Desean Jackson is hands down a better WR than Ted Ginn and we're still trying to put speed on the field and create WR separation, right. Well here's how, according to this article on NFL.com, the Bucs maybe, maybe, releasing Jackson. I'd love to have him here...

I'd take him in a heartbeat and I know Cam likes him but the real question is will Cam's arm be healthy enough to utilize Jackson's speed? Plus where does Deshean fit into our WR room? He stealing reps from Moore and Samuel bc you know he wants to be the starter.

I hear you and I hope that Cam's arm is back to full strength for the entire season. If it is; Jackson, Moore, Samuel, Olsen/Ian Thomas and McCaffery. Dangggg

A couple years ago, would be all over it.  The questions surrounding Cam's shoulder, and our improved young WRs?  Not seeing the fit. 

This. With Moore and Samuel, I just don't see the point of spending valuable cap space on Jackson. I think we'll look to add a WR this off-season, but I think we'll probably look for a bigger target to replace Funchess.

Would have been nice about 3 years ago.  Now somewhat redundant.  

A team has just so much capital (cap space and draft picks).  At some point if you allocate too much of that capital to the same position or style of player you are devaluing your own players because there are only so many snaps/targets to go around.

Agree with LG and others.... no need for this type of WR with Cam's shoulder issues. A Funchess replacement that can be a big red zone target and balance our young, speedy guys is more important to me. I'd love Tyrell Williams from SD, but his price tag is probably going to be out of our range for the position. 

Cutting Torrey might help, but still have too many other holes to fill to justify throwing big money at Williams.

 I don't think that adding Jackson would lower the value on Samuels or Moore. Adding Jackson would open up the passing attack for them, much like McCaffrey does now. McCaffrey was targeted 124 times with a completion percentage of 86.3, highest on the team and he's a RB. We need a WR that makes the defense respect the position.

Let me get this straight you want to add a guy who is known for the deep ball, when our QB shoulder is in question for the immediate future?

Lets wait and see if Cam will be able to throw the ball 50 yards again, before we waste money on Jackson.

Also Curtis Samuel can stretch the field you know?

      Brindamour said this isn't the time of the year for making changes and therefore expect Nikishin to be a healthy scratch til at least two defenceman get injured. Yes I said two because ya don't make changes and there other guys on the roster who've played with the group in games.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
