I don't necessarily think "Jackson is not durable", but I do think it is a legitamite question. It was probably repeated a lot of times because it was recurring and went from briuse, to partially torn ligament, to surgery.
My hope is that
Steven Jackson comes back at 100%, stays healthy, and realizes the enormous potential he has shown. Just in case though, I think the team should make keeping Marshall Faulk a priority.
