[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 283293, member: 2232"] Sure, as I said, TT has hit on some great picks in his 6 years here, which is why we have so many playoff wins under him. One. Nobody here wanted Jordy Nelson to be that pick. Cut the bullschit here. Nobody here wanted Justin Harrell to be that pick either. Let's be real. For every Clay Matthews, there's a Brian Brohm. For every Aaron Rodgers, there's a Pat Lee. For every Greg Jennings, there's a Cory Rodgers. For every Nick Collins, there's an Aaron Rouse here. DeSean Jackson was an obvious playmaker, an electric return man and lethal receiver. Jordy Nelson was taller, and stronger, and he had better character. Nobody in their right mind thought Nelson was a better football player than DeSean Jackson. I don't even think Ted thought that. But he knew Jordy was a solid, quiet locker room guy. I'm with ivo on this one. There was another draft, 1998, where I totally wanted the talented WR who slid to us, and our GM then chickened out on that guy, Randy Moss. Ron Wolf later admitted it was his biggest mistake ever as GM. I can't imagine how much better our offense would be with DeSean Jackson out there. This from Peter King this morning on CNNSI: [url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/12/13/week-14-mmqb/index.html?eref=sircrc]DeSean Jackson's big night; Spygate effect; Sal Alosi punishment - Peter King - SI.com[/url] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]what is DeSean Jackson, other than the most exciting player right now in the NFL? Vick and Jackson, combined, are the greatest show on turf right now, the reformed (by all indications) quarterback and the receiver who's running hard for the playoffs and for a new contract. They showed it last night in Dallas. With the game tied at 20 and the Eagles pinned at their nine-yard line, Vick threw a simple out pattern to Jackson near the left sideline, and he turned upfield, and ... well, I'll let him take it from there, sounding tired as the Eagles buses motored toward the team plane after midnight in Dallas: "I was maybe 60 percent by that time in the game,'' Jackson said. "I hurt my ankle in the third quarter. Actually my foot. I didn't feel great. They asked me on the sideline, 'You want to go in and get it X-rayed?' I said, 'Nah. I can't leave my teammates out here like that.' And the ball came to me. Michael threw me a perfect pass, and I just tried to run away from people. It's instinct.'' Usually, Jackson would have left everyone in the dust. But Orlando Scandrick was on the verge of catching him around the Dallas 30, and, sensing him, Jackson turned on one last jet.
