all good things.

Not sure why everyone's so enamored with us possibly signing this guy. Jackson's a great player, and would upgrade our offense tremendously, but having a great WR corps is a luxury, not a necessity. If we were the Patriots, 49ers, or Panthers, and were one step away from the Super Bowl, then I'd love to sign him. But we're not those teams; we're a team with serious needs on the offensive line and secondary. I suppose if we sign Jackson, Garcon will either be cut or take a pay cut next offseason, so we'd only have a lot of cap tied up at WR for one year, but still... I wish we had gone more heavily after offensive linemen; having a great pass-blocking unit up front would help RG3 more than any great receiver.

Bruce Allen seems to think we're closer to the Super Bowl than I do, and if so, he must see something in our current O-line that allows us to go after a luxury receiver like Jackson. I sincerely hope he's right.
