agarcia34 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Dudes a stud. I was a huge Jacobs supporter during the draft process. I was confident he was gonna be good. He’s been even better then I thought. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was super high on the guy too but he's producing quicker than I thought he would. The ONLY thing he lacks is elite speed, but he can certainly get by for many many years without it due to his immense vision and break tackling ability. Hope he continues crushing it and wins OROY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 probably my favorite Raider right now, he handles his biz week and week out. Everything you look for in an elite back minus the breakaway speed. I love the way he finishes runs. Also, its so refreshing to watch a runner find holes and not ram himself into the backs of our OL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfrey13 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I wanted to wait and try to take him later but I have to admit after what I have seen so far they could have taken him #4 and Ferrell with the 24th and I would be saying it is worth it. RBs are not highly valued today but he is a stud. Hope he keeps it up. Crow is only a side dish on this one. I am also happy that we finally have a RB that kind find a hole and is under 30 years old.

BackinBlack Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Honestly the only thing JJ doesn’t have is that elite speed, but he is still fast enough. obviously it’s negative, but the one plus is RBs who don’t rely on their speed tend to have longer careers. hopefully this guy is a Raider for a long long time. He is such a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he didn't have "special enough traits" to be a first round pick, etc. And 'Bama backs always bust. Are never as good in the pros, etc. Jacobs contact balance and vision were elite traits at 'Bama. They've translated. I love Kamara and he was so similar and it's no surprise to see him mentioned atop the list of yard after contact with AK. Heres the crazy thing... he's not even scratched the surface. His hands are amazing and Gruden hasn't even leaned on him as a pass catcher yet... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass catcher think grinds my gears on a personal note I keep betting Jacobs Catch/yard props thinking he will be featured 👎🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll start utilizing him a bit more as the season goes on. Dude should be getting 5 targets a game no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver&Black88 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 He might be able to notch OROY depending on Murray. Well, 2nd place at least. Everyone knows its Ben Simmons' award to lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
