Sheesh, it's people like this that shouldn't be allowed to breed...
And yes, this type of misinformation is typical around here. Where there are great minds, there are bound to be dopes
Last season LT got only one carry last preseason (if I am not mistaken) and he took it for a TD or something. Don't quote me on that, I remember reading something like that earier. How did LT do last year sitting out most of the preseason? oh yeah, he was the #2 RB.
That team has been in disaray ever since Martz took over. It's the system that made Faulk. It's the system that made Holmes. Jackson is a great RB, and he should be a top 5 this season... but to put him as the #1... The only concusion I can come up with is that this guy was dropped on his head as a child.
First off, let's look at STL's SOS: 16.4

That puts STL tied for the THIRD WORST schedule for RBs
Second, let's take a look at that roster...
Bulger scares no one. He'll be day to day by week 6, out by week 10. Freotte doesn't scare anyone either
Holt is great, but that's about all they got for a weapon on that team.
Bruce is old, he'll be hurt as well this season... giving way to Curtis who is an average WR
Now let's look at that OL... Pace is HURT, Timmerman is very very old as is McCulum. About the only thing good on that line is the two 2005 picks Incognito and Barron.
How about FB? STL lost their FB from last season, and now they resigned someone who's been a career backup...
And you say all of this points to Jackson as a #1 RB? Please, show me something more than 8 yards per carry after ONE PRESEASON game...
