Let's take Jackson point of view for a second, and say that the gang stuff is a non-issue. Is this the first case of Chip Kelly mishandling a star player? I know Kelly gets lots of love in the media, and so far it seems deservedly so, but one issue with going from College to NFL as a head coach is that the players are now grown men, and may not cater to the head coach's beliefs as easily as college athletes do. No clue if there is correct in any way or just some "confirmational bias" on my part.

Releasing a star player that was already accounted for cap wise, and is a big part of your style offense is not the typical NFL action.

Everyone has definitely drank the Kelly Kool Aid. I think you're right, Kelly is now being exposed to issues he didn't have to deal with in college.
