So apparently Vincent Jackson's suspension will only be 3 games if he gets traded, but he'll have to serve 4 games if he doesn't. Or was it eight games? Whatever. I'm too lazy to look it up.
Point is, as we all know, V-Jax wants to get the fuck out of San Diego and it looks like San Diego doesn't want him and that's really the whole fucking point of this post anyway.
I say fuck it. Let's get this motherfucker so we can just gash every fucking team in the fucking NFL for the next fucking decade. Fucking.
Now that Bill Parcells has stepped back, giving full power to Jeff Ireland, this situation is ripe for the The Ginger Cockpuncher to send a message. And that message should be: "Fuck you old man! I'm in charge now! We're not going anywhere if we keep drafting shitty tight ends from small schools! CANNONBALLS!!!"
Yes, we got Marshall, which is the tits. But if we can get Jackson to play alongside The Beast... then holy stacks of gorilla shit piled on top of a teetering turtle that would be monumentally ball-destroyingly awesome.
The problem is that Chargers GM A.J. Smith is a monumental doucheburger and would rather ship Jackson to a shitty team. The Rams and Seahawks are said to be in the mix. And the Vikings are also in play, which makes sense. Also San Diego is likely going to ask for a 1st and 3rd round pick for Jackson.
So the fuck what. Look, I've said it here many times that I like to have as many picks at our disposal as possible. Draft picks and building with youth is essential. But here's the thing. Jackson is 27 years old, just one year older than Marshall. They're both at the point where receivers typically start hitting their boneriffic stride. So it's not like we're trading for an injury prone receiver past his prime. Jackson's (and Marshall's) prime is just getting started.
Practically speaking, getting Jackson along with Marshall would in all likelihood mean that we would have no draft picks until the 4th round next year.
So?
It's not like this regime has proven to be masters of the draft. So far, in two years of work and a shitload of draft picks at their disposal, only two sure-fire players have emerged: Jake Long and Vontae Davis. We still don't know about Chad Henne (although we're hopeful), Sean Smith got beat out by Jason fucking Allen, and there's the whole Pat White shitpocalypse. Our first round pick from this year is out for a month with a broken leg.
Besides, I'd argue that getting Jackson would actually expedite the whole "is Henne the real deal" thing. Because if he dicks up games while having Jackson and Marshall on the field, well we definitely need to move on. A tandem of Marshall and Jackson would immediately make The Robot that much better, while scaring the ever living shit out of every defense we face for the next ten years. The only argument against this would be draft picks (and maybe a contract? but why bring all these celebrities in and build night clubs if we're not going to get money to spend, right Stevie?).
Fuck draft picks. And fuck the rest of the NFL. Let's get Jackson down here and let's start blowing shit up.
