I know some rbs in timeshares don't do well. For instance Spiller. As well as looking at what happened to DWill and Ronnie/Ricky when the panthers and dolphins became pass first. I also look at BGE who's production wasnt so great last year or any rb not named Grant on the packers who got little run chances and didnt do much with it. AP slid off for a couple seasons when vikes were becoming qb driven and then went to AP. Now they're becoming qb driven again. Idk I always thought less chances means more rust.

I think the big advantage for Jackson is he's not going to be the only offensive weapon on the field anymore and the increase in red-zone carries he'll see moving to Atlanta ... and besides, who's gonna' take his carries in Atlanta? Jacquizz Rodgers? Here's a good article on it:
