Josh Jacobs

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Thought he offered same pick as Hawks, but it was thought ours would be later in the round.

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.

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.

He's hungry. I've seen everything Jacobs for the past several years living here. We got a football player. Not just a RB, but a guy who wants to win, lives eats and breaths football. He elevates people around him the right way. You just want to play harder seeing a guy like Jacobs who never mails it in. No one does it like Giannis, but Jacobs is in that conversation.

[King Friday]

With Jacobs and our TEs, the red zone is going to be a comfortable place for Love to work. This offense will have an abundance of options in short yardage situations.

Did Tex spike everyone’s drinks?

[KYPack]

Tex tries to indoctrinate em before they get warped by the writers and the godamned media.

[texaspackerbacker]

What's this all about? Optimism? Who did I indoctrinate?

I was referring so many of the optimistic posts as of late. Your never say die attitude is my favorite thing about you.

[texaspackerbacker]

Oh, ok. Honestly, I hadn't noticed. If it's about Love, optimism should be obvious. Ditto that about the receiving corps. Improvement with the new DC? That's pretty obvious too. Free agency? Being optimistic about McKinney and Jacobs shouldn't take much indoctrination hahahaha. Losing Jones and keeping Dillon? Those are kinda 50/50 all the way around.

Its the offseason and WE CAN'T LOSE!!!

My Jacobs optimism is from living in Vegas. I will say that I don't think he is quite as talented as Jones though. But if it means less backups playing the net result is probably better.

The more I see and hear about Jacobs, the more excited I get. We're getting a great player and a great teammate right smack in his prime. I heard a guy who runs a podcast in Vegas just last night, saying that after their final game this year, Jacobs was going around the locker room saying goodbye to some of the local media - telling them he didn't know which way the wind was going to blow, but just in case, he wanted them to know he respected them and appreciated them being straightshooters and professionals. Now, just who does that? I never heard of it before.

It really sounds as though the Raiders handled him badly from the beginning, not making use of him in the passing game except as a dump-off option, making him play in a meaningless game when he was injured, and not picking up his option. And even when he was playing out his last season, he apparently spent a lot of time and effort mentoring his replacement, Zamir White.

Sounds like a real high-character guy, loved by his teammates. Aaron Jones left behind some big shoes to fill, but it sounds like Jacobs is better suited to fill them than any other running back we could have found.

[Fritz]

That was probably a part of the calculation. Not a big part, or else they'd pay me to come in and play running back (I'm a great team guy!), but a part.
