Broaddus is so far up Jerry's ass he doesn't know where he starts and Jerry ends. How else do you explain a scout of any credence (former or not) to be constantly pimping this guy.
Give me Steven Jackson week 1 and don't look back. You'll not only get your yards, you'll also gain physical toughness, pass protection, and production in the passing game. Passing game production would be even better if they signed him immediately.
Jackson is twice the player McFadden is. He's not half what he once was, but he can still get the job done if you limit his carries-- which is exactly what we need.
