Oh, nunu, you're invited to fly with me any time. I get some of the boys to put a hose on her and she cleans up real nice:

The flight attendants that come with the charter can be a little abusive, sadly, and I do hope you enjoy potted meat and hot mustard.
I think Jackson obviously has a much higher ceiling, but at this point he is a guy who can run who they are willing to use up physically. Bortles' NFL QB traits stopped at looking good in shorts. Jackson has obvious athleticism, a solid arm, and a good deep ball. But right now he is a guy who is dangerous in low scoring games but is worthless when a team falls behind early (like the Ravens did yesterday). Next year will bring adjustments to Jackson (like this year brought to Wentz and Watson), and Jackson will need to show something more than occupying the backside end to allow Baltimore to rush for 200 yards a game. He will need to show he can throw the ball. He never showed that in college where he hit deep balls on bad teams and got crushed by any decent defense.
