H2o Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 overrated...??? r u kidding me?? he is one of the best, size, quickness, speed, can catch. he had like 2300yds in total offense 2 yrs ago. He had 1 good year. That's it. It doesn't make him one of the NFL's best. Here's his career stats: 2007 St. Louis Rams 12 games, 237 carries, 1,002 yards, 4.2 ypc, 54 long, 5 TD's, 38 rec., 271 yards, 7.1 ypr, 37 long, 1 TD's, 5 Fumbles, 2 lost 2006 St. Louis Rams 16 games, 346 carries, 1,528 yards, 4.4 ypc, 59T long, 13 TD's, 90 rec., 806 yards, 9.0 ypr, 64T long, 3 TD's, 4 fumbles, 2 lost 2005 St. Louis Rams 15 games, 254 carries, 1,046 yards, 4.1 ypc, 51 long, 8 TD's, 43 rec., 320 yards, 7.4 ypr, 27 long, 2 TD's, 3 fumbles, 3 lost 2004 St. Louis Rams 14 games, 134 carries, 673 yards, 5.0 ypc, 48 long, 4 TD's, 19 rec., 189 yards, 9.9 ypr, 28 long, 0 TD's, 1 fumbles, 1 lost The bold is the 1 really good year for him. There have been other 1 year wonders at the RB position. Barry Foster comes to mind with his 1 year with 1,600+ yards in '92. Insert any of the Denver RB's here recently (minus Terrel Davis). They pass through the NFL all the time. The guy is not great by any means.
VOR Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Those are his career stats? Man, I was under the impression that he did more than that.

They pass through the NFL all the time. The guy is not great by any means. Do you really think that 1,000 yards in 12 games while averaging over 4 yards/carry sucks? I'd put that in the pretty darn good catagory. Especially since the rest of the Rams s.u.c.k.e.d. last year. There was nobody else to worry about except Jackson. He's a very talented player, and I'd put him among the best runningbacks out there.

berndogg Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Agreed. It's not the same situation at all as it is with Peters. I agree as well, this has a bigger impact on my fantasy draft board than it does on the Peters situation.

apuszczalowski Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 36 touchdowns, 8 lost fumbles in 971 rush attempts, 4.4 ave. Not bad for 4 years' work... Not bad, but I wouldn't say it would put him in the top 5 of the league or considered "one of the best"
stuckincincy Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Not bad, but I wouldn't say it would put him in the top 5 of the league or considered "one of the best" IMO, 36 touchdowns trumps opinion about top 5 or "one of the best". For all I care, he could be labeled as the most-overrated ever.
SAM HARRIS Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 IMO, 36 touchdowns trumps opinion about top 5 or "one of the best". For all I care, he could be labeled as the most-overrated ever. right now the top 10 are as follows according to talent, surrounding team and production tomlinson westbrook peterson f. taylor s. jackson/brandon jacobs/lynch/portis/addai imo he is one of the best especially since he is 25 0r 26 and has probably the best size and speed combination of this group. he is about 245lbs i have heard, and the guy can break ankles. he's damn good. the last two years on a bad team he has been everything! being conservative about it he is a top 5 rb.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Are you the 10th? Cause there's only 9 guys there slugger.
SAM HARRIS Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Are you the 10th? Cause there's only 9 guys there slugger. count again tomlinson westbrook peterson f. taylor s. jackson b. jacobs m. lynch portis addai w. parker, sorry there is ten

I agree I think Jackson is awesome, and I love watching him play. I'd have to put Portis in that top 10, and maybe willie parker, and move jacobs out of there.

I'd have to put Portis in that top 10, and maybe willie parker, and move jacobs out of there. the most underated is probably westbrook. he is 80 % of that whole offense. he might be the best!
Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 count again tomlinson westbrook peterson f. taylor s. jackson b. jacobs m. lynch portis addai w. parker, sorry there is ten Parker is not in your original 10 but whatever.

They pass through the NFL all the time. The guy is not great by any means. Your research just makes you look foolish. The guy got better every year, he played last year with 4 of his starting OL out for the year with injuries, including Pace. He would have had another great year if it wasnt for injuries. The guy is a top 5 back, end of story.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 So Steven Jackson's holdout looks like it worked pretty damn good. Yeah, that Eugene Parker is a real idiot, doesn't know what he is doing. Jackson got 21 million guaranteed (4-5 million more guaranteed than they offered him three weeks ago) and basically got 10 million a year for three years according to Adam Schefter. NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports Jackson signed a five-year extension worth $49 million, including $21 million in guaranteed money. The contract will likely void after two years, making it a three-year, $29.3 million dollar extension. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true
