I don't think it's fair to say any GM misses on a FA. When you are bidding on players, there are 31 losing GM's with that logic. 

 

I'm more than okay with not having Vernon, I probably would not have signed Jackson, but his presence on the defense has been significant. Jackson is in the very good, not elite tier of defensive lineman... but If you think he's a bust it's because you are stat counting on a 5 technique Defensive End which is a no-no. Jackson is a prototype for the defense the jags run and he's not ever going to have 10 Sacks, that's not his game. His sacks (like the one today) are usually going to be coverage sacks. Jackson is as disruptive a lineman as there is in the league and it bothers me when stat watchers don't properly analyze what's going on. 

 

I understand you are upset that Jackson is overpaid, but so is that 2014 Toyota Rav 4 you're paying 30 grand for, so who are you kidding! You pay too much for things are good-not-great and you still get to work at 15 minutes after 8 because you stayed up the night before watching old episodes of Fraser
