Josh Jackson 50-50 on NFL

Thanks for the clarification. The assumption that King would have been a first or second round pick isn't based on anything other than speculation. The same things that caused him to be a 5th round pick would have been there the previous year, his height and speed. San Diego appears to have got a steal in the 5th round, and they are also using King to his strengths, playing in the slot and kind of a hybrid corner/safety, blitzing, etc. But they don't just put him outside and ask him to play 1-1 with outside receivers all the time.
Jackson is taller and faster, and the NFL values the measurables a lot. Just the way it is.
Agreed. If he were my son, I would tell him to get his degree in May and start earning money to play football.
Mcshay got him at 20 overall. That's dern good! Take a shot at the League Josh.
I hope he comes back next year and his draft stock drop's and the Charger's get another steel. This would be great to see 2 ex-HAWKEYES playing side by side in the NFL. Although in all reality I must say as much as I would like him to stay for 1 more year Mr. Jackson go for the money . Can't wait to see you show case your abilities on Sunday's Mr. Jackson ✌

Agreed. Used to never miss an NFL game on TV. Did not watch a game last year and the Defiant Behavior exhibited this year has sealed the NFL’s fate with me. Could now care less.If Jackson thinks Iowa has a legitimate chance at winning the BIG next season, he could possibly come back, but other then that he will go. The NFL made a mistake on King, he is proving he was a first rounder. Jackson should probably go, with all the anthom kneelers, he had better get his money while some people are still watching the NFL games.
What got me was the cries for social justice on one hand then showing the black Panther sign when sacking a white QB and the Raiders OL letting thier own QB get his back broken because He wouldn't kneel . Cant cry racism while being a racist yourself , sorry.
Alot of reverse racism involved. No one willing to confront that issue for fear of bad pr. Alot of double standards out there.
the people who have stopped watching the NFL are confronting the issue .
Dick Rambone said you can't cry racism while being a racist yourself, sorry. His words, not mine.
Exactly my point. A number of players who have something to say about racism but are racist themselves.
No you don't got it. There are players who are outspoken about racism but are themselves racist. Watch it with the assumptions bud. I'm no fool. I pay close attention to what I see. On top of that you've read my messages on a board and don't know Jack $hit about me.
That's true, it is hard to know anything about someone based on postings on a message board and that you have never met. How again do you know these players and that they are racist?
You don't but to flash the black panthers sign after sacking a white QB is akin to a white guy wearing a KKK dunce cap in public . Both are hate groups
PS I hope JJ goes pro and kicks arse . Those who have decided to not watch are within their rights just as the players have the right to kneel. Last I will say on the issue
For the umpteenth time, they do not have a ‘right’ to this behavior during their work day/place. If the employers (owners/nfl) allow it, then fine. But you may have to deal with loss of customers.
Lol. There is no such thing as a Black Panther sign. A clenched fist is a sign of unity and solidarity. Black people have used it as a sign of black power and expressing unity for oppressed people.
i guess all those pictures from the 60s and 70s are all fake news and the Black Panthers didn't originate that sign . So if that's true then the rebel battle flag was just a battle flag and its use by the hate groups is a separate issue .
That is correct. The Black Panthers did not originate the clenched fist as a sign of solidarity. I know the Republican Party used it in the early 1900s as a show of unity. Unions used it in the 1950s. Migrant workers used it. Feminist groups used it. Black groups also used it as a show of black power.
Oh, and Donald Trump also used it at his campaign rallies, as a show of unity with his base. But I have no idea if he is a racist for raising a clenched fist.
