He certainly has the looks of a solid backup/3rd down RB. He canrun, catch, and block effectively.
Seems like another solid move.

Oh No he's not,, I talked to Akronjoe and he said.........Oh never mind 
Honestly, he does look right for us.

Coming into free agency I wasn't expecting to pick up a RB... but I'm fine with the move... he's a good rotation guy that should keep our top two dawgs rested.... I honestly don't remember much about Jackson except for a break out game in the playoffs a year or two ago.

Jackson most likely would have provided the Packers with a similar role behind Ryan Grant and with the emergence of Starks in the playoffs.
I really did not give him much thought, because I thought GB would resign him, so he was a pleasant surprise.

His numbers look good, though I have to believe that if he was as good as we're hoping, the Packers would've kept him around. Hopefully I'm wrong.

He was brought in to be our 3rd string running back and will probably see only a handful of rushing attempts all season. However he is a good receiver and good at picking up the blitz, so when Hillis is tired and its 3rd down and medium to long, he'll get his number called. You guys are being awfully critical about one of the signings we've made that makes the most sense.

I had my hopes set on an UDFA RB, so this was more then I hoped for to have a guy with his experience and talents.
Remember last year we left Hillis in in 3rd and long.
With Jackson now we can rest him and keep him fresh. I think that Hillis was wore down by the final few games of the season.
He doesn't have to come in here and learn the offense and that's always a big plus.
There's a lot to like about this signing.

Jackson is fine as a Back-up, but the Green Bay running game was not a productive after the injury to Ryan Grant.
I like the move as Hardesty is injury prone.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

True,
That's not to say he was not tiered just the same. he even admitted as much himself, but I thought it was pretty obvious he was not himself.

I think for a # 3 HB and 3rd down back we got a pretty good player.

My avid packer fan friend tells me he was only a receiver RB and not very effective as a runner. Just passing it on, I never saw the kid play. I can at least HOPE that since the Packers deemed him unworthy he may have new motivation to show well in Cleveland.

OK I'm game what words do you prefer
expendable
superfluous
redundant
underachiever
or a stinker.
hey, I am hoping the guys has the motivation to give his all when his
last boss found him wanting like say, Shaun Rogers will do in NO
or Rob Ryan in Dallas whom we both found expendable.

So every free agent out there was unwanted by his old team .... and a expendable, superfluous,
redundant underachiever? Budgets and salaries and caps played no part ...... they were all considered extraneous by their old teams?
Is that really what you're saying?

Joe,
For every starting RB in the league there are twice as much and more back-up RB's.
Even Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner had Herman Fontenot to spell them on obvious passing downs.
Herman Fontenot was an extra weapon in Bernie's arsenal.
The majority of backs in this league today are not "bell cows". (We have at least one possibly two in Hardesty) They are situational backs.
Last year Jackson had to shoulder the load and I don't know what the GB fans expected more of from Jackson.
They have not been committed to running the ball since Rodgers took the rains and perhaps even longer.
The point is that the teams that are committed to running the ball have better success and I don't care who your RB is he is tied to his teams philosophy.
I thought Jackson exceeded most expectations of him last year.
We did not sign Jackson to be our "bell cow". He was signed not just to be a back-up, but also to be a complimentary back to the guys we have.
You can look at the fact that GB did not resign him in different ways, but after seeing him play a few times last year in the regular season.
I am more inclined to think we took one from them as opposed to some of the other suggestions in this thread.

Terry Pluto wrote he was the 47th most effective runner RUNNING the ball. Not all that exciting a stat in my book.

Thank Wojo, that was about identical to my rabid packer friends assessment a third down pass catcher and not much more yet terry pluto wrote he was at least a good blocker as well.

So our new 3rd down back can catch the ball, and pass block... If only we ran an offense that favored passing the ball...

j/c Why does everyone expect Jackson to be a 3rd RB? At the current juncture, I'd project him at #2. Last year at this time most people thought Hillis would be the 3rd RB. ... just saying.

I understand ... but we're talking about a player that's essentially a rookie with no real NFL experience learning a new system with a new head coach versus a veteran who has worked in similar schemes.
Maybe Hardesty surprises, but I'd slot Jackson #2 at the moment. JMHO.

That would put him as the 15th best second string running back in the league, a little better than half the other second string running backs in the league.
Not bad for a guy projected as our 3rd string running back, I'd say

I'm not sure why anyone doubted the Hillis trade really. He had one of his best games for Denver against us, so we all saw what he could do first hand. Maybe it was the man crush on Brady?

It's not really that Jackson is the RB2 or RB3. It's that he is a 3rd down RB. He will spell Hillis more often in passing situations (i.e. 3rd downs) while Hardesty will spell Hillis more often in running situations (i.e. 1st/2nd downs).
That is if Hardesty can stay healthy long enough to play. But, that is the hope.

IMO, why akronjoe and others have ripped the Browns for the Jackson signing is bc they've already put Hardesty on career-ending IR, leaving Jackson as the backup.
There is a glutton of RB's still unsigned, so even if an injury occurs, i think we will be fine

yeah, I tend to not worry about RB for that very reason. we see guys like Starks last year in the playoffs step up and help out a team seemingly out of nowhere (though Starks was at least a part of the GB team the whole year)
