You can often find great RB's that drop or slip through the cracks. For that reason I always like the idea of keeping the backup RB's young. This way you keep adding and eventually find a guy. You stick with a big name for backup and he is clogging the place up. Have 2 young guys back there behind Charles and you add some youth to your team and save some on the cap. Plus you allow for the chance that the guy turns into something, instead of hoping he has one good year left.

Na. Never really got the hype behind steven jackson. Even at his beast he was pretty average imo..

Hes older than dirt, but i guess he would be ok in a backup role. He can still play, hes had 8 straight seasons of 1000 yards. Hes also a decent reciever. We could do worse and have......but im not gonna lose any sleep over whether we get him or not.

We need to be grooming someone to take over for Charles, not picking up guys who are older than Charles.

Jackson has over 10,000 rushing yards and 3300 receiving yards in eight years on some truly shit Rams teams. He's only 29 so some of the "he sucks and is old as dirt" stuff is a little over the top.
That said, I would prefer that the Chiefs went with younger backs to back up Charles. |

I'm not saying I want the Chiefs to pick him up. His days as a #1 are probably over but some RB hungry team (Lions maybe?) will pick him up as a #2. I think he has a couple of decent years in him in that role. |

Although I'd have to look more into his pass blocking skills, but I'd think with his size, he would be good in pass protection. |

He's a good pass protector. Actually, with his blocking and receiving skills, he would make a good 3rd down back despite his size.

The thing about SD and Detroit is that he'd ultimately end up being the #1 both places... |

What a waste of money he would be, its completely unnecessary to go get a back like him.
Theres a dirt cheap, young free agent out there somewhere who'd be perfect to add to our depth with Gray and Draughn. A back is waaay down the priority list this year. |
