Double Agent Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 did he even play one play? Yes. Half assed his routes and then got injured. He's playing the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) did he even play one play? Really?

Atlas Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Considering my bench is nursing Crayton, Cotchery and S.Smith...I figured VJax was a gift....bah...return it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustOfBeenDrunk Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 all i can say is if he is faking it he must be convinced that the Chargers are going no where in the playoffs ?? If he thought they could go all the way would he want to be sitting on the bench during then SB ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebartender Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Serves me right I play my entire regular season with Felix Jones at the flex and Lance Moore as my 3rd WR then in my 1st playoff game this week I bail on those 2 guys for S-Rice and V-Jackson 2 guys who have not been in my line up all year. Great late draft picks very sneaky of me to grab them late for my playoff push You start you playoffs in week 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustOfBeenDrunk Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 He could always "recover" for the playoffs. and they could alway leave him on the bench for faking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brg88tx Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 have they even given an update to this bullsheet calf "injury"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 You really think he is faking it? On the one hand it does seem like a pretty lame injury. And he was clearly unhappy and was forced to come back and play or else be in the exact same position next year. And it was a pretty rough and angry hold out. And he is making WAY less money than he wanted. BUT do you really think a professional player would do that? Think about it. If it ever became clear he was faking, and these things have a way of getting out there, he would be black listed I'd think. Not only does it say something about him as a person, what would it say to would be teammates? He totally gave up on them if he faked out after 1 play. Just not sure he would do something like that.

Riffraff Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 If he is faking, they could always suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 You really think he is faking it? Just not sure he would do something like that. It's a calf injury. Tearing that muscle is almost impossible. So usually it's a deal with the pain type. VJax is a puzzy. He scammed us. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was unsure before, but I actually think he is faking it now. They just showed him. He is standing alone on the sideline still in uniform. If he was so hurt that he was out for the game would he be standing there alone and in uniform still mid way in the 4th when he got "hurt" early 1st Q? I bet we hear a story about this one this week. Unreal that a pro player would do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 How many times have we seen players miss training camp due to contract disputes and then get injured as soon as they come back to play? From now on I'm calling this the "VJax Syndrome". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallagorilla Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 i tore (slight tear) my calf muscle playing flag football about 7 weeks ago and just now got my walking boot off. if he had the same injury, theres no way he would have been able to go back in. trust me, it hurts like hell.

myhousekey Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Published Mon Nov 29 2:18:02 p.m. CT 2010 (KFFL) San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson (calf) tweaked his left calf during practice Friday, Nov. 26, and then injured his right calf during the team's Week 12 game, likely trying to overcompensate for his injured left calf, a source told Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Another source said he did not known of any injury Friday, but that Jackson did more than he should have leading up to Week 12 and was sore.
