Chad Jackson. It was clear in summer camp that Brady despised the kid. First camps he'd wave him hither and yon as he lined up. You know TFB's tolerance for cluelessness. Later in the camp season he just ignored him. Eventually BB moved him back to the 2nd team offense where someone might actually throw to him. Guy did have an all world physique. You could see him yukking it up and chatting with everyone, not focused at all.
I was so pissed at the kid whom I'd wanted drafted, I started a thread something like "Is Chad Jackson a Bust?" and got pummeled (somewhat deservedly) for premature ejaculation of bustness.
Well, first of all that would be one example, hardly an argument that our system is impossible for rookies.
Secondly, Jackson went on to fail in every system he was in, so you can't really chalk it up to the system. He was a bad pick, probably like most busts he had the base level of talent but not the commitment to excel when the competition got tougher. Thats not a system thing.
