I think we possibly could have been better off just sticking with him. He was an excellent ST. Beats Pascal there. Could have easily produced the receiving LOAD. Probably is better at running the pick plays without getting flagged. Heck he probably comes down with that catch Quez dropped.

I'll give you that JJAW was a good blocker and ST'er. Other than that he was deadwood.

Jackson is strictly a pass catcher. Not developing his blocking game other than a bad fake out.

It would be nice if Jackson follows Mailata's path.

This guy is a super athletic very big man that just had no real experience. Honestly him sitting on IR for free was basically a perfect way to try and develop a player like him….well you know except he earned the spot to heavily with injury. Spent nothing….didn’t even cost a roster spot. Heck he’s not even been taking up a PS spot. That kind of no cost. Then, on the optimistic side, maybe he is ready to play the game and we get a super athletic basketball TE backup player added to the mix. Calacatarra has a much lower ceiling. Trying to develop him into a third string TE. He shows solid  in an all around TE role. That’s valuable in itself as a third TE here. He’d could be the first option in as backup if either top two TEs get injured. Goedert and Stohl actually play like what I believe to be four different TE roles. Calc could step into any of those serviceably.

I said earlier he needs to step up NOW or be replaced That got passed over

If you can't play a position,you become a ST'er

Why would you keep a guy that fractured his back? Like keeping a Kentucky derby horse who broke it's leg(well you keep those for the stud service but we're not in that business lol). Calcaterra has 1 year how about jackson? Don't care if he's not taking a roster spot,we have our health team working on a guy who will never start for us,seems pointless???? Who is advising we keep this guy on??? Worse yet who is listening to that bad advice?? How long do you keep players around that won't play? I mean you can put him on the field if you want him hurt yet again,but WHY? DEAD weight is DEAD weight pay or no pay,but this makes sense to you??? Keep them on out of sympathy? OK if you want to,but not a great way to run a biz. Now we brought in new guys,if jackson can't play he needs to GO AWAY. Back fractures for a receiver are a NON starter. It's not a torn muscle. Keep him if YOU want. To me it seems to be a POINTLESS waste of resources. I don't know of any doctor that would recommend someone with a fractured back ever play football SO,we'll never agree on this. We brought in more TE's now,so I assume they finally are getting the message that jackson is a waste of resources??

I try to explain the league rules... I guess  it's hard to comprehend the rule on releasing an injured player?

Maybe it's silly,but IMO it's wasting resources for no apparent gain or reason. There are other TE's around and we're bringing them in now. Maybe the lightbulb over their heads came on?

What are the resources?

No Joes explanation I understand,and I would be ok if there was some possible way he would play,but how long to you beat a dead horse?

Until he is healthy and you can release him without an injury settlement.

Still is a very good blocker,I hope we keep him for that as TE 3. I hope Calcaterra steps into the TE2 role. I think jackson is DOA on that front. Apparently everyone else is fine letting this kid hang aound the parking lot for 3 more years. If the team thinks that also,fine by me. I just think it's a waste

Ok... if dude doesn't take up a roster spot that could be given to someone else....then why do you care?  I don't get it?

Team lost the Superbowl by 3 points and this is the stuff that matters?  Whether or not an injured guy uses the rehab facility?

Yep,the light went on,so we're bring in competition

I think more so it was in the " after the draft plan"  because if they drafted a TE, they probably wouldn't have signed Arnold. 

So I think it's pretty obvious upgrading TE was always in the plan.

Stoll was a drop from Buffalo. At lease he is serviceable. Bringing more in now and maybe we find a cut from another team. Whatever makes the room better. Adding a mash wing to the Linc is not improving anything

Stoll was a UDFA signed by the Eagles right after the 2021 draft....he was never on Buffalo

Done on here. GO PANTHERS!!

I just don’t players and agents think that way about Rosie at all. I think his reputation is little rough on that front. Think both know to be leery. He’s very sneaky and cunning. Known to get the upper hand in trades and negotiations.

Stoll is a very good blocker which for a team that likes to run the ball is huge obviously he isn’t the receiving threat as others hence why I think we carry 3…. The 3rd being more of a threat as a pass catcher. 

Well I’d think the third needs to be ready to replace either in front of him.

So what I try to figure out is why not just use a backup T? Nobody taking Stohl serious as a receiving threat anyway.

No Mas and I both think of the advantage of having that third WR or second TE as a receiver. Having to actually cover that guy instead of Stohl or pascal.

That would stress a D massively. Crazy ti think we either had Stohl or Pascal out there most of the time. Neither a concern for coverage.

It’s the wasting an actual roster spot on a RB that is more a factor.

Please slow down on the draft. I know you obsess about it. But this just way too far ahead

It was tough for me to understand obsessing or even thinking about the draft this past season.

Riding undefeated so long. Draft really slipped down my priorities  list this time.
