NFL Off Topic

Re: NFL Off Topic

Yep, all the players that thought that putting limits on draft picks salary thinking the money will go back to veterans are looking sillier and sillier. Draft smart and you can have four, five, six players playing at an extremely high level for a fraction of the price they will make as free agents in the open market. Jackson is a great fit in Kellys offense, but he isn't the only person who can fit that scheme, as its mostly the scheme not his route running that is getting him open and in these mis-matches. Yes his speed is a thread, but there isn't a lot of technique needed to do a lot of what Jackson did this season.

We could always draft a WR in the 2nd round and trade Jackson to Washington for 2015 and 2016 first rounders!!

Re: NFL Off Topic

Though he'll never win any of the actual major ROTY awards, this is PFF's choice for OROTY:

Spoiler

Warford was their 4th rated guard overall this year and received the highest grade ever for a rookie guard (+22.8). No sacks allowed and only 4 penalties on the year.

I was most excited about him during the Lions draft last year, and it looks like my feelings on him were right.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Exactly.

Any good and/or sane organization doesn't treat him like he's a veteran superstar, but we're talking about the Washington Redskins. The only thing separating them from being mentioned in the same breath as the Browns are the scattered playoff appearances.

They've won a few division titles, won a few superbowls, etc. The criticism of the Skins gets ridiculous. They won the division just a year ago. The dysfunction is real, as is the worry that it's a downward spiral they may not get out of. But no, they are not basically the Browns (sorry Browns fans). And despite every year they are projected to finish last and Dallas is expected to finish first, they are basically the same organization.

Word going around philly is he has become a vital weapon in Kelly's offensive scheme and feels he deserves more. If you notice...75% of the offensive schemes revolve around he and Shady. I think hes putting himself on a pedastal personally. Good quick reciever but has had injury issues and cant really out jump anypne

If he could just stay on the field, Maclin is every bit as good as Jackson, and I think would be in Kelly's offense. No chance they pay him more.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Headcase Wide Receivers don't last long on teams with a Championship building mentality, and if Maclin comes back healthy, with how Cooper has stepped up I don't want to say he becomes expendable but they could feasibly overcome his departure. Wide Receivers are being dug up in the later rounds of the draft (Terrance Williams (rd.3), Keenan Allen (rd.3), Kenny Stills (rd.5).

He's a headcase because he wants a raise? I guess I'm a headcase to then.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Maybe he just wants money?

You know, out of all people I find it hilarious that you were the one who finally came to this conclusion considering how you feel about him.

What is a championship building mentality?

Yeah, that label just follows him from college. Not so much headcase, more a selfish, diva WR mentality. But he's been good since coming to Philly. See how hard it is to shed that label though?

If he can get more money, more power to him. He wants to hold out and miss training camp and whatnot, let him pay the fines and grab his replacement in the draft or FA. Jackson is really good but he is easily replaceable. There's always great athletes, speedsters who come out every year or don't fit elsewhere. I think Kelly's offense would be able to find a suitable replacement quickly.

The Eagles look primed to contend for years to come. They need another piece or two on that defense to really be a Super Bowl contender, but it appears everything else is in place. I think that's what Feared means. They're knocking on the door and a distraction like this, especially so soon after Jackson just got a new deal, is not something they need.

To me, Philly has all the leverage.

He hasn't become a headcase quite yet, but if he goes down this road of continuing to demand an extension, or new contract and pushes this to a messy hold out into the off-season it will become quite the distraction, then yes that would put him in Headcase territory.

I thought the assumptions on this mans personal life were unfair and uncalled for.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I don't think he's a headcase, but he's playing with fire. Good receiver, but he seems to be overestimating his worth to that team.

On that note, it sounds like Terrell Suggs is gonna be expected to renegotiate/extend his contract in it's final year, and if he doesn't he could get the Anquan Boldin treatment.

Re: NFL Off Topic

How the hell can he be having money problems?! S M F H.

Not stereo typing or anything but you do realize the first quarter mil goes for a car. Then the entourage. No concept of saving or managing money. These guys need some guidance or they will end up broke when they are gone. It's a short career. Sad really.

Sad in the "what a waste of an opportunity way" but hilarious from the "******* millionaire goes broke 'cause he's a ******* way." Public education and quality parenting folks.

Re: NFL Off Topic

The NFL has classes as well about money management.

Wait, what did I miss? How did this quote:

“I definitely feel it’s something deserving,” Jackson said at his locker in the NovaCare Complex on locker cleanout day. “We’ll see how that plays out, and hopefully we can work things out smoothly and not have to worry about anything out of the ordinary.

“But I definitely feel like it’s deserving. I’m proven in this league, and after this past year, went out there, no distractions, and just really put it all in for my team and went out there and had a lot of success, so we’ll see how it goes.”


become "he's flat broke, with a bunch of baby moms, expensive cars and an entourage"?

This is the post that started that discussion:

Heard elsewhere that he's having money problems, which is why he's asking for renegotiation.

Ah, I see now.
