Not really. I expressed concern about Faulk's status before the season started, and I started calling myself a "Jacksonite" at mid-season. I did, jokingly, revise my title to "Faulksonite" after Marshall had a couple of good games, but that does not change the fact that I have thought that Jackson should be the feature back for some time.
I think the whole "Jackson is not durable" is the kind of myth created by people repeating it a lot of times. He had a nagging knee injury that was made worse by the turf. The injury was dealt with after the season (why isn't anyone praising Jackson for playing through it?) and there's no reason to presume it will recur. He was pretty durable in college as a feature back, so I'm not ready to question his durability due to one relatively minor injury.
