PFT: Chad Jackson a problem child pre-draft - New England Patriots Forums

ironwasp · 10-17-2006, 10:21 AM

This comes straight out of a PFT report about the Moss to Pats trade gathering steam, and caught my eye:

"Besides, we think the Pats realize that the receiver position attracts and/or creates prima donnas. Hell, they drafted Chad Jackson, whom one team took back to the airport early after a horrendous visit in which his cell phone went off twice during a meeting with the head coach. At one point during the visit with said team, Jackson muttered, "I don't want to play here anyway."

These guys are right/wrong in more or less equal measure as far as I can work out.

I found him saying "i don't want to play here anyways" pretty hilarious.

Yeh, we need to cut him immediately and sign another TE.

I hear Fred Baxter might be available.

Exactly who does want to play for the Raiders?

I don't know, the way thinsg are looking there are worse ways for receivers to spend their careers than with Matt Leinart throwing the ball their way. A horrible loss last night, but it looks like they are finally moving in the right direction.

Then of course there is the advantage that once retired, you don't have to move to find a hot climate to live in.

Sour grapes are the fruit of choice in failing NFL FO's.

Besides, it was likely BB calling to pop quiz him on the playbook.

I'm a horrible person. A prima donna. My cell phone went off during an interview once.

I got the job, by the way.

If Chad Jackson's having a preference of which team drafts him makes him a primadonna, what's that make Eli Manning?

A gigantic douchebag that is only dwarfed by Papa and Big Brother Gump.
