If you're a high profile athlete and want a social media presence, hire a PR form to manage it and don't even have access to the login info. Don't even look at it. Just let the PR firm do its job.

 

could say the same for politicians or really any high profile person. world would be a much better place without everyone shouting to the world every thought they have.

Between this and not getting proper representation for his contract negotiations, Jackson seems to make a lot of really head scratcher moves off the field.  

 

Yeah, you're talking about a 9 figure contract with lots of complicated clauses, structuring, guaranteed money, incentives, possible outs, etc. Thinking you can handle that unless that's what you actually do for a living with ample experience is just nuts. Surely he's going to have at least a contract attorney look over any deal he negotiated before he puts ink to paper.

Agreed. If I was any type of public figure I'd have a firm managing my social media. Hell, I have a small business and pay someone to handle it. I don't even look at it.

I'd assume there are agents that are treating him like Nick Saban's treats his recruits. Free poo to get him to sign on. I can imagine firms like IMG are just throwing him free advice and services to navigate this whole thing in hopes that Lamar would hire them. There is no way he is truly doing this alone.

Jackson has been a "good" qb in his years so far.  Not great like a lot of people want to think by his highlight plays.  If you just look at his statistics against good teams and in the playoffs; they are very bad.   He has been a qb that feasts on bad teams mostly at this point in his career so far.

The guy won an MVP. Now the playoffs thing? Yeah, you got a point there. He's had some real stinkers in the playoffs.

And don't respond to a random fan that nobody's ever heard of.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...

      There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
