This sort of bums me out because even if it validates Bill's decision not to re-sign JC, it's been a good story. Hopefully he can get healthy and regain some of his previous ball-hawking proclivity.
I put the over/under at 2 years until JC is back playing for the Patriots and making a difference.
I was thinking something like this. I expected him to succeed in LA and was bummed when he left, but maybe he becomes a boomerang story. At least he got his bag first.
Going back to the first post in this thread, it looks like Gaffney as a baseball player didn't work out

The way my brother described it: "significant non contact knee injury that had him leave the game in an aircast."
Sounds like he is finished for the year.

I feel like some of this has to be scheme and coaching right?
Like, the Chargers Defense seems like it has a ton of talent but it also seems like some odd scheming.
Using the highlights from the game he got benched in, that Dulchich busted coverage probably is his fault but that either seems to me that he was supposed to be zone and followed his guy as man or that the intention was to line up JC Jackson on the tight eend instead of the WR, instead letting him run free to the safety. On the Hamler catch, clearly Jackson is way behind but why is Derwin James also that far behind on the receiver (unless his role was to play mid field and then he had to scramble back when JCJ lost coverage)? Staley puts these both on JCJ so I'm assuming he knows the play call but it feels weird that the players were in these spots. Or that the Chargers paid this much money for a CB like JCJ to have him play zone against tight ends.
I dunno, I feel like the Chargers are a zone defense from the little I've seen under Stalry and they paid a ton of money to a man who made his bones as a man CB. Might be more of a talent mismatch than Jackson suddenly becoming a terrible CB. Hope he recovers and either figures it out or pulls an old KVN and comes back.

The injury is an example why NFL free agents should always chase the money when they can. Careers turn on a single play.
Feel horrible for him but I’m glad for the timing for him. You really can’t begrudge dudes for taking the money and this is an absolutely textbook example.

I know mugshots aren't glamor shots, but Jesus he looks terrible. Thats a worrying picture.
First thing I thought of was this (second thing was how the hell was he not ruled down?):

Yeah, and he's only 34 years old. In another world he's still playing ball.
Additional reports say there was an incident at a nightclub.
