Parcells didn’t miss often but he missed on this one.

Doesn’t get the respect he deserves. This from a Hawks fan.

Enjoyed him in college, admire him as a pro. Doesnt get the props he deserves. Wouldnt mind seeing him in silver and black next year.

Saying that, he embodies all that NFL players should show every week.
Too bad he plays for the Male Sheep.
He reminds me of another big, strong running back that had a pretty good career once he got to a decent team/franchise with a good OL. What was his name…..Bettis!

Jackson doesn’t average 62.5 yards per game, his career average is 77.5.

13th in NFL history, ahead of guys like Tony Dorsett, Thurman Thomas, Marshall Faulk, John Riggins, Jim Taylor….

Seemingly indestructible and steady as they come.

That kid’s a winner, I tell ya!

That same day breaking Faulk’s team record for catches by a RB and becoming the only Ram player to rush for 150 yards and record 100 yards receiving in the same game.

Only RB other than Tomlinson to rush for 1500 yards and catch 90 passes in the same season.

Only one of 15 backs to rush for 10 000 yards with the same team and on the verge of becoming the sixth back ever to hit 1000 yards eight years straight.

Through it all the Rams lost more games than any team in the NFL from 2004-2011.

Adrian Peterson is on pace for about the same total yds this year but with less TDs.

His longevity is impressive though. He would fit into a Packer uniform nicely. The Rams should be appreciative of his talent as he is one of the good ones.

He deserves it.

Nevertheless Jackson has been highly consistent but never really elite. Tough call on HOF.

He can win a Super Bowl ring in Green Bay!

That is, if Ted Thompson comes to the realization that having a solid running back is a good thing.

I gotta tell you, you could have just made this post about Steve Jackson. As good as AP is, S.J. has earn this in his own right. Are you trying to make a point, or do you think he doesn’t deserve this review? In my opinion, Steve Jackson has earned better respect than what you just gave him. (My opinion)
