Why? The Niners have been a very successful running team now for a few seasons. They're needs are on defense.

If he's cheap, he can take Jacob's spot. I don't see why not.
Two bulls = Gore and Jackson
Two hare's = hunter and james
One Gazzelle = Kaep
One cheerleader = Dixon

LMAO
I agree but the chances of Jackson being cheap are probably really low especially when teams like the Packers or Patriots could really use a RB like Jackson.

If we signed Steven Jackson then we'd have this weird albino kid following us around too

We have other areas of need. DL, DB, and WR are positions we should be looking at. He would be an expensive luxury.

He would never want to come here regardless.
He is not a washed up Jacobs. Guy can still play at a high level. He wants to be a starter, and he will be.

I really like Steven Jackson. He runs hard. He's big. He's a smart player. He's versatile. He's a more powerful, less shifty version than Gore, pretty much.
But with the backs we have, he'd mostly be used as a power-back, and would mostly run the same style of runs as Frank Gore... so he wouldn't really be much of a change-of-pace that complements Gore. (Of course, if Gore got injured, we'd have a minimal drop in switching to Jackson).
To summarize, if we had both Gore and Jackson on the team, healthy, we'd really only see Steven Jackson two, three times a game, in a short-yardage situation. The 49ers would rather bring in Hunter or James, guys with different styles of runs, when Gore goes to the bench.
Besides, we already have a guy who can fulfill that two, three short-yardage runs in a game... Anthony Dixon. He didn't do it for us last year, but this year... he was pretty good in short-yardage situations. Throw in the fact that he's a special teams player, and has been in the same system for awhile, we're fine with Dixon as our fourth back.
It'd be nice to have Steven Jackson, but a guy like that deserves to get more carries and more money than he'd get here.
