Chad Jackson is no Superman..yet
 

WR is not a position that a player usualy comes in and contributes or carries any kind of load right off the bat.. it does happen (look at this season) its not so often though. Also there are alot of Rookie WR's who have a great great rookie year and than are never heard from again..

One thing is certain...we wont see much of Jackson for the rest of the season..if he hasnt gotten Bradys attention yet, he certainly won't get it in the postseaon..looks like its up to Caldwell, Faulk, (hopefully) Maroney and Watson to carry this team as far as receptions go from here on out. We'll probabbly use jacksons speed to stretch the field in absolute desperate situations (man we could have used him vs MIA) and maybe just maybe something magical happens and he catches one and brings it to the house and brady and he build on that for next season... But this is the NFL and it is any given sunday (we know this better than most fans).. I could be eating crow and Jackson could catch for 150+ yds every game from here on out to the bowl.. who knows...

The poistion we are in, Theres not much you can do except sit back and let Belicheck Coach himself out of this and Brady be the cool calm collected qb he is and lead his team out of the jaws of adversity like he has done so many times in the past...We have to stop zeroing in On one savior or an answer to our problems... Randy Moss, Deion Branch, and David Givens arent lining up with Brady anytime soon. Just root for the guys we have to play at their best and stay on the same page because simply thats all that we are missing--- the fire and dedication that some of our teams of the past had. The D is holding up, I dont know what the concern of the defensive backfield is..Our D is Really Good. But When the offense turns over the ball so easily and you have to keep jumping back on the field by the 3rd 4th qtr u are gassed and some plays u might not have given up earlier in the game you do...

Not the best situation for a Defense full of older vets...who probbably get gassed a little sooner than the young guns.

A offense where Recievers are fired up and making plays and balls dont get fumbled and we'd be right back in this...as favorites...thats not something a superstar Receiver is gonna bring to the table thats just something that you either wake up on sunday with or dont..

let it play out guys, and represent the red, blue, and silver proud... one and done or not.. I have high hopes for this team for atleast the next 5-6 seasons.

I just wish we had a better sense of when CJ will be on the field again. I really think that if healthy, he could be key to this offense down the stretch.

But then again, I wouldn't have blamed them for taking it real safe with him and putting him on the IR. Obviously, they won't be doing that as they would not have released Gabriel if Jackson were to miss the rest of the season including postseason.

Hammys and groins are a bytch, and although a lot of posters on this board might not take that type of injury seriously (probably b/c they've never played sports), they are a lot scarier than broken bones and such. Those are much more tangible, once they heal they heal, and you can move on with confidence. That's not really the case with a hamstring.

At this point, we've posted the numbers of rookie wideouts so many times, it's just not arguable: you can't expect much from a rookie wide receiver, no matter his talent. Period.

oh yeah I forgot to add.. add on, criticize, agree or flame me..all is well.. let's just try and keep things positive..

BradyManny..

yeah you speak truth. Ive played TE since High School and Ive pulled my groin.... It defentaly Limits your role as a receiving threat.. 5 weeks later when your just jogging you def still feel it. Never had Hammy problems but I could imagine... its such a big muscle it probabbly kills. What is a WR without legs anyway?

Re: Chad Jackson is no Superman..yet
 

The NFL is full of great WR's who had crummy rookie seasons. Generally it's year 3 that WR's break out.

Sure there are the occasional rookie WR phenoms but it's rare.

I think if Chad can get healthy and do the work to get on the same page as Brady & BB then he could be a stud down teh road.

Right you are Sporin...

So what do you guys think about our receivers just not seeming to care (except of course old glory)

caldwell as well, hes laid his body out a few times and done his share.

Re: Chad Jackson is no Superman..yet
 

I just cant, I dont have the energy to post again, how much I hated this pick, and why. Florida WRs if you have seen one, you have seen them all.

Re: Chad Jackson is no Superman..yet
 

No offense, but that's just silly.

Re: Chad Jackson is no Superman..yet
 

Generalizing is not all that helpful. Hating a guy because he was a Florida WR is silly. He played for different coaches, in different systems, than the plays you "hate." Hating for this reason is silly. Try to keep an open mind.
