DJax wasn't the same player after he.....

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Remember how he used to do that little stutter-step.....

....fake-out move and take it all over the field? Why did he stop doing that? You know I'm right.

[Birdwatcher]

Hows this?

..what is the true cause of DJs success, is it because he finally made some above average effort and if so what was he motivation?? Wanted to be better or just trying to cash in??


Second, was his success due to Chip's system and leaderships??

I don't have a clear answer Im guessing its somewhere in between.

What I do know, is AR had some issues with him along the lines of what Two Gap mentioned and now the next coach is irked enough to cut him.

I don't think is coincidence.

Reid targeted DJax 52% of the time, Kelly, last year, took it up to 65%...hmmm, think that might have added to his numbers? Then, in the last 3 games, he put up less than 200 yards combined.

What? He just had a career year! And started catching red zone passes to boot. Yeah. He's not the same. He's better.

What is wrong about what he said there?

Jackson took that big hit from Robinson and his play clearly diminished. He then admitted to not playing as hard because the contract situation was bothering him. These aren't disputable opinions.

You're the person looking at Desean Jackson the least objectively. He's a great talent but he has a storied history. Just because he had a great year doesn't mean his past can be ignored. He had a great Pro-Bowl year before he mailed it in too.

[TRENT]

Didn't they extend Vick? and then give him a one year

....he needs another contract. Alot like Vick (I guess that's why they're close). His stats can easily be replaced in this offense. Jesus Christ, this offense made f*cking REILLY COOPER look like a superstar!!!

and when did Vick ever turn it on or off for Money? Seems to me the league just figured out after the Vikings game how to play the guy.. He never squaked about his paycheck Ever.

Why, because I'm not just falling in line with the "DeSean is a diva" camp ? Desean's contract situation happened before Chip arrived. He was cool with it then, but now it's a big enough problem to cut him ? Desean answering this one question about his contract comes nowhere even close to what happened before, so why the need to cut him now ? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to go through all of this now, after he bought in to your system and had a career year. If Chip was that worried about any issues with DeSean's contract, why not address it from day one ?

I think it is more than curious that KC isn't mentioned as a possible destination even though they are starved for WR talent. It would be worth watching if the Eagles are forced to cut him--but not until the day before their opener--to see if the Chiefs try to sign him.

And that next year he punked out like a little bitch and basically was mailing it in. YOU know what I'm talking about. You don't want this kind of guy on your team. You want guys that play for the love of the game and for the love of kicking another man's a$$ in, not for money.

You mean Desean was smart enough to not end up like Jeremy Maclin. Torn ACL on your contract year. Maclin was the idiot here, not Jackson.

As much as you guys want to believe it's different, the NFL is a business. They are not playing for your enjoyment. They get 3-10 years to earn most of the money they will make in their lifetimes.

Players are idiots if they "play hard for the team". You play hard for more money and for the future of yourself and your family. Because after you retire, the fans couldn't give a rat's ass about you and yours.

In 2011, Banner fucked Jackson over. I wouldn't have played hard either. I would have played safe. Jackson did. Maclin didn't. Who has the most money?

Desean IS a diva. Even his fans admit as much - and I'm one of them.

And Kelly probably didn't address them from Day 1 because a) he hadn't coached him yet and b) he didn't have a winning record and division title to provide him any clout.

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Holy sh*t

This sh*t you're saying is ridic. Yeah, all that money that Jackson and his family need to survive. Better get enough so he can put beans and rice on the table. I would never want someone in my organization who is motivated by money. I want people in my organization who are motivated by achievement. You can do whatever the f*ck you want.

[Two Gap Penetrator]

When did I say that Vick squawked?

It's what you DO that tells the whole story.

[TRENT]

U ..didn't

It's what you DO that tells the whole story.

Jackson has squawked a couple times about his deal...I was just Making the point that Vick didn't,,,and comparing those 2 makes no sense to me..
