Hackett: Panthers didn't guarantee starting job

Despite the rumors, the Carolina Panthers never guaranteed new receiver D.J. Hackett a starting spot to persuade him to come to Charlotte. "Nah," he said when asked if that had been part of the deal. "That's not my job; my job is just to play, so I don't worry about that." Hackett, who made several fine catches over the course of the five workouts, was talking at the conclusion of Carolina's minicamp practices Sunday. He did say that the chance to get considerable playing time figured into his decision. "Definitely, especially when you've got a good quarterback (Jake Delhomme) to throw you the ball. When you go somewhere and you're the only guy and the quarterback's not putting it on the money, he can't really help you." -- Charlotte Observer

Then who the fuck is gonna start? I think Steve Smith belives allot in Robinson...IDK?

 

Don't say that in front of Collin Mr. Hackett!!

 

...

 

I thought he was a situational WR? I figured Smith Hackett Robinson then moose Jarrett is somewhere in there.

 

More like Smith/Moose/Hackett with Robinson taking the punt returns and an occasional look in the slot.

 

when has he ever played just situationally?

 

I think robinson is the best WR since Joe Montainya.

 

You know maybe like a 3rd down type player. need a 1st down. big target guy.
