A nice article about Jacobs in the Athletic today.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

" And besides, I never wanted to be the guy that joined the dominant team. I want to be the guy that beats the dominant team.”
I like the underdog mentality. I've been a Jacobs fan all along. I miss Jones, but I understand it was time.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

It's been a strange offseason/preseason. Packers sign two top free agents in Jacobs and McKinney and what most people are talking about is the kicker and backup quarterback.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

Jacobs probably is a lateral move quality-wise and hopefully a major long term plus.
The way I see it, this Packer team had very very few if any weaknesses, mediocre kicking being about the only one, and there's a strong chance they fixed that big time. Back up QB is irrelevant UNLESS ....... We should be better there too, but probably not enough to deal with that UNLESS. I'm thinking the main difference Willis makes is a few trick plays and wildcat stuff.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

I liked the part just before that quote, regarding the Chiefs pursuing him in free agency:Originally posted by bobblehead View Post" And besides, I never wanted to be the guy that joined the dominant team. I want to be the guy that beats the dominant team.”

“They were trying to get me hard,” he said. “But there was no way I was going there. I feel like once you are rivals with somebody, you have a genuine hate for them. I couldn’t see myself in that color."
Hear that, Aaron Jones?
You really do look wrong in purple!!
Maybe we won't see Jacobs on the Vikings, Bears or Lions as we have so many others.

Both would have been incredible. Jacobs is a 1/2 ton pickup and Jones is a sports car....ah the possibilities.Originally posted by Fritz View PostI was really, really bummed that the Packers didn't retain Aaron Jones. He's a great guy and a dynamic back.
But I'm warming to the new guy.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

That's why I'm intrigued by a Willis QB package. Teams get used to Jacobs' speed, and then Willis has an extra gear-and-a-half that they're not ready to cover. Once teams start closing in on the box, Malik has some mid-deep route combination drawn up (with a TE seam or something).Originally posted by bobblehead View PostBoth would have been incredible.
