Interesting Chad Jackson Story

[PromisedLand]

Were you not around that day/week?!

I guess I wasn't. What happened?

Excuse me??

Are you upset because I posted the truth about Bethel Jackson? Nobody wants to admit that he was a poor choice. NE needed him the most this season.

The real sting is that they expended a 2nd AND 3rd round pick on the guy. I saw his picture on a milk carton last week.

I really don't get why so many Patriots fans want to label Chad Jackson a bust already. Everyone knows that you have to wait at least a couple seasons before evaluating draft choices.

This is even more true for WRs, since rookie WRs rarely do much in the NFL. It seems to be the toughest position to make the transition at, because they must run their routes so much more precisely and must learn how to read and react to defenses at the line of scrimmage (something they are almost never asked to do in college).

So lets give Chad at least one full off-season to get comfortable with the pro game and the system before we declare him a bust. I, for one, am still holding out hope that he will develop in to a 70+ catches per year guy.

Go check the user "AlisonlovesBrady" and "I'mRonBorges". Those are Casale. Check all her, er his posts.

Jerry Rice only had 49 receptions and 3 TD's as a rookie. The Pats must excercise patience with Jackson.

So you're saying after losing both starters we need to spend all of our time on a rookie that didn't play in camp instead of trying to get 2 veteran NFL receivers on the same page as Brady so we can make a playoff run.

I guess Belichick disagrees with you.

This isn't the Arizona Cardinals.

The Arizona Cardinals are not the best example when it comes to poor wide receiver play.

More like they needed him the first three games. When Gabriel hadnt started playing good and Caldwell wasnt doing a whole lot. We didnt need him to win for most of the season and get all the way to the AFC Title game.

My understanding of it is that it went something like this - Casale bashed CJ on his show yet said he couldn't "go into the details", shmessy called into question Casale's boorish tactics, Casale went back and called us patsnerds.com or something of that sort, yet also came onto the board and "anonymously" defended himself from multiple accounts. That makes him a little pathetic, IMO.

Yes, they moved up to get him. Just like Graham.

Beth was rated among the best, if not the best WR in that draft.

NE needed him all season. When your bring in Kight and Gaffney mid season you have issues with WR options.

Are you saying that NE spent a day 1 pick so this guy could red shirt in 06?

This aint college ball.

The exact same thing happened with Ty Warren. Some positions are difficult to learn, and Belichick would rather 'red shirt' a guy than put him out there and make a possible mistake. People here were blasting Warren for a few years, and then what happened? He is now one of the most dominant lineman in the NFL.
