What's up with Dexter Jackson?


Recommended Posts

I understand he was picked up last year and has seen work at KR/PR so far in mini camp (that being all i've heard about him doing), but what are the chances he sees the field at WR? If he is not a capable WR what is it that he is lacking? I was a big fan of his coming out of college, but haven't heard much about him after going to Tampa Bay.

The knock on him in Tampa was that he shied away from contact and was afraid to get hit. Him being part of the Gruden regime didn't help much and he was one of the casualties of the new crew in town. Apparently our coaching staff sees something that they like from him because he was one of the first guys signed to the 2010-2011 roster after last season was over.

I can tell you this after seeing him throughout the off season. The kid can fly running straight ahead, but lacks the sharp change in direction ability. He definitely has a downside of not wanting to take a hit, and really does not have good enough hands to be a dangerous wide receiver. I think the only shot he has is in the special teams, and I think that munnerlyn/edwards are a few steps ahead of him in that game.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
