I’m hoping JC makes me eat my words from some of my recent negative comments about him. This sounds like he might actually be turning his attitude around.The important point is that JCJ's issues are more attitude than physical. There have been reports that the ankle surgery was a comfort management thing vs mandatory. Regardless, it was not new or a major surgery and unrelated to his attitude problem that developed immediately after he left the Pats, AKA his new lucrative contract. The Chargers GM would not have felt the need to apologize to the team for a player who did not work out due to injuries. Even now any limitations on the field are not as impactful as his lack of effort and attitude.
“Reality check – I’m not bigger than the team. I’m not bigger than nobody in here,” Jackson said. “This is a team sport and I have to do whatever everybody else is doing. I want to be a part of the team. This is my team. This is home for me, man. This is where I want to be. I don’t want to go nowhere else. I want to finish my career here also.
“…That’s what I feel – this is where I belong. A lot of people come here and can’t handle Bill. He finds those guys like me. Not that he makes you, but he finds those guys and I’m one of those guys he found – undrafted came in, bought into the program, and got paid. It’s him. He’s a part of it. I don’t want to play for nobody else.”
