I've come to realize I was "probably" wrong since Jennings has outperformed Jackson this year; but that's still not a foregone conclusion down the road.
Cheers,

Not to mention the fact that by trading down from Jackson to Jennings, the Packers also got Pick no. 75 from NE which was, Jason Spitz. Personally, I like Jennings better than Jackson, but when you toss in our starting and steadily improving guard into the equation, its a no-brainer. TT did well.
I didn't even intend for this thread to be an argument between Ballhawk and I, but he has a personal vendetta against me or something. All this thread was supposed to be about was Chad Jackson and his progress, not how the Packers made a mistake by not drafting him or anything else.
Ballhawk rips everything I say to shreads and quite frankly, it pisses me off. I never did anything to him except say that I think Chad Jackson is better. But ever since then he's been a hater.

If you didn't want to restart old arguments then why did you start a thread about a rookie, second round pick, who plays for another team and has so few catches on the season you could count them on your toes? Reasonable Packer fans are going to think you're trying rehash the debate on Jackson vs. Jennings.
If I had to choose right now, I'd take Jennings. If I had to choose between Jackson and Jennings/Spitz, I'd really take Jennings.

I kind of agree. The only reason anybody would bring up Chad Jackson in a Packers forum is because the Packers passed on him. Bringing up his progress seems like a way of justifying somebody's belief that the Packers should have drafted him. I would be curious to know whether the same person brought up Jackson when he was struggling earlier in the year. Anyways! I've watched a little of Jackson, and I'd rather have Jennings and Spitz. Could turn out differently. Other than that, I couldn't care less about Chad Jackson.
If you want to talk about a rookie WR, you should bring up Marques Colston. Talk about a rookie WR looking good. Good chance that Colston and Jennings (if he gets and stays healthy) will be your WRs on the All Rookie team.

I would agree it seems as though Ballhawk has a vendetta towards Wausau. It is reminiscint of SC/BD
Could be. Don't know. My thoughts are just on the topic at hand.

This isn't what the thread is about. It was simply about the progress of Chad Jackson.
I'm not trying to pick a fight or be a wise-guy, but what progress? He did not play in games 1 or 3, he caught 2 passes in games 2 and 4, none in game 5, and one in each game 6 and game 7. I don't see a lot of progress there. Yes, he did a nice job keeping his balance to get in the endzone against the Vikings, but I don't see that he has worked himself into a spot as a regular part of the offense. He is a situational contributer, and not much more yet.
I don't have a Vendetta against you, Wausau. I'm not a hater, or whatever the hell else you want to call me. You started a thread about a player who isn't on our team, isn't in our division, didn't used to play for us, so why are you wasting your breath on a pointless arguement? Listen, 32 other teams passed on Jackson, but do you see every damn forum talking about how they let Jackson get a way? Wausau, we know you like Jackson. Good for you. If you want him to do well, than you do that. But don't make a thread about Jackson, because you're looking for trouble, and you know that.
And Wausau, it's a public forum, I'm allowed to disagree with your opinion.
