Would you add Desean Jackson?

[CowboyRoy]

Zeke needs more passes

The RB position in Dallas is a perfect example of how inept these clowns are at the overall picture. You draft a guy #5 overall and you dont even center your offense around him. Zeke should be catching 5-7 passes a game. If he cant catch then he should never should have been taken 5th.

Then you look at the position as a whole. We are obviously building our offense around the run game. And who are the backups? A bunch of no name scrubs. What? IF you are truly committed to building your team round the run game, then you have 2 or 3 young stud backs in your stable. These clowns are morons. Zeke goes down or and the season is over. I was shocked they didnt draft a guy at least in the round 3 or 4. Although I do love the Gallop pick.

 

[kskboys]

No. We got a pile of young guys w/ good talent. Adding a moronic aging malcontent would be stooopid.

 

[Ebnorice]

I hate that fansided site, always have to pause the vid that starts when you click an article. Gets old.

The website is just a fake news crap stirring homer website imo.

 

[9of11]

I'll take anybody who can help the team...

 

[CharlieWhigg]

One of the bigger misnomers is Jackson can only be run post patterns.

He’s a more complete WR than either Thompson or Austin.

Never said either guy was a complete receiver, we just already have them. It would probably cost more to acquire Jackson than he's worth. We've already got Thompson and Austin

 

[John813]

He still has some jets, but I hate him. lol

Well to acquire him probably wouldn't cost much at all. The contract you would have to take on would be the issue.

He's also still a much better WR than either Thompson or Austin. People should stop using those guys as reasons to not want Jackson. If the contract is the issue, that makes sense. What doesn't make sense is thinking Austin or Thompson is Jackson's equal.

When your trying too look smart but don't realize zeke went 4th not 5th
Sorry I had too lmao...also zeke has had more carries then any back since he's been in? Our coaches might not be the best but let's cool the team bashing we built a promising young core.
Oh we haven't won a bowl in a while 13 of 32 franchises never won so look at things in context.

My issue with Jackson isn't what we already have on the roster. My issues are age, health history and what his personality would do to the locker room, in that order. He would probably be the best WR on the team when healthy. Would he be so good to overlook the three issues I pointed out? Maybe, maybe not.

People are acting like he's missed a ton of games recently. He's played in 29 of his last 32 regular season games.

For comparison, the WR everyone seems to love, Allen Hurns has played in only 21 games his last 32 regular season games. Funny how Jackson is injury prone but in the Hurns lovefest threads, Cowboys fans don't see him as injury prone.

So the injury angle makes no sense to me. And as for his age, he's not had nearly the wear and tear that other WRs have given how he plays.

My only concern with him is the fact he carries an $11MM salary this year. That's beyond steep.

I don't have the same level of love for Hurns that you describe.

Jackson has only missed 29 of 32 games but he's been hampered and played in others, making him a shell of the terrorizing deep threat that would make him so attractive to an offense. So it's not as simple as only 3 missed games. That's why the injury angle is more than a footnote.

And age means something. It means more for guys who rely almost exclusively on their speed to be effective. I don't know when the wall will come, but 32 (which he turns in Dec.) is typically closer than 28. Just to give you an example, if we traded for Earl Thomas and signed him to a 3-year extension (so he played 4 years for us), his last season he would be as old as Desean is this season. It's a factor.

We should keep in mind that TB wants to get rid of him because they think Adam Humphries is a better option. I'll let that sink in.

I haven't even addressed the salary, but you did so more than adequately.

 

[kskboys]

We really don't know how our current WR corps is going to pan out. However, adding Desean is NOT the answer.

Tampa wants to dump his salary. If they trade him now, they save the full $11MM against the cap. If they cut him, they only save $3.5MM.

No one said he's some super stud. But he's arguably better than any WR on our roster and certainly a better WR than the two "speed" guys we brought in. So any argument that starts with he's not as good as what we have is silly.

The only real reason for not even entertaining him is the reality that he's not worth $11MM this year and $10MM next.

And since his $11M is all base salary and picked up by the acquiring team, nobody should make that deal. Even if you think he's the 2016 version of Desean, that's a crazy price tag.

And at the same time he would immediately have the worst attitude of any WR on our roster.

Every team that's paid him has wanted to dump him soon after.

Who cares?

I'd really only need him for a season or two at most.

 

[jrumann59]

Money aside if he still has deep speed, which I doubt considering all the injuries he has had. He is better WR than Austin anyone willing to argue that is dumb. Austin will make most of his money catching things within 10 yards of the LOS and and trying to make guys miss. Austin is not a Go route type of receiver, if these coaches think that running him Go's are the best use for him then this team will be in trouble.

 

[NotForLong]

No. He would out run Dak's throws

Whether he is better, the same, or worse in this offense is unknown. It's all about situation and circumstances and I don't know that those are right here. The only way to know is to bring him in and use training camp and preseason to find out. I would entertain bringing him in for a look if he's cut by TB, but agree with not trading and taking on that contract.
