Jackson on McNabb trade

I think McNabb’s comments about the young players were taken out of context, and I don’t believe Desean is taking “shots” at McNabb.

Desean is just supporting Kolb. I loved McNabb, but I have no problems with Desean deciding to move on.

When athletes talk, it doesn’t bother me as long as they back it up. It’s the off-season, so I don’t see the problems with his comments.

But when the season comes, he better produce.

Some stuff can be taken out of context, I’m studying Journalism in college and have worked for newspapers in South Florida, it honestly happens all the time with Q & A’s. To add to his article, I was actually offended when he blamed the youth for losing games, a majority of the games were either his fault or poor clock and play management. I think the FO realized that the youth was the only thing worth showing because of the leaves of Kevin Curtis, Darren Howard, Donovan McNabb, and Brian Westbrook. Also the agent thing makes sense, he has said he’s not going to bitch, he may not want to press too hard for a contract but would like some endorsements…hello Drew! Also I think he said the right thing, they had additions to the team, the team has alot of chemistry between the youngsters as alot of them practiced with Kolb when they weren’t starting (Celek has said recently, Lesean was the number two for a good portion of last season, Maclin didn’t start till a quarter into the season, Winston and Nick Cole were back ups till last year). Good Stuff from D-Jax, and as much as I love Florio he tends to be pessimistic whenever someone makes a hiccup so don’t look too far into it.

“I don’t think we lost anything, even with McNabb being gone,” Jackson said.

Read: Kolb was great last season filling in for McNabb, so I believe that we won’t have a drop off this season from losing McNabb. Kolb has the ability to fully replace McNabb and I’m happy to move on with him as my QB.

Jackson told Sporting News he was “very happy with the decision” by the Eagles to trade McNabb and make Kevin Kolb the starter.

A couple of players commented that they were happy that the Eagles made a decision on McNabb. Then they chose to support the Front Office by stating that it was time to move on. I don’t see DeSean’s comment as anything different than that.

Finally, to comment on your post. How are you any different than the normal “articles” on PFT? You decided to link to a summary of a Q & A with DeSean Jackson. You’ve commented on his comments even though you only read a very small spinet of the actual answers he gave to reporters. You’re acting like Mike Florio right now. Now it’s my turn to throw some snippets at you:

From http://bleacherreport.com/articles/389551-philadelphia-eagles-desean-jackson-kolb-and-i-will-be-spectacular

DeSean recently found himself on the cover of The Sporting News and when interviewed by SN’s Steve Greenberg, DeSean sounded extremely confident that he and Kolb will be nothing short of “spectacular” in 2010.

Greenberg asked Jackson, “What can Philadelphia fans expect from the Kolb-Jackson connection in coming seasons?”

Jackson, without hesitation, responded:

“It’s going to be spectacular. With his talent and hopefully my ability to get him the ball in stride and yards after the catch, those types of things—it will be pretty special. I look forward to being around him and both of us being with this team for a long time.”

Let me just throw this in. That last sentence in Jackson’s quote is a refreshing statement to me. From following DeSean’s Twitter page it was my opinion that once he hit the free agent market he would exit Philly.

I don’t have access to the actual article, but you can see where misquoting goes. It hurts everyone involved because you lose credibility when using misinformation and misquoting and it hurts the person you are talking about.

lame

I agree, actually. I like DeSean, but he needs to take lessons from Celek on proper interview procedures: Talk without saying anything, we’re always a team and looking to win above everything else, and never make a comment about another player unless its positive. It sucks that our sports culture is like that, but if you say anything mildly controversial, you’re gonna get a black mark.

i love the guy and love what he has done for the organization but, he does have a habit of making himself look like an asshole and just an unlikeable person

IDC care if he glues 100$ bills to the pavement outside a homeless shelter!! He just has to play well on the field.

McNabb and anyone who finds this offensive can be filed away in the “way too sensitive” drawer. Seriously. He’s a young very talented player who happens to be very excited about his team and teammates. He didn’t say McNabb sux. Or he is gay. Or he has no touch. Or if he was playing with a good QB he would of broke all of the NFL records. This drama is for soap operas and chicks. Grow up life is way tougher than this weak shiz.

I understand Jackson was just showing his confidence in Kolb. he should, I mean he would be like TO if he didn’t. “Aww man! Now i have to be thrown to by this bum”
I just wish he would of prefaced his comment with something like
" While McNabb did some great things with me, I don’t think we are going to lose anything with him gone." This shows a respect for McNabb but shows full confidence in Kolbs ability.
Also if he would of said something like.
“I am very happy with the decision to trade McNabb. It helps him and us.”
This shows he is glad McNabb could prosper else where but shows his excitement with working with Kolb.
This was one of 2 things. 1)A quote snipped to fulfill a writers want for controversy.

Jackson told Sporting News he was "very happy with the decision" by the Eagles to trade McNabb and make Kevin Kolb the starter

Notice how there is no beginning or end to the sentence. Movies do this all the time in their previews to to get what they want stated. The only quote they use benefits the direction they are trying to impose on the consumer.
2) A terrible job by his publicist who should be training him how to talk in an interview.
The refreshing part here is that if it was actually meant the way it was purported jackson is not gonna be one of those lame ass intervies that never say what they really want too. I actually like that. I hate when people constantly “say the right thing”. Sometimes the truth serves a better purpose.
In all actuality I just think he was quoted out of context and was just trying to rally behind his new and unproven QB.

Desean didnt do anything wrong and your assertion that he has “been running his mouth alot lately” is complete bullshit… and here is why:
(1) During OTA’s they like to interview him
(2) He’s the vocal leader of the offense

Furthermore I’d like to say he hasnt said anything bad at all and here’s a few examples:
(1) He’s been vocal in saying that he isnt going to make his contract and issue and that he’s willing to wait for that 30% rule to go bye bye… (this isnt bad)
(2) what he said about McNabb isnt bad, he was more giving Kolb a vote of confidence than ripping on Dmac.

So why dont you go educate yourself of what he’s been saying in context and why he’s been saying so much through the media before you start ripping on Philly’s shining star.

pooor poor donny. wait til the skins media starts killing him after he throws to chris cooleys feet

i ment every word ….Desean STFU… what was said no matter the context was wrong .

what part of florida are you in wild lol im live in fort walton im in the panhandle and your still a douche .
