First, I want to address this "maturity" B.S that we as fans continually say like we know what goes on with the team. A few reporters thought he was immature and than we just run with it like we came up wit the idea on our own. We have no idea if CJack is or was immature but would it really be that much of a surprise to Pioli and Bill if a 20 year old was still a little immature. While I'm on the subject of immaturity it's amusing that we bash on a kid like CJack when he's done NOTHING wrong expcet get injured. Learning the offense is another story. The Patriots have brought in several wide recievers who had good numbers before they got here and they couldn't learn the offense. Does the name Donald Hayes mean anything? You guys all make it sound like playbooks are os easy to learn and that everyone should learn them within a day. Thats just stupid. CJack doesn't have to learn just the X position but it was widely reported that the Patriots wanted him to learn X,Y, and Z positions. This is the equivalent of learning 3 seperate playbooks as each position has different responsabilities. So maybe he learned Y but not X or Z yet. So what? Who cares? Give the kid time. I bet he knows it now
Now Alvin, I find it funny that you apparently only remember him being on the field as a blocker. It's amusing because I can recall directly off the top of my head 5 different occasions where they had him run straight down the field or straight down the field and cut to the middle. Each time of which, he got his hands on the ball and either made a great catch or almost made the catch. Now about his "blocking" ability, maybe the reason he was out there is because he was one of our better blocking wide outs. He's 6'2 and strong as hell, so why would it be surprising that they would want him blocking? Let's not be totally naive here people (i know it's hard for some of you who just love to bash people even though u'll never achieve their success).....About the combine, well than your an idiot...Every one does their best when going in for a job interview which is what the combine is. It's one big physical interview, so who isn't going to study (practice) that much harder. Your right though, kids shouldn't study for the SAT's or any other test because it might make them forget something else. God forbid anyone would train for the olympics or anything. We wouldn't want to upset the great Alvin and in turn make a little more money for ourselves. Oh My God what a novel concept, people who live in America want to make more money for themselves. Oh and by straight numbers, technically he is "behind" Bethel Johnson but people need to remember that Bethel played 2 years and still sucked. I'm going to give chad the benefit of this year and I guarantee he makes you look like a complete idiot. I'll end this by saying that I'm glad we dont have some of you making decisions for the Patriots because we would never win another super bowl and you'd all cut rookies after one season if they didn't play like a pro bowler. And if you dislike players who improve themselves to make more money than you should hate the entire team cause thats what they all do. Every player is trying to get better in order to make more money, thats just how it goes big guy.
