Mazrimiv Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 It really comes down to whether you believe the Jacobs GB is getting will be closer to the 2022 version or 2023. If it's the 2022 version, GB will have no regrets. If it's the 2023 version, at least getting out of the deal won't be a cap killer. It seems like a reasonable risk, but I wouldn't call it a slam dunk win for GB either. Losing Jones does hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The experts will look at the short-sightedness of this and will have a negative opinion. As much as I hate losing AJ, two to three years down the road we may look back and realize how smart of a move Gutey made here. Unless AJ continually gave GB a discount, 2024 was likely to be Aaron Jone's last year in town anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think MLF's schemes and a having QB not named Jimmy G (or whomever else they had taking snaps back there...) will help Jacob's productivity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Paying a 26 year old RB who averaged 3.5 yards a carry 12 million a year makes me want to throw up. Just lighting money on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a shell of himself in an extremely run heavy offense. The McKinney signing was an overpay but atleast he has upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Not crazy about losing Jones, he is dynamic when playing, just don't think he can stay healthy enough to be counted on, maybe Jacobs can, but not excited about his last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Anonymous Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I'm willing to accept the notion that the massive downgrade at QB in Las Vegas last year is responsible for Jacobs bad year. He won't have that issue in Green Bay 3 minutes ago, StatKing said: What a high bar. That would be a significant improvement from the 3.5 you seem to think he has become now. What number would you agree to? Edited March 11 by Mr Anonymous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
