Jackson may not deserve this nickname yet, but I'm giving it to him

Once he goes through his growing pains (including not over-pursuing), Donte "Action" Jackson just might become a notable corner in the league. The kid has obviously got some talent and skills and...swag! Let's see if he can corral that "wild stallion-esque" type quality into fundamentally sound focused aggression.

Anyway, getting to the reason for the thread, the name "Donte 'Action' Jackson" is cool and all. It is. But it's a little long (especially for writing). I've seen some refer to him as D-Jax. Well, we know that's not gonna fly. I've seen D-Jac. Well that just doesn't sound right. It's like a bootleg version of D-Jax. And Jac is just too close to "jacked" for my liking, so I was thinking..."Donte Action Jackson...Action  Jackson..." :thinking:  Then it came to me..."A-Jax!" 

A-Jax, Ajax (whatever), the name for him is A-Jax! You saw him clean up that third down play last night. 

A-Jax it is!

I'm pretty sure he was out of position last night on a wr screen and let someone get to the edge. other than that he played well. gotta imagine he'll be a starter going into the season.

the best part about jackson is you can tell he's the kind of player who literally never stops talking poo on the field.

Jackson looked like a rookie and had good plays and bad just like Corn. He wasn't great and didn't suck. But he played with heart and speed neither of which you can coach. You either have it or you don't. In time he will improve and be a legitimate starter. As for the name I thought Cam had dibs on that honor.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
