ProFootballWeekly: Chad Jackson ready to deliver
 

http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW...pers052408.htm

Word out of Boston is that injury-cursed WR Chad Jackson appears poised to finally make good on the promise he held as one of the top WR prospects in the 2006 draft class. With the possible exception of Kelley Washington, no Patriots wideout passes the eyeball test as well as Jackson. If he can maintain his health, there’s talk that he’ll supplant Jabar Gaffney as the No. 3 option in the WR corps.

One could only hope...

if he stays healthy why not, the sky is the limit for the guy and i wish him all the best since it helps the pats to :D

Re: ProFootballWeekly: Chad Jackson ready to deliver
 

Well, this is the definite make-or-break. I wish him luck... even if part of me likes to see Gaffney persistently making good despite the "journeyman" level he's assumed capable of. He always comes up big in the big games, and he always surprises you by being better than the "glitz" option, eg., stallworth.

But yeah, it would be great if Jackson becomes a surprise "HOLY SH**!!!" option, and one day becomes to Moss what Moss was to Carter, and what Wayne was to Harrison - the next great thing.

Wouldn't bet the farm on it though ;)

I get nervous when a player gets hyped ... the injury curse rears it's ugly head.

Re: ProFootballWeekly: Chad Jackson ready to deliver
 

Yeah worst case scenario, we keep Chad because he has a 1000 yard season, and let Gaffney go... then he gets injured 4 times in the next 3 years. But hey... pay your money, take your choice, at that point.

Glad PFW reports what everyone else is. They continue to sling **** and see if it sticks.

Re: ProFootballWeekly: Chad Jackson ready to deliver
 

Sorry, I need to see some production on the field before I buy any "Jackson appears poised..." hype. Come to think of it, could there be anymore meaningless phrase than "appears poised"?

My boy Chad Jackson is the best at the "eyeball" test. Anybody know what that is? I'm guessing he can locate the ball quickly and has good hands?

Re: ProFootballWeekly: Chad Jackson ready to deliver
 

I know your kidding archives but in case your not it just means he looks the part of a stud NFL receiver just by his built.

I hope they are right, but passing camp isn't a great judge of anything.
