[QUOTE="TJV, post: 359189, member: 4300"] [FONT=Verdana]I guess I’d have to ask, how poor is the poor man? Seriously, Starks provided the spark that was needed toward the end of the season. I loved the way he almost always fell forward and broke some tackles. And because of his up-right running style, the fact he didn’t play in a game during his senior season, and was a raw rookie, I was worried he’d fumble the ball at a critical moment. I don’t remember a single time he even bobbled the ball. But he blew some blitz pickups big time so he’s got some work to do. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana] [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]IMO while Jackson is only a 3rd down back, he’s an exceptional one: Great at blitz pickup and good hands. He even made some defenders miss down the stretch. I can still see him juke Urlacher for a big first down in the NFC Championship game. But Thompson won’t break the bank for a 3rd down back.
