Donte Jackson headed to injured reserve

The way this played out with Donte, especially what happened as of late, reminds me a lot of what happened with Whitehead last season.

They talked him up, named him a captain, he ends up getting picked on in games, suddenly has a mystery injury pop up and gets demoted/benched, or in this case, IR'd.

The painful truth is that the team has an absolutely stacked CB room and in order for DJack to stay here he's going to have to do it on a team friendly deal.

He was on the upswing, a willing tackler in space that was making plays on the ball. He had a rough outing though the last couple of weeks, getting burnt and showing immaturity despite being one of the older guys in the locker room. That will hopefully allow the team some negotiating room.

They also get to see just how good that depth is. Would it be better to bring back Gilmore instead to play across from Horn with Bouye in the slot while backed up by Henderson, Taylor, and Hartsfield? Can STO3 make a play on a role on the team next year? It'll be an interesting 5 game run to close out, as that last wildcard spot is wide open still.

Donte played well for the most part though, Whitehead was just horrifyingly bad. 

Agreed, until the last 2 weeks.  And when it went sour, it went sour quick.

But yeah, Whitehead was complete and utter trash on the field from day one.

I still feel like this is almost a carbon copy of the Curtis Samuel situation.

Regarding Jackson's problems over the past few weeks, Joe Person quotes Matt Rhule as saying bad things happened because the team's safeties "left Jackson out to dry".

Samuel started slow but finished strong

While i'm sure its possible, I trust zero things Matt Rhule says at this point...  and Donte is a guy he talked up and vouched for going into this season.  Donte played well early, but safety help or not, he looked bad the last two weeks in every type of scenario imaginable, and you could tell by some of the plays that safeties had nothing to do with it...  like one on one coverage in zero blitzes.  He just got exposed, and then despite being a captain, acted very immature while dealing with those struggles.

and now he got paid and barely sees the field, sounds like another guy the Panthers signed to a big contract

I am also not sure how EVERY fan on this frickin board could clearly see he needed to be traded before the deadline but these "professionals" making millions to decide these things just let him stay and let what has happened happen.

Absolutely not. Horn, Taylor and Henderson are better and on rookie deals. Let Donte and Bouye go and see if Gilmore takes the hometown discount for his last few years

They’re not better yet but they are on rookie deals, def need to retain Gilmore to help them out 

[KatsAzz]

Will we be eligible for any type compensation if we chose not to resign Donte Jackson?

[Carl Spackler]

Tune in in 13 days, when Brian Burns, Jeremy Chinn, D.J. Moore and all non-Temple starters "get injured" and go on IR

fug this fuging clown. I hope there are some fans who see through this BS. Rhule is easily one of the 3 worst NFL coaches of all time.
