I've got a non-camera issue if I may be so bold. Just browsing various threads today, I noticed about a half-dozen different posters in a half-dozen different threads say something like "I predict that Chad Jackson is cut" or "Chad Jackson is a bust. Time to move on."
What gives? We have a very athletic WR who played extremely well in a Pro-Style offense in Gainesville. His rookie year, he looked like a typical rookie receiver. He made some plays, left some others on the field. He had the confidence of Belichick to get playing time in critical situations, which to me says a lot.
He tears his ACL covering a kick in the playoff loss to Indy. Belichick thinks enough of him to PUP him. Belichick thinks enough of him that even though he hasn't practiced at all so far, he activates him after two weeks, requiring somebody (Kareem Brown?) be cut to activate Jackson to a WR position that is stacked, when it would have been very easy to IR him. Why?
Because Bill Belichick felt that Jackson could contribute to a record-breaking offense / special teams.
So what's the basis for the "bust" talk?
