Jacobs on the hot seat?

Other than his rookie year with the internal injury that his injuries have been to the point that he was inactive.. Has he had any surgeries in his career or have they all been sprains and strains? He needs to know the difference between being hurt and being injured.

I think this a real dangerous game to play, just because from what I have heard over the last three years Jacobs has some intangibles you don't find in alot of players, work ethic, route running ability, etc. The question is how long do you keep holding on to him? I say give him another year if he is injured this year.

People gave up on Jimmy Smith (2ND RD Pick) big time, take a look at the first 4 years of his career, ZERO CATCHES SEVEN GAMES PLAYED!

Agreed!

Jacob's is a very good special teamer as well, he has a lot going for him but he does have to get healthy, his injuries have been legitamate, he could have died from one, and we all have seen what a strained toe can do to a reciever, I think he should be given whatever time he needs to get that toe 100%, it will only linger and get worse if he doesn't, we have enough depth right now at WR to wait him out.

I keep hearing this. But I don't remember Jacobs standing out on special teams either.

To me, Antonio Brown has the kick/punt returner spot locked up.

If I'm wrong, and Dyson gets it, then someone please hand me an ice pick.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they need to cut him loose now, but they do need to let it be known to him that he needs to start to play thru the pain a little more.. There are people playing with broken bones, sprains and strains need to be worked thru..
