Dexter Jackson

just in time for the bucs game..lol

Dexter Jackson is signing a contract to join the practice squad of the Carolina Panthers today, a league source said.

The second-round draft pick from Appalachian State in 2008 by Tampa Bay never received a shot with the Buccaneers, and fell out of favor after general manager Bruce Allen and coach Jon Gruden were shown the door. Jackson had a high ankle sprain when he was cut on Aug. 31, and has been out rehabilitating while teams have called about him over the last six weeks.

The Panthers have had issues with their return game, and if Jackson picks up the offense quickly there is a chance he could be promoted to the 53-man roster at some point.

I like the move. He's more of a project but a guy that could work out as a solid WR in the future. The Bucs just expected too much too soon because they were dumb enough to spend a 2nd round pick on him. But for the immediate future, I'd rather give the opportunities to K.Moore.

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
