Peter King's "I think I think" (1 Viewer)

I can't see any scenario where this makes sense for Seattle. They just gave up a number one pick for a less skilled receiver than Jackson. Why then would they turn around and trade Jackson? What would they expect in return? He seems perfectly healthy based on this weeks performance.

 
Wow, how in the hell do you go from "I think I wouldn't be shocked -- surprised, but not shocked -- if the Seahawks traded Darrell Jackson before the Oct. 17 trading deadline." to "D Jax to be traded?"

 
I think that i know that i think that i don't listen to Peter King anymore

poor thread title, BTW

 
How on Earth is that a bad thread title? The question mark cleary indictates that it is not a fact.

Give me a break. Methinks the Sharks need to lighten up...

Well, I read it as if you were questioning why on Earth SEA would be doing this. Maybe a better title would be "WTF is Peter King thinking?"
 
I had it on in the background and wasn't paying close attention but someone on the Fox pre-game show -- I want to say it was Bradshaw but I'm not 100% sure -- said the exact same thing. The point was with all the money being given to Branch and DJax one of them had to go.

 
How is one "surprised but not shocked"? Is it like the sound of one hand clapping, or is it the sound of one "insider" waffling?

 
I just hope the Jags listen to him and throw a lot of Maurice Jones-Drew at Pittsburgh tonight.

Does this guy seriously watch the Steelers, ever? They play a 3-4. Their primary asset on defense is speed. More often than not, it's power rushers that do well against them (Edgerrin, Droughns, guys like that.) Speed rushers typically get eaten alive because they can't hit the corners like they do agaisnt other teams because the Pittsburgh LBs and secondary are all good in lateral pursuit.

Please, Coach Del Rio - listen to Peter King.

I'm sorry, what is this thread about??
 
I just don't see this happening, for the same reason that I think most people misunderstood the Branch signing. Most seemd to view the signing of Branch as some sort of knock on D-Jax and his potential questionable future with the Seahawks. IMO, the Branch signing was more about Nate Burleson and his inability to really 'step up' and prove his worth as a WR2. The Seahawks will have a tough choice to make this offseason when Engram becomes a free agent. Engram has proven time and again that he's a money player and can be counted on. If Burleson can't prove the same, he'll get dumped and Engram likely re-signed, if possible. The Branch signing is also a 'keep up with the divisional Jones's' type move. With the Cardinals offense overhauled, I think the Seahawks front office saw the opportunity to add a piece to their WR puzzle and put them on a similar offensive footing as their surging divisional rivals, probably something they thought they did when they signed Burleson, but were wrong IMO.

Bottom line: I think Nate Burleson is on the hot seat, not D-Jax.

....ahhh grin, this thread is about seattle and jackson. i know Pitt residents have not had anything else to talk about in any sport for years, but here is a suggestion. Pin a thread that all stealer fans can post all they want, and not hijax every other thread.

D Jax yesterday: 5 - 127 - 1 :yes:

 
:goodposting:

No kidding. Plus he was wide open for another big gainer Hasselbeck missed him on. D-jax isnt going anywhere unless sombody wows Seattle, and nobody is gonna put up that kind of offer with Jackson knee issues. Bureleson is obviously the disapointment here. Seattle badly wants a legit #2 target, thats probably what they feel would have put them over the to in the SB. They are probably right.

 
Man. I hate Peter King. I'm a Redskins fan, and he disrespects the 'Skins almost as badly as Lenny P. In fact, hes such a complete hater, that his pick from this past week was Dallas 30, Washington 13.

Dallas by 17?? Screw you Peter King, show us some respect.

:bag:

Nice. I am a DET fan (woe is me as well). Tough division. Tough new playbook. Clinton Portis injured. But I have not been impressed so far with WASH. They need to do a better job at getting the ball to S. Moss. He is lightning in a bottle. They have a good o-line, I am surprised that their running game has struggled as much as it has (Betts is adequate, so I thought). That division is far from clinched though. I normally dont make predictions, but I see the follwoing finish:NYG - Most complete team of the groupWASH - IF they get Portis back, playbook translates, defense keeps pacePHIL - McNabb off to a great start. BUT, you cant continue to win without a running game.DAL - Wheels fall off the bus. TO issues (injuries/attitude), no running game.
 
It wouldn't totally shock me actually. He has had injury problems and has 3 more seasons left on his contract. Burleson has been pathetic but does really have the same injury concerns and has 6 years left on his contract. Anyone know what their signing bonuses looked like? How much of a cap hit would they take on getting rid of DJax vs. Burleson?

This is from PFW last week:

• We're not suggesting at all that the Seahawks might be thinking about cutting the cord with WR Darrell Jackson down the road now that Deion Branch has been added to the receiving corps. However, it's worth noting that Jackson remains far from happy with his current contract, which included oral promises for improvements that he feels have yet to be met. Suffice it to say, Branch has given the Hawks flexibility at the WR spot if Jackson's contract eventually becomes a big issue.

from Len P

Wide receiver Darrell Jackson had seven catches, two of them for touchdowns, in Seattle's victory over the New York Giants on Sunday. But it still won't be surprising, especially if Deion Branch picks up the offense quickly, if the Seahawks dangle Jackson before the trade deadline. Jackson wore a hand-written message on his cleats last week, "I need DB money," referring to Branch's new six-year, $39 million deal in Seattle and alluding to his desire for a new contract. Jackson is a talented guy, but some Seattle players don't feel they can count on him to stay healthy, and team officials are bored by his complaining about his contract.

Just once I'd love to see an owner at the next home game dangle a sign out of his box that reads "You need DB reliability" in response to that childish crap.

Since 2002, they've played in the same number of regular season games. Branch isn't exactly a model of health, you know...
 
DJax is a very good player, but his contract whining is getting old. We've heard it for several seasons up here. Apparently he was "promised" a new contract by Bob Whitsett before he got replaced as President of the Seahawks. The new regime (Ruskell) came in and told DJax they wouldn't be honoring that "promise". That set off DJax and lead to some dissent between the two sides.

What Peter King and LP should be reporting is that they wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks moved him in the offseason, not by this years trade deadline. That would be a more likely scenario vs. what they are reporting here.

Fascinating. So does Branch (who just whines his way out of a contract) now make more than D Jax? I could see this causing some serious problems, and frankly it would make me question the Seattle FO for a number of reasons. Methinks D Jax >> Branch.

:goodposting:There is no way they will disrupt Hass to DJax during a season where they are a serious competitor to return to the Super Bowl - and to buck the trend of Super Bowl losers having poor following seasons.In 2007, all bets are off.
