Re: Alaric Jackson Officially signs restricted FA tender; Ronnie Rivers Oficially signs exclusive rights FA tender/Stu Jackson

Glad to have all of them back.

Revealing stats about AJ. Ranked #7 with 5% sacks allowed? I though he played right well in the late season games, showing much improvement over what I'd seen, say when he first became a starter or stepped in for Boom when injured. He was competetive, yet prone tpo mistakes, and underweight.

He doesn't look underweight to me now. In the last two games I saw him play in, he didn't whiff - that I saw, anyay. He was solid - obviously had been well coached.

I often wonder with players: How much of the fan prejudice against them is based on their past impressions, and cast-in-stone opinions formed then? Are we prone to that on this board?

Leads to nother question: Do we really need to think so hard about replacing him with a high draft pick?
