Is Donte Jackson a “head case”?

Listening to WFNZ this morning. Didn’t hear the entire conversation but it sounded like they were reacting to the All of Nothing series where Donte seemed(haven’t seen the whole thing yet) to be acting like he was un-coachable and didn’t want to take advice from vet players. 

Someone said he has come out and stated that he was made to look like someone he isn’t on the series.

Anyone have any insight on this?

He is young and was a rookie. He learned not only technique but how to use coaching as well. There is nothing wrong with him. This is what you often get with rookies. Another reason I like proven vets as starters who have already gone through this. Jackson should make a lot of progress between last year and this.

I have been in a similiar situation in my career as D-jax was portrayed. My language may have not been the same but my body language was much similiar. I can empathize with the kid.

It didnt take long for me to understand that to be better I had to approach situations differently, and accept feedback. I dont think this is different from many, just part of the growing process.

 

Head case.... no. Passionate player who wants to be great, and is learning that it doesnt happen over night.... yes.

Was just listening while at the gym and Donte will be doing an interview with WFNZ to address this exact thing at 1:30p if you are able to tune in.

Do I think he is a head case.  Yes.  But that’s not the end of the world.  I have played with some head cases that can play well. But others that seem to never attain the excellence they see in their own minds.  Let’s hope he can take some mentor ship.  

And that Fewell can have a positive influence.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
