And, this guy, too, deserves his own thread.
The more YouTube clips I watch of this guy, the more he reminds me of - and I kid you not - Beast Mode. Only difference is, Jacobs doesn’t play with the thuggish attitude that Lynch did (not that there’s anything wrong being a thug in the rye). Filipinos are very humble folks.
14 years after the majestic Polar Bear - in an act of incompetence - refused to trade a 3rd rounder to the Hillbillies for Lynch, the Packers finally acquire a Lynch-clone.

And, to pull a Patler, that 3rd round pick Thompson refused to give up? Alex Freaking Green. 475 rushing yards and zip TDs in two seasons in the Green and Mustard Yellow.
All Lynch did in Seattle was sculpt his own bronze bust.
Hopefully Jacobs morphs into Beast Mode in the Green and Mustard Yellow.

Yeah, that was really a failure of epic proportions for ol' Ted.Originally Posted by Anti-Polar Bear
A fluke ring with the greatest QB of his generation not named Brady might not denote “failure of epic proportions” but it’s close. Eli Fucking Manning has more rings than Butte, for fuck’s sake!
3 rings minimum had Butte and Beast played together in their primes.

Let's add hiring Mike McCarthy over Sean Payton.
What has Sean Payton won that Mike McCarthy hasn't?

Now APB I give you props. Lynch was my Jacobs comp for years. He plays with heart and has no use for media days. He isn't like Jones at all, nor is he like Dillon. He sort of meets in the middle and has been a bell cow. My guess is that we use him up for 2 years, maybe 3 then move on. The contract was written so we could move on at any point.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Thought he offered same pick as Hawks, but it was thought ours would be later in the round.

Both have only won a single SB but Payton's offensive schemes & play calling are much better than McCarthy's. Drew Brees is a good QB but not in the same class as Rodgers. I believe if Payton & Rodgers had been paired together it would have been more than one SB. So does you question imply that McCarthy is just as good a coach as Payton?
This may be so - we'll never know unless we gain access to the multiverse - but I did read recently that Payton wanted a QB who did not "wing it" like say Fields and Russell Wilson, so he probably would've like all of Rodgers's complicated play calling. "If this, then this. If I nod with my LEFT eyebrow, I want the X reciever to go LEFT, not right, and the Y guy to go straight, not out. And if I wiggle my ass twice - not three times, twice - it means the running back needs to stay in and block, and the tight end must release immediately, but not over the middle. Never over the middle."

I think Jacobs is a good player and will be a RB they can leave on the field more than they could Jones. He's better than Dillon, that's for sure.
He had some atrocious OL run blocking. IF he can even approximate his 2022 season, look out. You'll see some bonkers play action throws to Dontayvion Wicks from the defense having to honor the run.
Yes.

Josh Jacobs remembers watching film on Jordan Love before #Packers traveled to Las Vegas in Week 5 last year. Even when GB offense struggled early last season, Jacobs saw Love could be special. The allure of sharing an offense with Love was very strong, Jacobs said.
Here’s why:

Don’t forget payton’s tainted SB was won by Bountygate not battling as a wildcard like M3. Brett was about to take them out in that NFCC if not for all the dirty shots.
Seafucks gave up a 4th and a fish for Lynch. A 3rd and a slice of cheese coulda gotten Lynch to don the Green and Mustard Yellow.
Thompson loved draft picks more than he loved winning. In addition to Lynch, Tony Gonzalez and Moss shoulda had been Packers.

If you haven’t seen it:
I watched that whole entire interview……
Packer reporters asked too many questions - poor JJ handled himself well.
You can tell he’s really young and hoping to make more money than his fucking $12.5 million signing bonus.
I’m hoping he’s super hungry!
Man, he's got some white teeth! Looks like a Hollywood star; his teeth nearly blinded me.

Yeah, you nailed it. That guy impressed. He really has a lot of poise and maturity, sounds like a real pro and a "team guy".
I also found it interesting that he's offseason freinds with Jones.
