If he had shown any signs of being even near the level he was in 08, I'd be all for this. But he isn't.

Aaron Rodger's head demolished Urlacher, and if you're looking at video highlights of a specific player, of course that player's going to look 10 times better than he actually is. Granted, I know nothing about this guy, but try to keep things in perspective.

IMO... we could use a change of pace back with home run speed.. a guy that we can get in space and let him loose.

We have a dancer crossed with a bull in Jackson.. and an actual short yardage Bull in Kuhn, and another power runner by the looks of it in Nance in limited footage.

Lynch is an upgraded Jackson type with warts... Jacobs is a Kuhn type with warts.

Give me a jitter bug type that we can put edge pressure on the defenses from the backfield.. with or without warts.

Jackson gave us what we expect from him.. grabbing yards that are there and not much more.. in the mold of Grant.. they are similar with Grant having a little more home run potential.

Color me in the field of adding a scat back true open field threat to mix in with Jackson and Kuhn.. spreading the load and forcing defenses to adjust to the three with packages.

And what scat back rb do you suggest? I don't think the scat back trees are ripe for the plucking.

I'm guessing if that was true, he wouldn't be such an expensive backup RB who gets chewed out by his HC for not plunging into the hole ... on more than one occasion.

I'm sure if you look up highlights on Barry Sanders, you'll be impressed too. That doesn't mean he'd be impressive if he suited up this next week for us.

My point, Jacobs has lost it. I liked him a lot in '07 and '08, but since then he's seemed to tail off a bit. He doesn't run through guys like he used to. He's like a FB that doesn't want to hit someone.


Any pick higher than a 5th rounder for him is a waste, in my observations.

Hell no.

He's a head case, no way Ted brings him in.

---

I think he thinks he's better than he is. Also, I don't believe he's played a full season yet.

---

Personality aside, don't get too attached to RBs. Their careers are short. RBs with long careers are rarer than upside down airplane postage stamps.

I enjoyed watching Jacobs in '07. The '10 Jacobs != '07 Jacobs.

During the game last night the announcers were talking about how he had knee problems the last couple seasons. He's obviously lost something. He used to be a bruiser but backs can only keep up that style for a couple years. it would be a huge mistake to take on a contract like that for a RB with little left in the tank.
