MaximusGluteus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 2 minutes ago, Mazrimiv said: If Dillon had any vision or balance, he'd be getting paid by GB rather than Jacobs. If Jacobs can stay healthy and see the holes, he's going to pile up a ton of yards for GB. Having the turning radius and acceleration of an aircraft carrier didn't help Dillon, either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'll bet that when we see the numbers for Jones and Jacobs, they will be very similar. I'm going to dig it, even though I didn't even consider Jacobs to GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this works out the way they expect, it takes our offense to a new level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfgeist Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Mentally I'm going to view it as Jonathan Taylor vs Jacobs and our 2nd round pick. That way no matter what we paid Jacobs it will feel like more of a bargain. -Taylor would have been amazing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Jacobs averaged 3.5 ypc last year. Are we sure he's actually going to be all that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows, we have to wait and see numbers. I thought Saquon was the high water mark for RB's in this market. If I assume that Saquon was a 10-12M/year player, and we end up getting Jacobs for 7-8M/year, I'd say we got excellent value. So, like most deals, the devil will be in the details. And the details on this one concern both Jones and Saquon. My sizeable gut is telling me I'm going to like this more as those numbers roll in.

We have 3 things that they did not. A competent offensive line. A quarterback. Multiple offensive skill players.

I don’t think you lead the league in rushing by accident. But you do need a better team than the dumpster fire in Las Vegas, specifically last year, that was so bad they got their HC fired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his 5 seasons he has had two with 4.8 and 4.9 ypc averages on heavy volume - far from anything in Dillon's resume. Obviously the ypc in those years is exceptional but the heavy volume is the area of concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the ypc in those years is exceptional but the heavy volume is the area of concern. Splitting the load between Jacobs/Jones only helps both of them. Unlike with AJD, the offense should have no clear limitations with either of them on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Running back market changes when we win the Super Bowl this year. Teams are going to be pissed they undervalued the market as they watch the Packers run their way to the Lombardi. Will never understand how that market got so cold. As often as Mahomes had a clutch play, Pachecho (sp) had a huge play leading up to it. The Chiefs don’t win either of their last two Super Bowls without him or their first without that one RB they had who had a monster game. And yes I remember his fumble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market got cold in no small part because KC is doing it with a RD7 RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
