I think another factor is that it's been going around for awhile that WR's don't want to play with Jackson because they won't put up #'s and it will hurt their next contract.  

They are also perceived negatively due to the fact that there are a number of QB's who are great runners(Allen, Watson, Wilson,etc), but aren't really considered running QB's because they are also talented passers and look to pass first.  That automatically makes QB's who aren't great passers and have to rely on their legs seem less than.

People don't realize how important the run game is to option QBs. Its hard for them to adapt to different situations like alot of offenses in the NFL. There are some really good dual threat QBs though like Josh Allen and Russell Wilson.
