Very intersting article.
And I have to admit. I’m starting to kick around ideas in my head about trading Jackson.

But it’s why I’ve said the Seahawks are in terrible shape. They have very, very few pieces moving forward. This offseason is crucial for them.
You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.
