There's a lot of crummy quarterbacks in the NFL. And while Josh Freeman might not be one of them, he's certainly not as good as his teammate, Vincent Jackson, believes. In fact, Jackson's confidence is downright laughable. Jackson, who is entering his first season in Tampa Bay, spoke highly of his new Buccaneers squad on Monday, but it's his comment regarding Freeman that has virtually everyone else on the planet shaking their head in bewilderment. "We were a little more flashy as far as the names go [in San Diego], but I think we're just as talented here all the...

Vincent Jackson teaching Williams how to be a pro
Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams had acceptable stats in 2011. But after the numbers he put up as a rookie the year before, he views it as a “terrible season.” Williams hopes the addition of wide receiver Vincent Jackson, which moves him from split end to flanker, will help him bounce back to the form he [...]

Vincent Jackson is excited to be playing in Tampa Bay, which is lovely because I’m sure the fans are happy to have him. Jackson signed a five-year contract worth slightly over $55 million over the offseason, so it is hardly surprising that he has only positive things to say as he begins his new journey with the Buccaneers. That being said, there’s a very fine line between being...

Tampa top receiver Jackson to draw crowd
Vincent Jackson was signed to be a No. 1 receiver, something the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rarely had in nearly four decades in the NFL.
Jackson, who proved a deep threat in seven seasons with the San Diego Chargers, is the only proven veteran on a young receiving corps that will look to him for leadership and touchdowns.
The Bucs plan to line him up in several different spots...

After Vincent Jackson inked a $55 million contract with the Buccaneers this offseason, he instantly became the team’s top receiver, and shiny new toy for quarterback Josh Freeman.
Jackson, formerly of the Chargers, was tasked with transitioning from Philip Rivers, a perennial Pro Bowler, to Freeman, who most would agree is still a work in progress.
V-Jax disagrees — and then...

We get it. Vincent Jackson is happy to be out of San Diego and with the up and coming Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But that happiness doesn’t give him the license to make outlandish statements about his new quarterback.
We’ve been down this road once, but that time it was with Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. And as absurd as it was for Flacco to state that he’s the best quarterback...

He said it with a straight face, too. I get speaking up for your teammate, especially your QB, but this is beyond ridiculous. If anything, Josh Freeman might be top 5 of over-hyped QB’s the last few years, but certainly not a top 5. But, Vincent Jackson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said it. “We [...]

The Bucs (No. 26 in the AP Pro32) have brought in many veteran receivers to be their top guy - Alvin Harper, Keyshawn Johnson, Joey...

One of the fun trends that's emerged in the NFL over the last few years is a need to say that every single quarterback falls under some random qualification like "elite" or "Top-10" or whatever. Typically these claims sound pretty ridiculous, but new Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson took the cake. Jackson, asked about his new quarterback Josh Freeman...

A lot has changed in San Diego for the 2012 season. Vincent Jackson, who has been the number one wide receiver for the Chargers for the last few years, is gone.
