Greg Jennings IS having a great rookie year. Chad Jackson may NOT be our #1 this season. What I don't see is your argument nor am I seeing what you're surprised about. And in regards to the Porter situation, I'm sure BB knows much more than you, my friend. Believe it or not, BB does know something about football and he does knwo something about the Patriots. So relax.

Am I wrong in thinking that most people here realized that rookie WR's rarely flourish in their first year?

you are correct in everything you said..... people need to chill out and give players time. people who expected Jackson to be our #1 or #2 right away dont know football or the way that the patriots are built and operate. people who expect him to be that and a gamebreaker starting next season have their expectations correct and if he doesnt start contributing more then will have reason to b#$ch

Take a step back and breathe for a second. Please. I"m beginning to get tired of Chad Jackson complains.

How did my original post saying that many on this board are judging CJ too harshly and he compares favorably to most of the WR's taken in this past draft turn into a complaint about CJ?

Most rookies don't.

Most rookie WR's don't have good 1st seasons but most of the ones that turn out to be great do,

T. Owens 520 yds, R. Moss 1313 yds 17 td's, T. Holt 788 yds, A. Boldin 1377 yds. keyshawn 844 yds, jerry rice 927 yds, tim Brown 725 yds, marvin Harrison 836 yds .

Regarding Jennings, what's the Packers record????

(1-4) Nuff said.

What does Jennings have to do with the Packers record? Next time you use a phrase like "Nuff Said," try saying something that actually makes sense.

I love your 6 months later scouting reports. Can you please direct me to the post you made during draft time when you say everyone knew Jennings was more of a finished product? Thanks. If not, shut up because you don't know anything about Greg Jennings. My guess is you never even saw him play in college and if you did, it was once so spare us the Mel Kiper after the fact breakdown.

The next original post you make will be your first...WTF do you ever add here except being rude to everyone?

Jennings has had a good season so far. There things that help. He played in a similar offense in college, and he played Z, X, and Zebra, so he came in with a good understanding of all three positions, which one of the biggest things that limits rookie WRs.

He's mature for his age.

He ran a 4.42 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. When did that become average?

PonyExpress · 10-09-2006, 09:50 PM

You're right... he was supposed to have average speed, then shocked everybody at the combine... sorry. I loved this kid. He plays like Deion Branch, he catches passes like he started in the cradle, and seems to have fun on the field. Would have been happy with him as a Pat. Interestingly, I believe he was drafted with our original 2nd rd selection, which we traded to GB to move up for Jackson. He played big in big games (Virginia and Michigan St, I believe). Obviously the Pats wanted to go in another direction and it's too early to make judgments...

Chad Jackson is washed up.

He was injured, then he was great when he caught the touchdown pass.

I think that was the highlight of his career. Why hang on? He should retire now before he embarasses himself like Willie Mays with the Mets.

I'm going to compile a list of all these negative nancies who are "off the Chad Jackson bandwagon". When he turns into an elite wide receiver, I'm going to come back and expose all the folks who were too impatient to wait until at least midseason to make a judgment on the guy.
