Coach55 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 The funniest part about this is that if Freddie was the #12 pick and Lynch was a UDFA and they each kept their stats from this season, everyone would be calling for jackson to be cut yesterday and would be proclaiming Lynch's God-like status. This may be a fair argument if Jackson was performing as bad as Lynch. However, he is not, as he is averaging 1 yard more per carry. The problem is - Lynch plays as if he knows he is the starter regardless and Jackson plays as if he is one step away from being cut. In my eyes, talent wise they are both good backs, but Jackson clearly plays like he always has something to prove - every play. I feel that if you bench Lynch and give Jackson the starting role, even for just the remainder of the season, you will see a whole new Lynch next season. Besides, if AVP was any good, he would find a way to put them both in every play.
