There has been plenty said about Panthers rookie WR Dwayne Jarrett over the last couple of days and most of it suggests he's not living up to his potential -- at least not yet. I'm not suggesting by any means Jarrett is a bust, but these comments suggest to me that the rookie needs to start stepping up his game if he's going to be a factor this season for the Panthers.

   Here's a sample of quotes about Jarrett:

WR Steve Smith on Jarrett: "He has a little bit of a learning curve. He has to get a little better, a little quicker."

WR coach Richard Williamson on Jarrett: "He’s got to get better at route running. We have a sense of urgency around here. Everything has got to be quick. You have to move and be quick and get away from the press and things like that. He needs to work on all of that. He has a big body, so you can’t be a Tinkerbell out there. You have to be like a bull in the closet. He’s got a big body, now use it. Knock those guys around and get off the line of scrimmage and do what you have to do. But don’t try to finesse the (defensive backs) because you’re not a finesse player."

WR Drew Carter on Jarrett: "It's not going to be something where you're given the job like at USC or Ohio State or wherever you're at. You come in on scholarship, so you know you're going to be around. Guys fight for jobs here. You've got to put forth effort every day and people are coming after you."
