Jackson has top-three speed at the wide receiver position and forces safeties to play deep. The book on DeSean Jackson isn't overly complicated. But with Jackson's big play-ability eroding for the third straight year and his number of drops ranking second in the NFL over the last two seasons to Brandon Marshall. The Eagles Cheap NFL Jerseys didn't mishandle this situation perhaps they properly valued Jackson all along.Jackson ranks 96th out of 117 qualifying wide receivers this season. Last year Jackson was 104th out of 110. In 2009 he was 60th of 107.

This grading system uses the standards like receptions and receiving yards, but also looks at yards after catch and drops. It's no surprise that Brian Baldinger was perplexed as to how to classify Jackson last week on Daily News Live. Is he a No. 1. It's not as if Pro Football Focus's grading system is flawed, or simply overvalues the things Jackson does poorly. A look at other "pure speed" guys shows that Mike Wallace is sixth overall, Jacoby Ford is 49th, Torrey Smith is 52nd and Devery Henderson is 75th. Jackson is closer to Devin Hester than any of these players, who, other than Wallace, are not close to being No. 1 receivers.

In fact, no No. 1 receiver has been close to Jackson at the bottom of the leaderboards the last two seasons Philadelphia eagles jerseys. The most proximate No. 1 this season would be Roddy White. The only No. 1 receiver within 66 spots of DeSean was Miles Austin in 2010, when Jackson was 104th of 110 receivers. The next closest No. 1 to Jackson aside from Austin was Anquan Boldin at No. 38. If Jackson ultimately moves on from the Eagles, he will of course make the occasional splash play in another uniform.

Throwing to Jackson is like constantly chasing a flush in poker. You'll fail enough times to make it a bad percentage play. Besides, the status of Eagles coach Andy Reid has a major topic for the balance of the season NFL Jerseys. It was believed that Reid would be back, because the Eagles are stuck with Mike Vick for at least one more year. Reid's future will hinge on his willingness to admit that it was a mistake to shift Juan Castillo from offensive line coach to defensive coordinator. Reid will stay if Reid concedes that he erred, and rectifies the blunder by firing Castillo.
