He is tough and plays through it but you hardly ever get top end Jacobs for more than a 2-3 game stretch. Was just about to say this myself. I wouldn't even classify him as "injury prone" in the conventional sense, rather he's just not proven to be very durable through seasons. A RB that plays a full 43/49 games healthy and as a bell cow is still going to likely be more effective than a guy who plays about half of all 49 games while constantly banged up. Jacobs might not be injured enough to place on IR or miss a significant number of games, but he's still perennially dinged up and missing chunks of games he's active for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I heard this story last year… I wonder if both are connected or if they’re isolated incidents I don't care really. Executives aren't on the field playing.

That would be a truly riveting scenario for discussion, wouldn't it? "We all thought it was Bill and Tom.

I dunno. Other than Brady, who have the Patriots ever drafted that the rest of the league says "That guys the best at his position". I Honestly can't remember anyone. Seems to me they mostly draft players who fit their schemes but are mediocre once they leave. Correct me if I'm wrong though, my memory is failing me on their draft picks that were considered home runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when you constantly picking 30th-32nd can't really get any blue chippers. Lastly their most recent high pick was Mac Jones also Christian Barmore. And Kyle Dugger in 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at their track record in the 1st and 2nd round the past 10 years it is very suspect. What they do excel at is finding useful UDFA’s and players off the scrap heap. I’m skeptical about our ability to draft well moving forward but am bullish on the ability of our coaching staff to win the X’s and O’s and mid-game adjustment battles.

BayRaider Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I’m starting to think Mark Davis is a total 100% moron, and not as good of a person the Raider fan base claims he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I only care about what Ziegler did his time there not 10 years ago also McDaniel seems like the gloves are off the Patriots would have never made a trade for Adams with Belichik in charge.

No where close to the first executive to resign or get fired in under a year, which is far from normal. Most of these jobs are kept for a longggg time and do not change upon new GM, HC, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but my comment was mainly referring to them bringing in multiple people from the Patriots organization to head up college personnel scouting.

I think that McDaniels will help Jacobs stay healthy this season because he has shown that he loves to go with a RB by committee approach. I'd expect to see Jacobs, Drake, Bolden, and White all getting carries throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
