his stats arn't all that great, only 13 catches in 12 games. But i guess any loss in their depleted WR core hurts.

The only time I recall hearing his name was during the draft, but none the less I hope he has a speedy recovery cause he will be needed.

Yeah he has been a bust so far, maybe he'll have a better year in 07-08?

Last year we didn't hear much about him, because of his nagging injury. When he was in there, he had a few plays which showed me that he definately has potential. Remember that play where he caught it on the 5 yard line, and it looked like that was where he was going down, but somehow he found his way into the endzone? And there were a few others. I guess I was hoping he would have a better year after an offseason to rest. I was hoping he'd come into next season injury free. Now I'm wondering if injuries is going to be a problem for him his whole career. Now I'm thinking he might be a bust after all.

the guy has played one year and you are lableing him a bust Not every player has a steller rookie season. And on a team where the ball gets spread around as much as it does on the Pats. Give Jackson at least three years in this system before your ready to boot him out the door.

Good point, Mickey. Its just that when someone gets injured as much as this guy seems to, it tends to be because of bad training programs, and being out of shape (for an athlete). Thus, when someone gets labeled as an injury risk, there is usually a good reason... and Jackson is well on his way to gaining that label. But you are correct, especially since they usually say that year #3 is the breakout year.

I think both Caldwell and Gaffney do better this season, assuming the Pats keep them. Last year was their adjustment year. Maybe Kight and/or Childress have a great season too. Then theres always Brown assuming he doesn't retire. Lets just say that they could use a healthy Chad Jackson next year... and thats clearly not going to be the case, at least at the start of the season.

Yeah I remember that play.. he was going down and lunged like 3 yards... it was sick
