Cowboys TE Blake Jarwin Facing a “Difficult” Season?

*(an important change meeting our eyes)


...Jason Witten back in 2019, Jarwin didn’t get the playing time many hoped him to, leaving doubts as to whether or not he’s starting material. However, the front office signed him to a four-year contract, securing him through 2024.

Jarwin has shown impressive flashes in his few opportunities to do so and it’s not hard to expect a breakout season from him. While his pass-blocking skills are in question, there’s no doubt he’s proven himself as a receiver, often showing off his speed and ability to do damage after the catch.

Now that Head Coach Mike McCarthy is in Dallas, we should expect something more from the tight end position. During his time coaching the Green Bay Packers, McCarthy put a lot of attention to the position...

I'm rooting for him but everyone loves the backup player.
Remember Troy Hambrick? Hopefully Jarwin can do more.

New coaching staff and scheme coupled with the receiving talents of Jarwin makes for a big season in my opinion, Jay Novacek wasn't a devastating inline blocker either. Some may say Jarwin and Novacek don't belong in the same sentence, well, I just put him there

The headline and the article suggest different things. This is what irritates me about media - the headline was designed to grab attention by suggesting Jarwin will struggle, but the article is actually very optimistic and encouraging about what we will see from Jarwin.

Novacek was cool.
A real cowboy on the Dallas Cowboys!

You raise a good point concerning the blocking.
Also, I love the comparison. Let's hope Jarwin can
measure up to it. I'm rooting for him.

Troy would trip over a blade of grass...

Dallas has always emphasized the TE position since as long as I can remember.

 

[Risen Star]

If a guy like Blake Jarwin fails then we're just snakebit.

It's so far past the realm of possibilities that it's difficult to even consider.

Most of the time the headline is written by a copy editor or editor. If they do their job right, it encapsulates and reflects the story.

When I write a poor headline (and I've done my share), the reporters often get the blame for it. I someone calls them to complain, I tell my reporters to blame me.

Fortunately, we have Blake Bell.

Jarwin got paid and now has a starting position to prove himself. Dude is having a great year.

That's how it should be, but these days I think "doing their job right" is grabbing the reader's attention, and it doesn't really matter if it encapsulates and reflects the story. It's a tabloid journalism world these days.

Buuuut in this case I feel like very few like Jarwin enough to be the starting TE.

Well, you do want to grab people's attention with the headline. The difference between tabloid journalism and real journalism is that you want to do it the right way, not by sensationalizing it.

Sometimes that's not that easy, especially in print journalism where you are dealing with space constraints. Summing up a story in three words, for example, can be difficult but necessary.

I'm wary of it just because we haven't seen it. I know that he can be a weapon as the No. 2 guy, but a lot of players fall flat when asked to step up to No. 1. If we decide to go tight end early in the draft, I can't say I'd be against it.

There is a little hesitance because he is not known as a blocker, but I think most like him as a receiver. But even with that, there are some fans that will be negative about anyone that isn't 100% proven, even though it isn't really possible to fill an entire team with players that are 100% proven. Every team has to rely on young guys to step up at times, and while Jarwin still has something to prove, he has at least shown strong signs of being a quality receiving TE. I'm anxious to see how it goes.

 

[CCBoy]

Relevancy? Do the Cowboys need to go directly to a Notre Dame tight end?...

Myself, I think he has the talent and the Cowboys new Head Coach strongly uses his tight ends.

Without a doubt you want to grab people's attention. I have no problem with that at all. But all to often it's with a very deceptive headline. And of course I agree with you about the difference between real and tabloid journalism, I just think in today's world the trend is shifting more and more away from real journalism and tilting more and more toward tabloid journalism. I think a lot of that is because of the advent of the internet and social media. With those tools anybody can start a website or blog and pretend to be journalists, and even sources that were once more reliable likely feel pressure to compete. Unfortunately, sensationalism sells. People relish a good soap opera.

LOL....Was he the Hambrick that insist on.. "What do voluntary mean ? " .. or was that his brother Darren ?
Doesn't matter, both were knuckleheads and it's apparently in the genes.

Yes, there are so many sites out there that people are calling journalism and I wish they wouldn't. Journalism is a profession where people are trained to be the eyes and ears of the public, reporting accurately and objectively on whatever they cover. If someone gives their opinion about what they are covering, then it's clearly marked as an opinion piece instead of an article.

Sadly, some of my peers in the newspaper industry have moved over into the arena of presenting opinion as fact, tossing aside the reporting aspect of presenting the facts and letting the readers draw their own conclusions about them.

Their choice to do that has hurt the rest of us trying to do things right because we get lumped in and so people tend to view what is written with their own biases.
