2 years. He wasn't given the chance. When Diggs went down, Anderson showed out and now he's a starter but playing on a one year deal. And I might add, he's looked impressive in the first 2 weeks.

Colbert continuously given the starting job opposite Smitty... smh...

Godfrey, as you mentioned...

Deshaun Foster over DWill for awhile there...

Dwayne Jarrett...

[Happy Panther]

This is hardly the time to be evaluating WRs. Moor completed 6 passes and overlooked wide open receivers multiple times. DJ could be Jerry Rice this year and we wouldn't know it.

[Montsta]

yep. regardless if you think he sucks or never given a chance.....there is no excuse for what is occuring.

Pretty sure Jarrett is simple case to figure out. Fox ain't playing him b/c he doesn't like him......there are however people in the org that like him and want Fox to give him a chance (and they refuse to let him go until Fox does it). Fox isn't calling the shots on who comes and leaves....we know that already.

The reason he ain't playing ain't playbook knowledge......all WRs get plays mixed up and there is nothing to suggest Jarrett does that at a higher % than the norm for the position. Fact always remains when forced to play the guy he has always looked decent and made you ask the question....why not play him more? If you evaluate only his reps he is given...the kid has never looked as bad as some try to portray him.

Exactly. I by no means think Jarrett is a superstar, but I also don't see anything about any of our other options that indicate they are any better at this point.

I just don't understand why Fox won't put him in as the #2 for a consistent 2 or 3 game stretch. And if you have no intentions of playing him, just cut him already and don't waste each others time.

I should be a GM

I should be a commentator and only talk about the panthers on espn. Even if a baseball topic comes up I'll change it to panthers.

James Anderson looks like he brings a ton of energy to our D. I love our LB corps.
