After three uneven preseason outings, it might be time to slow down -- but not stop -- the hype train. There's no doubt that Jackson's long-term future in the NFL remains bright, but the idea that he could supplant long-time starter as early as this season has lost all of its momentum. Just take it from Jackson himself, who acknowledged on Monday night that he's yet to play at a high level this offseason.After the Ravens' preseason Dwight Smith Jr. Jersey win over the , , the No. 32 pick in this year's draft was "I don't feel like I've performed at a high level yet," Jackson said, via ESPN.com. More on the NFL "I Keegan Akin Jersey came out cold," Jackson added. "I got to learn that when the vet is up, I have to stay warm through the proce s. I didn't do a good job tonight. I started off slow, incompleting a lot of balls that I didn't like, but I ended up throwing a touchdown." Through three preseason games, Jackson has completed 18 of 43 pa s attempts, which comes out to only 41.9 percent. He's thrown for 201 yards, which means he's averaging only 4.7 yards per attempt. He's thrown two touchdowns and one interception, and posted a 62.3 pa ser rating. He has, at least, added 72 yards and a touchdown on the ground, but . What they need to see is improvement as a pa ser.Against the Colts on Monday night, Jackson demonstrated why he got drafted with the John Means Jersey final pick of the first round. He's clearly got a high ceiling. . is for the TD! : ESPN NFL (@NFL) But he's got some i sues -- accuracy, to name one -- that he needs to work through. His uneven preseason shouldn Joey Rickard Jersey 't be overly concerning to the Ravens, though. Jackson was never supposed to replace Flacco immediately. He was always supposed to spend the next year developing while Flacco finishes his Ravens career. There's a reason why Jackson didn't get drafted until the end of the first round. And that reason is that he's a supremely talented but flawed quarterback prospect. He'll need time to develop. And the Ravens will give him the time he needs while ."There's no question in my mind that he has a great future," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.With Jackson looking like exactly what you'd expect a developmental rookie quarterback Cal Ripken Jersey to look like, the Ravens now have to ask themselves if they're ready to make him Flacco's backup or if RG3 didn't wow anyone with his preseason performance, but he does have a wealth of experience that could help the Ravens in the event Flacco goes down with an injury.
