Norm and Goose on character issues (DeSean Jackson)

[SALADIN]

I thought I was the only Kevin Smith fan around.

I'd love for the Cowboys to take him at #28, if he's still around.

I like the chances of him being available in the 2nd round. RB tend to slide and with this draft not being the deepest in years, a good and (productive) RB will be available in the 4th, if not later.

Put his production against any 1st rounder!!!

oh, and I haven't heard of any character or attitude issues with him so he must be a Warrick Dunn prospect.

Thanks, that was quite insightful and really helped answer his question!

You're welcome.

I like him as a return guy as well, it never hurts having a game breaking player with elite speed and considerable 'wiggle'.

Hard to have an ego with guys like Witten, Romo, and Owens surrounding you. I can't see him being too much of a disruption, worst case scenario we got a guy who can fly on KR/PR.

He has been a stud WOW player his whole life. He plays with a lot of emotion! Not sure on his childhood/upbringing.

I'm sold on the player, red flag is of concern and may drop him draftday -

so what yall are saying is DeSean = Ocho Cinco part 2 when it comes to humility......

 

[The Panch]

Were they talking about players being easier to draft for us or was Goose just runnin his mouth again like he did when Tank got signed??

I think the character concerns come with the fact that Desean and some fellow Bears seemed to quit on Coach Tedford in the middle of the season.



I think Tedford was too empathetic(an ex QB) in handling Longshores regression. He has benched other players for performance issues. I remember during the USC game the fans quit on Longshore hoping to see RIley.

Eventually in the Armed Forces game Tedford quit on Longshore.

Also take into consideration that Marshawn Lynch also had "character" issues before the draft.

I think this guy could have been a lot better had the starting QB job been settled.

With the QB talent watered down in the NFL "smurf" receivers will be a niche position especially if the QB talen trend continues. Taller recievers give you extra leeway when you throw off target. FOr every Steve Smith and Santana Moss you tons of kevin williams that can only play 3 or 4 wide out.

Hey, I did said thanks!

My info is also from Cal students (some former) who actually know him and my good friend, a Berkley police officer who played football at Cal and works on the field security for all the home games.

I'm not saying that my intel' is better than yours but as someone who actually lives here in the Bay Area, attends several Cal football games a year, who works with more Cal grads that you can shake a stick at (not to mention the one I lay next to) and did I mention my buddy who is a former player and officer for the campus police? Just seems really weird that they never mentioned your "insight" on him. Perhaps the people you know who actually know him have different opinions.

There are enough tinkle contest on this board and this doesn't need to be another but I will call B.S. when I see it.

and B.T.W. For every Antonio Bryant you can do your little Google image searches on, I can find twice as many Michael Irvin's in NFL history who had just as much attitude and twice the talent. I wonder now that Irvin has been brought into the conversation if your perspective on attitude (with respect to WR's) will be amended?

...

When you can cite examples of Irvin quitting on routes either at Miami or Dallas, then perhaps your 'insight' might hold some water let alone the logic...Congrats on all your 'connections' and 'insight' and anything else you want to wrap in quotes but character issues are character issues, like 'em or lump 'em...BTW, I'm actually one of the cofounders of Google living in the Bay Area too...wonder what else I can claim

But comparing Jackson to Irvin?...Yeah, very similar
