The guy has nearly a 3-1 career TD-INT ratio (95-33) and a career passer rating of 99.4, which is good for 5th all time. He throws for less yards per year not because he can’t do it, but because he can also do it with his legs. He’s got 4000ish career rushing yards on top of his QB accomplishments…why do so many disregard everything but the rushing yards?
He’s already won the league MVP once, and is probably the current favorite to do it again (although it’s way too early to talk about that).
I agree. It is strange to see people still calling Jackson a glorified running back. He is a very dangerous passer and doesn't put up huge yardage numbers because he doesn't pass all that often. He's been near the bottom of the league in pass attempts because they have been a run heavy offense with him. And yes, he is also the most dangerous running QB to hit a field (I would put him ahead of Vick, personally).
Dude's a stud, there is no way around it. The defense has a huge test next Sunday night.
