Re: Chad Jackson trade revisited

I don´t know about you guys but when the Pats drafted CJ, I was really excited. I saw the team getting a really physically talented WR, which we didn`t have at the time. We had a lot of overachievers (Branch, Givens...) and now we would get someone who was 6`1 2oo+ running a 4.30 and the coaching staff would turn him into the same overachiever. The team had had so much success turning not super-talented athletes into great players and now they were taking a great athlete, this would be an amazing player. Well hasn`t happened yet. (also not really for Maroney).Maybe this pick will be one of the reasons they go back to taking the overachiever and not the great athlete. we will see.

This year, it is either
Tony Simmons = Bethel Johnson = Chad Jackson

or

Mediocre Season Terry Glenn = Chad Jackson

I think it is important to remember how young this kid is. He is going into his third year but he is as young as some of the rookies. Ditto for Maroney too.

Most of the rookies, in fact; not counting rookie UDFAs, here are the players currently on the roster born after 1983:

1. Jerod Mayo [2/86]
2. Matthew Slater [9/85]
3. Kevin O'Connell [5/85]
4. Terrence Wheatley [5/85]
5. Chad Jackson [3/85]
6. Laurence Maroney [2/85]
7. Shawn Crable [12/84]
8. Bo Ruud [9/84]
9. Matt Gutierrez [6/84]
10. Jonathan Wilhite [2/84]
11. Mike Richardson [2/84]
12. Stephen Gostkowski [1/84]
