Turner had gotten to the point where he was 10 carries for 11 yards, and if we were lucky, a run for 20+ yards. Jackson is by far an improvement

Nah, Mike Smith is just an airhead that refused to run the ball more.

Absolutely not. Jackson is definitely a better option out of the backfield right now. Plus, despite what the second to last play would have you believe, he can catch much better than Turner ever could.

I think it's the o line. And the fact that he played the best d in the league.

Not even close. Unless you consider acquiring a lighter, faster, more versatile threat, a lateral move.

I just did not care when they signed him. I just had the feeling it was a lateral move. Another old RB who won't even get the opportunities anyway because of poor game management.
week 1 makes me feel the same. I think it was a good move in the sense that they were 13-3. They didn't get better, but the move keeps them at the same level.

Turner averaged 50 yards per game last year...you can't just start throwing out long runs...especially based on one game...lots of RBs had shitty games...also the offensive line has gotten slightly worse

yes, steven jackson is all of those things, but with running backs the tires can go out at any time, and at best...he doesn't have alot of tread on them.

based on his age and how many carries he has had in his career. He didn't impress anyone on SundaY.

No

With the exception of the one big run, Jackson didn't get much else.

The average running back tends to last for about 5 years before the tires completely fall off, especially when they've put in a lot of carries in a single season.
He's on his 10th season and already has about 2,400 carries in his career and an additional 400 receptions.

Why word it this way? You can manipulate any player's stats to make them look better or worse, so why not just say 11 carries for 77 yards?
That 50 yard run in game 1 is a pretty big deal considering Turner didn't have a rush that long all of last season. Also, it's not like it was just an open hole with no one around - Jackson made a couple of good cuts and showed an impressive burst for his age. He also brought in 5 catches for 45 yards, and he'll continue to be a big part of their passing game.
ETA: 1200 rushing yards is an attainable number for Jackson this season and a big upgrade from Turner's 800 yards last year.

Turner is still a free agent, so Jackson is obviously better.
The Falcons OL is mediocre and the Saints played over their heads on D.
Sjax will be fine.
