Perfect example here:
RT @Sprow_ESPN: How good was Hue? W/o dramatic personnel moves, Raiders went from 4,256 yds in '09 to 5,674 in '10. (Al gets a nod.)

Well, we could argue all day about whether it was more JaMarcus vs. Campbell/Gradkowski or that Run Dmac stopped running like a girl, but I'll give credit where it's due.
Jackson did fix up JC quite a bit. No, JC still isn't that good, but he played better than under the Zorn. He also utilized much of the talent at his disposal, like Ford, Reece, etc. He certainly earned his shot.
