“ He has done very well in replacing Faulk as St. Louis’ feature back as an elite runner and receiver in his own right. It’s also a good sign he has looked his strongest as a Pro Bowler the past two seasons. Staying healthy to have three more of his typical seasons, he will crack the top 15 all-time in yards from scrimmage, giving him a strong case. More team success with the Rams would be a big boost.”

It’s hard to argue those points, but I have to think that the Rams as a team will have to make a deep postseason run at some point before he retires if SJ39 is going to make the Hall. As good as he is and has been, I find it difficult to believe that he will get the recognition he deserves unless this team becomes a threat in the NFC over the next few years. I certainly think that’s possible, especially if Jackson stays healthy and we get another back to take some of the pressure off.
