I know the Rams lost again yesterday, this time to the Miami Dolpins, but is any one player more important to his team right now than Steven Jackson?

Without SJax in the lineup, the Rams were getting wiped by everyone. But with Jackson back in the fold yesterday, St. Louis finally showed some life on offense which kept some of the pressure off the defense.

Not saying that Jackson will or should win the MVP award, but he certainly is THE St. Louis offense.
