Well since people like to say he's the next coming of Jerry Rice(I'm not one of them), let's compare is rookie year
16 games/49 catches/927 yds/4 TDs(1 running)
Anyway, I'm sure there's quite a few that have had similar numbers in their rookie season, so I wouldn't call it unrealistic, just unlikely. And here's one close to home, Branch had better numbers than anyone of those receivers.
You can name on one hand the amount of succesfull rookie recievers. Just because you have a great QB does not mean that anyone with talent is destined to be great.
Jackson by all accounts will be something special, But it will take time.

Great post. Nice research. My hope for Jackson was he would come in, play with Branch and Troy and be the No. 3 or 4 guy. In other words, low expectations for the first year. I guess that's different than those who said Jackson would make us forget all about Branch and Givens, a thought that at the moment, is completely laughable.

Here are Branch's rookie stats: 13 games, 43 catches/489 yards/2 TD. Not too special.

That's not laughable. Jackson has more TD's than Branch and Givens combined right now.

Jackson by all accounts will be something special, But it will take time.
I have a question though, what are the unrealistic expectations? 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 yards?
Personally, if he could get between 5-600 yards, I'd be tickled pink. Also, were those receivers as hyped up as Jackson? Honest question, because I don't remember.
Chad Jackson: unrealistic expectations?
