I wouldn't object to giving up a low round draft pick, but I think we need to give Jackson more of an opportunity to show what he can do.Last season, Lynch averaged 3.8 yards on 120 carries. Jackson had 37 carries for an average of 3 yards per carry. 3 times less carries and not a full yard less per average. In 2008 Jackson averaged 5.5 yards per carry over 45 carries. Lynch went 4.1 over 250 carries. 5 times more carries, less yards per carry. This season Lynch is 20 carries for 3.9 YPC to date, compared to Jackson's 29 carries for a 3.2 average. Against Philly, Jackson averaged 3.5 yards per carry- Why? Philly was playing the pass. No, none of those numbers are lights out, but looking at it from a purely statistical perspective, Jackson and Lynch have pretty similar stats with the slight edge going to Lynch. We can't go making judgments about Jackson based on one game in which he saw so little carries. The kid deserves a chance to prove himself.</blockquote>
