As others have pointed out, however, he was taking the comparison 180 degrees in the wrong direction. We should have handled Jackson's development they way we're handling Berry's, not treat Barry like Jackson.
I thought it was a poor selection from a pre-draft standpoint (talking about Jackson), but that's a completely separate issue from looking at his development post-draft. I think that's something a lot of people have real trouble with, separating draft discussion (which is essentially meaningless once the picks have been made) from actual NFL performance.
