It’s been a couple of years since a high-profile player publicly wrestled with retirement.

Except for this season. With the Ed Reed drama.

How does every retirement article come down to bashing Brett Favre? Seriously, how necessary was that lame shot at Favre? And then to say “that phase consumed nearly half of his career”!?!

If you have nothing to write about, just don’t write anything.

One of the most under appreciated players in the league. Feel bad for him considering he’s been stuck on a terrible Rams team his whole career, but he’s always ran hard no matter what and never complains. Always been a fan and hope the best for him in whatever he decides, although the football fan in me hopes he keeps playing.

I remember thinking as I watched him play for Oregon State that the young man was going to kick ass in the NFL. Unfortunately, like Barry Sanders before him, he wound up spending his career on a team filled with players that couldn’t begin to match, talent wise, what he had to offer.

Whether its for the Rams or some other team that’s a contender, I feel like he could def play a 2004 Corey Dillon role for somebody, no?

i watched jeff fisher’s titans closely for all the years he was there….ill never understand why he is regarded so highly. most over rated coach in the nfl by a long shot. look at his record, especially in the playoffs. good luck tho sjax a true class act, hope he plays another 9.

He, like Peterson, are great ones saddled with failed teams.

Why? Doesn’t he want to play in Los Angeles in 2015.

Total class act. Dallas passed up on him and it still ticks me off. Great career and I hope he comes back for 2 more years.

There is no need for a Brett Favre comparison here. They asked Steven a question and he playfully answered it. We all know this man is playing next year.

The Seinfeld nuances (or shoutouts) are always welcome, Mike. As a 49ers fan, I’d be thrilled to see Steven hang it up. He’s been fun to watch, but is a deadly workhorse.

As a Rams fan, I would love for him to stay for another season. That being said, my feelings wouldn’t be hurt if he left to chase a quicker title with another team, he deserves it. Would hate to see him just hang it up for good.

I despise the Rams but he’s a hell of a runner. If he hadn’t spent the majority of his career on awful teams he would be a first ballot type runner. Dude leaves it all on the field, period.

No matter who you are, you have to respect Jackson. A monster on the field and a true professional.

Signed, not-a-Rams-fan.

Hang in there a little longer SJ, with Fisher and a bunch of draft picks thanks to RG3, they should be on the up and up quickly…
