Does anyone know how Chad Jackson is doing?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Greg Jennings and Chad Jackson are both in for very solid careers, even great ones.

Wide Receivers are hard to predict! Maybe you are right, maybe.

It will be interesting to compare their careers.

Hopefully not interesting like comparing Chris Chambers & Robert Fergusson.

Greg Jennings and Chad Jackson are both in for very solid careers, even great ones. It's not going to be Chambers vs Fergy. I really wanted Chambers, as many packers did, but I thought: "hey, that Texas A&M guy must be really good then (when the Pack did not pick Chambers)!?". We all know the truth about that one.

Like Harlan said, its difficult to predict. Hopefully they both will. The thing is that the year Jackson and Jennings came out was supposedly the best year for receivers that we've seen in a long, long time. This year was terrible in that regard. Hopefully, our guy defies logic and becomes a solid starter!!

Well I think that jennings will be the ferguson of this career and jackson will be the chambers.

[PackerPro42]

Does anyone know Jenning's 40 time? I think it was in the low 4.40's but i'm not sure.

Well, if college production is any indication (as it was with chambers and ferguson), Ferguson was a freakish build and prospect who didn't have great production. Chambers routinely put up big numbers.

In terms of college careers, Jennings seems more like the Chambers and Jackson the Ferguson.

[PackerPro42]

Yeah but jackson did have good numbers before entering the draft.
I mean his last season.

[Partial]

That's true, and he is freakishly fast. It'll be interesting to see how he turns out. I definitely thought going in he was overrated, but it seems he's handling the NFL life better than Santonio thus far, whom I had pegged as a star!!

[PackerPro42]

Yeah but the combine does that to people. It can either make or break some players. Just look at lendale white.

[Partial]

what do you mean?

[PackerPro42]

I mean that the combine overhypes some players and their physical abilities and then overshadows others.

[Partial]

I definitely think Jackson has a little bit of workout wonder to him. Same with TE Davis and DE Williams. If I recall correctly, Jackson really shot up teams draft boards after his 40 time. That's always a scary thing when that happens. However, sometimes it pans out in the case of Chambers, who had a freakish combine himself and definitely climbed some draft boards that way.

I guess in a sense its really a crapshoot. We went with Ferguson because we craved his size and measureables, yet the guys on here who were rooting for Chambers were I'm sure also talking up his 40 and agility times at the combine.

Jackson left after 3 years in a major program. Jennings stayed all 4 and put up good numbers. I think Jackson has more potential to be a game changer, but I think Jennings will continue his solid production and be a good receiver in his own right.

[PackerPro42]

I think the only way jennings will suceed is if he is a number 3 reciever. And thats not what the packers need because they have a ton of them.

[Partial]

Perhaps this year he'll be a number 3. He was the third receiver taken in one of the deepest (albeit not at receiver) drafts in decades. I think he's going to be a good player someday, though i've never actually seen him play so its impossible for me to judge him. I think we'll get a much better idea come training camp, but my guess is if the competition is close, he comes out as the number 2 wideout.

[PackerPro42]

NO i don't think jennings will ever be #2 in the packers offense just because we have rod gardner and TT is in love with ferguson.

[Partial]

Gardner hasn't given us any reason to think he can be a number 2 even on a bad team. If its close between Jennings and Gardner, they'll go with Jennings. As for Ferguson, if he doesn't step up they'll cut him this year so they can pay someone else half the money for twice the production.
