True, but this style of QB is more prone to it. This guy has missed the final month of each of the past two seasons.

And typically if the QB is injured beyond repair or otherwise fails to perform, you can cut him and recoup something. If Jackson gets what he wants, there's no recouping anything.

And that's just physical. If he mentally checks out, you're the same kind of fucked. Reminder: this guy healthy scratched himself from a playoff game. I don't want to have to question a guy's desire on top of everything else.

Marshall Faulk did the same thing, basically a risk/reward business decision. Irsay has shelled out over 100 mil the last 5 years for shitty under performing washed up QB play. All I’m saying is he’s proven to where Richardson is not

It’ll be interesting to see what they do because Richardsons game will have to include a lot of running so there’s risk and longevity issues there as well
