You are making that up, this is not Benghazi. Players and coaches say DJax was a good citizen. Mr. O'Reilly say hi to the mistress and the wifey,

A high ego college coach, used to having college kids depend on his every word, couldn't stand a nonconforming attitude in his locker room. Not the first time a new NFL HC made a dumb decision on a star player, but it is up there with Spurrier's bringing in his college qb's.

So , not everyone loved him .To me it's some of the players now don't want to listen to authority ,coaches ,owners .My question to you if he won't listen Chip Kelly ,why will he listen to coach Gruden

You asked why people equate DJax and Iverson. There was more than one report alleging that DJax was not a fan of practice and not the "student of his craft" that some others were. The article I particularly remember said that Maclin, who apparently has a reputation for a solid work ethic, was no fan of DJax. Certainly, there were plenty of reports about DJax dogging it when he was up for contract renewal a couple years ago.

Is any of it true? I have no clue. I haven't heard any complaints from Skins players so maybe it was all part of the spin some folks over at Eagle Land trying to sell. You don't believe it. Fine. I hope you're right. To date, it does not appear to be a problem.

Finally, don't ever again imply or otherwise allege I am a racist or blatant hypocrite. I am not "making it up" as you assert, but, rather, am making the comparison based on my recollection of various articles I have read on DJax over the years. Not much I can do but hit the ignore button on you but it is incredibly offensive to me for you to start down that road.

I apologize, I was listening to Ludacris getting it in on Bill O'Reilly. I like the conservative argument style. I used to use that technique in college to score women. Say what you think they want to hear, truth be damned.

I don't recall Jackson ever coming out publicly against practice like Iverson did.

There was a good article on the personalities involved a while back. Jackson has been a high performer under Reid and Kelly so my question is why wouldn't he be under Gruden? To answer your question, I don't think Jackson respected Kelly like the media that fawns over Kelly, he saw him as a college coach who doesn't understand the way the NFL does things(partly my opinion partly from the aforementioned article). So maybe Jackson gave lip for coming in on Tuesdays when every other team was off, or stuff like that, but on the field he performed. I also think Gruden sought out Jackson, much like Reid did. and for a guy who wants his importance to be recognized, that builds trust and relationship, something Kelly by most accounts did not have with him.

Chip Kelly will find out. NFL production is fleeting. You can get a player with Jackson's physical attributes but for one reason or another this player will never be as productive. Every year there is a new speed demon. We found a productive player keep him. A Jackson in hand is worth more than a potential Jackson replacement until the replacement makes Coughlin's face turn red.

they had a philly sports radio talking head on the local radio here and he said by all accounts d jax was liked and did what he was told to do.

he did say that chip kelly required all of his wide receivers to know the playbook for each WR position and d jax showed up to camp not bothering to have studied them and he was bumped down the depth chart for a few days until d jax got up to speed.

what happened in philly is in the past. d jax' contract is signed. if we dont like him after 2 years, we can easily divorce.

I completely agree!

DJax was a good pickup, and if it doesn't work out, the contract let's out out easily.
