The signing of Jackson (I think I might call him Bo, just 'cause) could end up as yet another footnote in TFC's history. He is, after all, a fairly average MLS player.
Throughout his career he's produced at almost exactly a replacement player level. Dead average MLS players, by definition, don't tend to make an impression.

However, there are a couple of factors that favour Bo. One, TFC has an insanely low level of MLS average players. It's the biggest failing of the club over its seven tragic seasons--management (and, often, fans) look down their nose at MLS average and instead have consistently swung for the fences in discovery signing chases that ultimately have failed to deliver.
So, when Tim Bezbatchenko started talking about the need to add 3-4 MLS veterans it should have given tuned in TFC fans some hope. When he started to actually follow through on it?
Plan a parade!
When that follow through started on December 9, not three hours before First Kick (*cough* Dan Gargan *cough*), then plan the DAMN parade!!
Lots of work yet, of course, and Bo has some anger and turnover issues that give one pause, but...
Good start so far. For once.
