SJax no longer Elite?

Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson believes Steven Jackson has "lost a step" and no longer qualifies as an elite NFL running back.
"He struggles to run away from tacklers and break long runs. And he just isn't as nifty as he once was," said Williamson, a huge fan of S-Jax's game prior to 2010. Williamson does believe Josh McDaniels' offense and the maturation of Sam Bradford could do Jackson "a world of good." Turning 28 in July, Jackson may still have another top-10 fantasy finish left, but there's little question that he's entering his decline phase.

Hmmm

When did Jackson ever have the ability to consistently run away from defenders?

Due to injuries, he hasn't.

He is still a legitimate first round fantasy pick for the simple fact that he is one of the lone single backs left in the game in what is looking more and more like a strike shortened season.
