I know it's a little early for fantasy football talk, but when I saw this my blood started to boil just a bit.
Whatever. I wouldn't read too much into Steven Jackson's performance last season. As Rams fans are well aware, the offensive line had all the consistency of wet toilet paper, and it wasn't just the passing game that suffered. What was a consistent attack up the middle in 2006 (4.77 Adjusted Line Yards, 2nd best in the league) was an exercise in futility last season (4.08 ALY, 18th in the league). To make matters worse, runs through the tackles and ends were both among the worst in the league last year, after success the season before. Add into the mix the fact that the passing game was mostly a wash - which hurt the offensive balance and Jackson's usual lofty receiving totals - and you understand why Steven Jackson wasn't a fantasy stud in 2007.
Hey, if people avoid Jackson in your fantasy draft, all the better for you.

sadly

I am fairly new
What is a troll? I have seen it before but am still not quite sure.My guess is that it is an opposing team's fan who is trying to play games?

troll
it's someone that comes here and just posts BS comments all the time. One time we had a Bears fan that kept making posts and comments about how bad the Rams were, how great the Bears were, why domes suck, etc., i.e. he offered nothing constructive to the discussion.Ryan Van Bibber - April 5, 2008
Terrible Projection
These guys have Peyton Manning as the #3 QB in FF. No way, no how. I would not trust that site one bit.Marmie is the best - April 3, 2008
Well
With a healthy offensive line and a healthy jackson, the sky is the limit. He will play with a chip on shoulder this season after making predictions that didn't come true. Watch out.chosen1 @ Turf Show Times - April 4, 2008
change "didn't come true"
to "couldn't come true."Sometimes semantics is meaningful.

I guess
those people don't remember that he was injured, running behind an atrocious line, and lacking a true blocking fullback and he STILL managed to gain more than 1000 yds and rip off several long runs...But, then, why confuse them with facts....
