21.5 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 3.7 APG

This is a guy that guaranteed we'd make the playoffs the day he arrived on this team. People were concerned about his off the court demeanor and whether he would "talk too much" when he's been nothing but a leader in the locker room and the official mouthpiece of the team. Jax has provided a swagger and toughness that has helped Gerald Wallace become a better leader and has helped our team's focus on this playoff hunt. We got this guy for Vlad Rad & an injured Raja, which IMO is the biggest steal in the NBA this year. Just thought I'd make a thread recognizing Big Jax.

I approve of this thread. I had been trying to follow the Bobcats for a while (and get back into basketball really), and since Jackson's arrival, the Bobcats have a renewed energy.

They play a successful and fundamental team based game that's awesome and great to watch, and it all started to work when Jackson arrived through the trade. He's a great scorer, but he's really proven to be an awesome leader and he's really that piece that this team needed. Because we really had a great core of guys, but we were just missing the pure scorer.

I have been a skeptic of Jackson for a while, but I must admit that when he has an "on night", the Bobcats win it. Bottom line. He's streaky, and he's not going to hit 20 every night, but he will put up 30, 29, 12, 22, 10, 32 and lines like that. We just have to do a better job of picking him up when he goes cold.

I still think he shoots too much, but there aren't too many guys you'd rather have shoot on this team so kudos to Jack for his contributions this year.

Yeah, but even on a pass first team, you have to have a shoot first guy out there somewhere, and Jack is that guy.

      I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.

      The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
