For a second round pick, TJ has been a huge disapointment. The only reason he has not been cut is because we invested a high pick on him and they are hoping he will pan out. I do not see him becoming a great player.
If we pick up another good receiver or two next year, he will be the first to go.

Regarding TJ being great in practice: anyone that has ever played organized football at a high level knows that there is a huge difference in speed, intensity, hitting, and over all pressure between practice and real games. There have been a ton of players that were great in practice but never translated it into the real games. Maybe he can not handle the pressure.
There is a reason why Spurrier/ Gibbs and their staffs have not made Jacobs a feature WR, because they had doubts about his ability.
His health is no longer an excuse, he has been healthy and active for 38 games and started 7.
The guy needs to keep his mouth shut and lead by example.
