You all need to realize Jackson isn't good but a rookie

Why can't I get excited about a rookie showing regular flashes of great play?

No one expects him to be all pro his first year.  But its fine to get excited about a rookie coming in, and getting some great plays in.  We all know he would get beat at points.  He is a rookie.  But I'll take him any day over that CB we had last year.

And if we can get wins on top of dealing with rookies and their mistakes (Thomas' route running, Jackson having a bad game)..so now they are learning quality lessons while not causing an L?

That is so much winning in my book.

I’ll take his great plays and energy with expected lapses since he’s a rookie.  You should direct your ire at Captain Munnerlyn, that dude has experience and straight blows.

He has done better than last year.

 

But still has been a liability on quite a few plays

I wonder if Corn is that much worse?

I have no problems with Jackson. He’s what I expected, immensely talented who flashes great athleticism and ability but also getys exposed due to being a rookie. A rookie who is only 1/4 of the way through his first season. He has plenty to work on, but he also has plenty to work with. Combine that with our dismal pass rush and I’m happy we have a guy of his caliber out there to compliment 24.

How the people on this forum think rookies are supposed to perform in their forth NFL game cracks me the hell up.  If they are not bound for Canton as soon as they get drafted, you people think they are terrible, busts, not good or whatever have you.  Christ, give them a chance they are still LEARNING how to play in the NFL.

This is so true.  Black and white thinking is rampant here.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
