Kammo 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Legedu Naanee appears to be next in line. Naanee looks more than just serviceable. He has a lot of upside. The news on Jackson is that he is prepared for a long hold out and Chargers are playing hard ball with him. What are the chances, if Naanee plays well, that Jackson doesn't get his starting job back?

The news on Jackson is that he is prepared for a long hold out and Chargers are playing hard ball with him. What are the chances, if Naanee plays well, that Jackson doesn't get his starting job back? Naanee would have to play very well to cement himself as the starter. However, this might not matter if VJax holds out for the entire season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madd futher mucker 36 Posted August 17, 2010 I can't tell you exactly how i came to this - a combination of factors - but I have very good reason to believe that Vincent Jackson has played his last game as a Charger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted August 17, 2010 Next in line? Does this mean ahead or behind Malcolm Floyd? 1 - Gates 2 - Floyd 3 - Matthews 4 - Sproles 5 - Naanee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turducken 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Next in line? Does this mean ahead or behind Malcolm Floyd? 1 - Gates 2 - Floyd 3 - Matthews 4 - Sproles 5 - Naanee Mathews/Sproles would be on one line, since they won't likely be in on the same plays, so yes, Naanee is still only the 4th option, 3rd at best. He'll have a few great games, but not enough consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll have a few great games, but not enough consistency. Exactly - He'll have a great game - #1 option on the WW - - hottest thing out there - - only to get 1 and 2 recetpions the following games. Then you bench him and he goes for 3/112/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
death of the cool 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Per Kevin Acee: "Sources close to the players maintain they are preparing to sit out the entire season." Not that it matters much, but I would take that quote with a grain of salt. They are blowing smoke...the player has a lot to lose in that situation. Not playing those 6 games means that Jackson will not get credit for this season...meaning he is back where he started this year, but a year off his career (of which he will not get paid). After sitting out that entire year, there is no way the Chargers are paying him big money...and the longer he sits out the less likely other teams will take that chance either. I do see him sitting out until week 10, but I think he has to show up at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do see him sitting out until week 10, but I think he has to show up at that point. If (when) they're placed on the roster exempt list, they have to sign by week 8 to still accrue their 6 games. VJax's lowered salary is 583K, which I believe would only be around 200k paid to him since he's playing less than half a season. I don't really buy them sitting out the whole season either, but they've stuck to their guns thus far, so there might be something to it. They're doing nothing but hurting their bottom line by holding out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,315 Posted August 17, 2010 VJax comes back week 10, but he is only in on 3 or 4 WR sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turducken 0 Posted August 17, 2010 VJax comes back week 10, but he is only in on 3 or 4 WR sets. I disagree, even though he's being a king kamehameha biotch by holding out, if he gives the Chargers the best chance to win, he will be in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scherber830 0 Posted August 17, 2010 At least Naanee's apparent emergence means Rivers might still be a solid fantasy QB. As for Naanee himself, I don't know that I'd want him to be one of my starters, but he has upside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Naanee himself, I don't know that I'd want him to be one of my starters, but he has upside. Rivers will still be solid. Vincent Jackson's emergence was as much of a product of Rivers becoming an elite QB as it was his own skill. Malcom Floyd is a testament to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted August 17, 2010 I desperately hope that Jackson ( and Revis too for that matter) never play another down.....and wind up penniless on the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
