DWI for Dwayne Jarrett

[yem123]

What I always wonder is, if you're getting paid millions, you can't pay for a freaking cab?

I don't have a link to substantiate it but I heard the Bengals were interested in Jarrett and a 2nd rounder for Ocho Cinco.

I thought Jarrett was a legitimate sleeper last year because of the depleted Panthers WR core. He's only been a disappointment so far in the pros and this is just par for the course.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

He's only a rookie and certainly isn't the first person to drive drunk.... he just got caught.

[Blazedestin]

Still, he hasn't lived up to expectations at all. Rookie or not, the Panthers didn't have enough faith in him not to resign Mushin Muhammad to a contract. I wouldn't be surprised if he's released after this incident.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

I would be SHOCKED if he was released after this. Rookie WRs don't really breakout until their 3rd year so give him time.

I understand this, I just thought the stars were aligned for Jarrett to bust some huge numbers in his rookie year. I don't even remember him playing many games at all last season. He must have been really unimpressive in training.

That being said, the Panthers had a lousy QB situation last year, so it's not all on him.

[Blazedestin]

Yeah, I don't know about #1 WR numbers, but you'd expect more than seven catches out of your second round pick...

Well, Steve Smith is always going to get a lot of ball. But he should pick up a lot of defenders too.

[yem123]

Jarrett was inactive for either 6 or 8 games. And not cause of injury, apparently he couldn't understand the playbook...

I'm glad my team drafted his counterpart Steve Smith. :-)

[Joey_Potter]

Jarrett was suppose to be the Panthers #3 Reciever this year...he was INACTIVE half the season because the coach said he was LAZY among other things.

I think if you put the over-21 drinking crowd on a lie-detector test, you'll find out that at least half have driven drunk at one point in their lives. I love how the media makes such a big deal about this.

[Walter]

Not saying DUI-ing is OK; just saying it shouldn't be a huge deal.

ONLY half?

Look, I'll admit, at some stage I would have been over our limit here in Oz (0.05% BAC), but at the most only by a point. The difference lies perhaps in getting caught. As silly as it sounds, how often do you get stopped/tested driving around, even late at night. For me it's practically never, and I've never been tested in the US. It's a one-off, but just on the numbers, I doubt that this is the first, fifth or even tenth time he'd DWI'd.

I agree to that it shouldn't be such a big deal. I was just talking with someone about the whole Spitzer-prostitute thing. My reaction was so what? I'm a little harder on sports stars though, because I think they tend to be idolized and emulated more than politicians. So, naughty boy, don't do it again. Smack!

[Matt McGuire]

People questioned his character and didn't like his route running/speed at USC. Some thought he was a reach in the 2nd round by the Panthers.

I agree with Walter and am not going to nitpick Jarrett, just putting it out there what people thought about him as a prospect.
