Very mixed emotions on this one. On the one hand... Jackson is an idiot. On the other, he is an elite talent that perhaps would grow up under someone who is tough like Harbaugh. Ability wise he is exactly what the Niners need.. .. unless you consider Crabtree a game breaker.
In a high percentage offense like the WCO Harbaugh runs, I don't see how his ultra-high drop rate can be tolerated. Harbaugh has done some amazing things but can he teach Jackson to catch the ball? This isn't the first year he has had trouble catching the ball.
I agree he could be an asset, IF his attitude is right, IF he does not shy away from contact, IF he catches the ball. Lot of IFs there.
