But it is well deserved. What an athlete. He's even fast in slow-motion.

He's still cocky.  What has he proven in this league?  What has he won?  I'm tired of all the yapping.  Line up and play.  Do your talking at your hall of fame induction speech.

He's just going with the plays that are called. When he gets the ball he makes things happen. He has 5 touchdowns that went for 60 yards or more. Who else is doing that? He cannot call plays or throw the ball or get on the field on defense. He does all he can and he does it well.

Why shouldnt he be cocky? Hes the best player on his team, hes early 20s, and hes only played like 20 pro games....

cocky is good at this level imo

agree with you train, nothing wrong with having some swagger, as long as you can back it up. Which he has so far.

Nothing wrong with being cocky.  I'd be willing to bet (-125 yes, +115 no) that most elite players in pro sports are cocky.  That's part of what got them where they are today.  What I don't like are the guys that talk to damn much.  T.O., for example, would have been great and loved by fans in every city he's played if he would have just shut his damn mouth.

Manning.  Montana.  Rice.  Brady.  Barry Sanders.

No talking there.

Heck, Jordan had swagger and talked during the game but he never had to sell himself.

Very true. Good for them. I like those players. Thats a very short list though. How fun would the game be if there was no personality or trash talking? Hell, the NFL has already ended celebrations and and damn near made it impossible to sack the qb or tackle a reciever without getting a penalty....

I hate TO and Chad Johnson.....that is a whole nother level of douche....

As for Jackson....

"It aint braggin' if you can back it up......"

You have to admit that T.O. despite having a bad season has kept his trap shut this season.
