I just can’t understand it being a major determining factor for a guy already in the NFL who is young and seemingly on an upward trajectory.

Matters if you aren't sure how he'll translate from scheme to scheme.
I don't know the Rams pass pro scheme well enough to say with any confidence how much different theirs would be than ours. But if they're doing things designed to cover for that sort of weakness -- well, we've seen how reluctant Andy is to try that.
So if they're going to go into FA and spend real money, they're going to go for a guy like Robinson instead if they think they'd have to 'cover' for Jackson's arm length.
But again, it ain't like they won't have some way of figuring this sort of thing out. That's mostly what the legal tampering period is for at this point. And the tape is the tape.
If they sign him, I'm not gonna worry a bit about the arms because they aren't worried. If they DON'T sign him...well then who gives a shit? He probably sucks anyway.
