I was trying to be as gentle as possible with my sarcasm.
Slater,Washington,Aiken etc are ST's,who could fill in as temp wr's.
Unlike these named,Chad Jackson is training as A...how can I put this....as an ACTUAL wide receiver.In the worst case,he's #4,backing up Gaffney.At the same time he is the ONLY back-up to Randy Moss.
Whether he reaches his potential is a question for later on,but for now,he's the only WR,besides Moss,who presents the possibly of a double team.
Do you think that when CJ is split out wide that the defense is going to ignore his size and speed and come to the conclusion that he's not going to catch it,so why bother?
I don't think so...and this is the flaw in your arguement.
Jackson has this intrinsic value,just like Stallworth did,last year.
See....he easily makes the team because of the threat he presents opposite Randy Moss.
None of these others are real wr's and the opposition def co.know this.
Also,once again.....he's still young and getting short money.All I want him to do is catch a couple of long bombs in the first couple of games.Once he gets on tape,you'll see what I mean by intrinsic value.
