It's starting to spook me a little bit. Jackson is starting off like Bethel Jackson did when he was drafted. Occasionally made the long pass catch and ran a few gadget plays. It's looking like deja-vu.

Give him a little more time before you hang that label on him.

No way. No how. Nope.

He's listening too much to 5th Quarter. They said he may be like Bethel. Its ridiculous, the guy was injured a few games and never played. The Pats never put him in to play until he was entirely healthy. Don't give me this Bethel **** until the season is over and done with. Give the kid a freaking break. He plays a good game and his reward is people saying he will be the next Bethel Johnson. Jesus, poor kid.

MrTibbs

Just a thought but I wonder why they dont give him more time on the field to get use to the speed at least.

Rookie + injury + limited playing time. If he's still getting 1 catch per game in the playoff's come back and talk about CJ then.

BTW B Johnson never ran a route in his years like the one CJ ran on the TD.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."

Ok, I have been waiting to say this for a while, now. It is way too early to judge CJ...yet. Wait till December. He is like every aspect of this team. A work in progress. For those of you bandwagoners and nay sayers pay close attention and temper all posts with the knowledge that I am now going to pass on to you. Do not get overly excited or dejected with the team or any aspect of it until December rolls around. This coaching staff uses the entire first three months of the season as a sort of extended training camp. Other teams play the Pats and pull out all the stops to beat them. The Pats use these games to improve certain aspects of their own game. That is not to say they dont develop game plans to beat the opponent, nor is it to say that they change up those plans to put an opponent away late in a game. Of course they do. But why else did you see the Pats feature the pass today, against one of the poorer run D's in the league? Because the passing game needed work. That is why you see close games thoughout the regular season. We've seen it over and over again throughout the BB tenure. Get used to it even if the media never will. The only exception to this was 04, and that is because the team was so solid and ahead of the rest of the league, they just ran away with it.

So, get used to it, kick back, post comments that reflect this knowledge and wait to December, when the coaches take the wraps off.

I was thinking the same thing myself. Tony Simmons did the same thing. Made some huge plays but was invisible most of the time. All were 2nd round picks.

I do want Chad to succeed. The most troubling sign is that he can not crack the starting lineup with the group we have. I would give him time if our WR's were not so bad.

Gabriel the veteran is getting about the same amount of time. I think what we see is a more a product of a ball control offense that plays to it's strengths. If Belichick needed jackson more to win a game we would see him more...and we will. for now, why ruin the kid when you can win without him i think is more the plan.
