I never said Jackson isn’t a dynamic player who creates scoring opportunities. He does so magnificently because of the threat his legs present to defenses. My only assertion is that it won’t last long. Eventually, age or injury will catch up to him. Most likely it will be injury. By running, he opens himself up to hard tackles, and we all know there’s nothing DBs like more than laying into a QB. Or a lineman rolls into his leg while he tries to scoot into the end zone. He probably has 2, maybe 3 good seasons left before he starts missing games while on IR. Sorry if some of you don’t want to accept that, but physics dictates it.
Can anyone name a running QB who has enjoyed longevity in the league? Because Jackson does not break the mold, he’s merely another version of it who is currently enjoying the benefits of youth and improperly schemed defenses. His hourglass is running.

So what specific injury is going to be the one that turns him from a 4.3 runner to a 4.9?

It's a good thing Matt Stafford, Nick Foles and Drew Brees don't run. They are extremely safe from injury in the pocket
