I know alot of the posters are down on Chad Jackson... but hear this out.
What does it take to be Rookie of the Year?
1000 - 1100 rushing yards
75 - 80 catches
We know Maroney is capable.. but won't get the carries
Deangelo WIlliams also won't get the carries
Reggie Bush will get some combination of carries and catches.. but I'm guessing he's not as durable as people think.
Vernon Davis may get there, but methinks Alex Smith has too many issues
So how about a talented WR who is going to have a great QB throwing him the ball. Without Branch, its the perfect storm in terms of having a talented rookie being featured throughout the season. Something I don't think we can say about any other rookie.
Heck, Chad Jackson doesn't even need to play the first few games to reach the 75 catch mark.
