Panthers defensive coordinator Phil Snow commented on the play of Donte Jackson yesterday. 

Quote

"Donte has really good physical abilities. He's really quick and fast — and he's tough. If you watch him, he's physical," Snow said. "He has a lot of the qualities to be an exceptional player at this level, and I think he's taking his craft much more seriously right now. And I can see it on tape."

I found this quote to be pretty telling, especially the part about taking his craft more seriously now. Donte regressed last year and it sounds like (hopefully) he realizes it now. I look forward to seeing a much improved Donte this season.

Donte has the athletic ability to be a star...just seemed like he let his ego and emotions get in the way of putting in the work to actually improve.  Hopefully he has matured and takes a big leap this year.

I can honestly see why. Rivera's lame duck year must have been toxic for players who need motivation from coaches. Once Donte got into the dog house with Rivera he probably thought well poo this guy won't even be here next year, screw this. t least, that would have been my attitude at his age. :)

Donte's really, really got to improve this season. Not in a "might lose his starting job" kind of way, but in is "might lose his roster spot" kind of way.

Maybe some really good coaching can give him the intellect side of the game to match the physical gifts he has. Otherwise, every  OC he will face has already figured out how to completely neutralize him on the field.

Good news. He knows that with a great season put himself in line for some of that J-No level money. It a season where things have been restricted and the coordination/practice time between QB and receiver has been at very low levels and his position is one where he can take advantage of that.

Yeah, hopefully he understands that we just jettisoned our best CB's and now he is going to be "the guy" covering all those elite WR's. If he doesn't raise his game, he is gonna be in a lot of highlight reels being toasted.

I honestly don't see it happening because he is just too damn small.

Yeah he's fast, yeah he's athletic, but he's short, weighs nothing, is easily pushed around/bodied and I don't trust him to be able to cover the likes of Godwin, Thomas, Evans, Julio, Sanders, or Ridley in our division.

I think he'd be a fine nickelback, but hey, I've been wrong many many times before.

Godwin - 6'1 201, Thomas - 6'3 203, Jones - 6'3 220, Evans - 6'5 225... Jackson - 5'10 181.

You have a point, athleticism is fine and dandy, but you can't ignore simple physics. A SUV slammed into my wife's camry last year and the guy walked away. My wife spent 2 months in the hospital. The bigger guy has the advantage.

      Went back and calculated for you since I knew you'd probably reply with something along these lines. From what I can see, the comparison is fairly equal. Since the 2014 season, Duke has an overall record of 68-62 (.523) while UNC-CH has a record of 71-62 (.533). In that timeframe, UNC-CH has appeared in 8 bowl games with a record of 1-7 in those games. Duke has been to 6 and has a record of 5-1 in those games. While UNC has more bowl appearances, their futility in them can't be overlooked. From most objective measures UNC-CH and Duke have been pretty equal programs over the past decade. There is one caveat, that being that UNC has 2 ACCG appearances to Duke's 0, however Duke's latest ACCG appearance was in 2013 which misses the 10 year timeframe by 1 year. So I guess you could say UNC-CH has been slightly better, but if so it's not by a very noticeable margin.  That clearly wasn't the intent of bringing up the fact that Duke has won more recently. This was to provide evidence to the notion that "UNC is competing for ACC titles every year" seems a bit silly when you haven't won one in 44 years nor do you appear in them all that frequently. I mean, you really think a team that is mainly being elevated by a star QB would have a chance against Bama or Clemson that has 5 stars and top flight coaching all over the roster? There's a reason UNC-CH barely broke into the top 10 when they had a record of 6-0 in 2023. Same story in 2022. Everyone knew it, including the pollsters. Except y'all, apparently.  Of course, I never argued otherwise. Having an entire season hinge around a rivalry game is pretty pathetic, you won't find any argument from me here. Huh? A post ago, you were just saying that nothing before 2005 counted. So which is it? It seems like your timeframes are jumping around. Yeah, our record in the 90s and 00s was pretty awful. Against everyone, not just y'all. Don't think any Duke fan would argue the Ted Roof days were a golden age.

      Everything is measured in championships bro.  No im not, I don’t expect Duke to win one.  I know what we are.  I’m enjoying the hell out of 5-0, if they don’t win another game, I’m happy for what we got. To you’re SEC dude, I’ll find the article where 16 of the SEC members have to be in agreement for any expansion and 14 have already said NO to ANY ACC school, including FSU and Clemson this why they are back at the table with negotiations with the ACC.

      Paul Finebaum is a clown. This dude trashed Prime a week ago, then today he goes on Nat'l tv and apologizes and says Prime might have them in the Big 12 championship lmao   These TV personalities are characters take what they say with a grain of salt.
