Brandon Jacobs Playing For Rex Ryan? Nah!

And he is nearly incapable of picking up a 3rd & 1 or 4th & 1. I say move on without him.

I want this dude back!!

stunk running the ball. Jacobs seemed like he ran hard most of the time and he is such a unique back that cutting him shouldn’t be taken lightly. I think behind a revamped line, he is certainly worth another year – at reduced pay, obviously. My only concern is the opportunity cost of keeping him at the expense of developing a young guy like Da’Rel or I Got a Ring.

Quite a bit in keeping Easy E upright. BJ knows how to chip and pick up a blitzer in fact he is quite good at it.

I am for sticking with the devil I know.

The first thing is that Jacobs hasn’t gotten beaten up in the last 2 seasons. His carries were limited. He’s not done. Keep him at a reduced salary.

The second thing is that Jacobs’ psyche is fragile. I’ve said it for years that if you want to get the best out of him, then you have to use him early in games and make him feel apart of the offense. You can’t leave him on the bench for long stretches and expect him to come out firing. It won’t happen. I know he should be able to take advantage of every opportunity but he doesn’t. Coughlin and Gilbride should know how to deal with him by now.

He is ready to take ANOTHER pay cut to stay with the team. He truly beleives that they have a good core of player that should be kept together if at all possible, and I agree. Next year will be very different due to the fact that the lockout really caused some issues with hurried training camps and the such. BJ has a couple of more years, maybe not a a #1 back but certainly as a #2. His knee was a minor issue as well, but otherwise he is relatively healthy.

I ask because once the TV money gets factored in, the 2013 salary cap is going to shoot up. That’s also when teams will have to use most of their salary and can’t sit on the money. My point is that a team wants to be a little over the cap in 2012 to win it all, they should do so, knowing that they’ll be under the 2013.

Neither is capable of being a starting RB for a full season, yet they compliment each other so well that the Giants should do what they can in terms of contract restructuring to keep them both together.
Oh, and let Ware go…save that space for Scott and Brown to get some touches!

Brandon Jacobs goes, and I shed a tear. I’m totally pro-Jacobs. I love his attitude and fire. I think he’s a leader and helps conduct the electricity in this team.

2012 sees Ware step into the role vacated by BJs departure, and Scott moves up to the 3rd back.

The team is just too close to the cap.

But please, Brandon, go to a team in the AFC East — so we don’t have to play against you until 2015.

Re work some of a few OLmen’s contracts…there are 2 or 3 who don’t dserve to be making that kind of money for the crappy football they’d play. You know who I am talking about.

Gott get some better blcoking and stop benching him everytime he gets hot!.

BJ is not the problem, and you would be hard pressed to find a better back in pass protection.

Some others need to take a pay cut before he does.

With Paycut = Yes
No Paycut = No

He’s taken paycuts in the past, and I think he’ll take another one. If not, oh well.

The G-men are fine at RB either way…..Ware missed a block in the SB, but he knows the offense and is solid. Scott will break out soon with this coaching staff. Bradshaw will play til he can’t walk. Jacobs knows he isn’t getting 5 mil anywhere but the WWE.

In Reese we trust!

and making it very incentive heavy. There is a big difference between a motivated Jacobs and a complacent Jacobs.

I like the physicality Jacobs brings to the game. Whenever I see Jacobs run out of the tunnel fired up and jumping around I know it’s going to be a good game. I think when Jacobs hits the hole hard and lays a big lick on a defender it fires up the whole team. I don’t think Reese can find another RB to replace the physicality and emotion BJ brings to the game.

That being said $5mil. is too big of a cap hit for Jacobs and if his deal can’t be reworked I think Jacobs’ production can be replaced, just not his intangibles.

he’s 6-5 350…sounds like a monster. Can you imagine him and canty side by side? If the opposing team decides to just throw short passes to avoid the rush, it’s gonna be tough getting it pass those arms.

I like a lot would be in favor of keeping Jacobs at the right price. If Jr does not get the O-line fixed it won’t matter who we have at RB.

Both need to go. They have been good for the Giants, and I like both of them. Neither guy is a well rounded back at this point in their career. They each have their good games, but there is not enough of those good games.

It is time to move on to to younger, healthier, and cheaper guys. Give Scott and Brown a chance. Draft somebody in the 3rd or 4th round. Sign a veteran RB for 1 mil or so to come to camp and compete for a chance.

to see if we can work out a trade.

He brings more than takes away from the team. His a fiery competitor and puts fear in defenses. I would like for us to go back to that 3 headed attack so BJ doesn’t get worn down and we use him for speciality plays.

Judging the fair market value of a running back like Jacobs would be key.

Most here agree that he is a good if not great number 2 change of pace RB. What is the going price for a player like this. Are their teams willing to pay over $4 Mil for a guy like that? if so Jacobs may choose to test the waters. If the market dictates that he could only get $3 Mil or somewhere in that neighborhood, my thought is he would wanna stay with a proven winner like the team he currently plays for at that reduced rate.

he is the a record holder, and 2 time champion with the Giants. Add lifer to that tag line as well as the chance to continue winning, and his legacy may be worth more than the slight increase in pay he would receive going elsewhere.

How much money does he need? I’m not saying he is not worth his salary but if I was him and wanted to keep this team together an possible add more I’d totally cut my salary for it. In all seriousness. He grew up being the son of a NFL QB. Peyton is rich, he’s rich…the family is not hurting for money. Take a cut and win some more championships. I KNOW…easy for me to say but Eli is not the type of guy to burn through 100 million in a lifetime. He’ll never spend all the money.

He should know that offense too, right? What could we get for him, besides lots of cap space?

2.2 million. Thats it.

He’s the man and the epitome of smash mouth football.

But we don’t play smash mouth football anymore. His skill set doesn’t fit our strengths anymore. we’re a pass first team partly by necessity but also because Eli and our receivers are so good.
If he takes a pay cut, I’d love for him to be back. If not, well I’ll be sad but that’s why i’m not the GM.

The best thing for jacob’s career would be to go to a team with a decent run blocking O-line. I’d shudder to think what he could do in the Texan’s offense

Does it make me an asshole if I go over to Giants.com and blast anyone making “Comedy Thread” worthy comments?

I hope so…

All we ever hear about is money. When are we going to see a contract that some pay is in a lifetime supply of “All In” towels? Or…free haircuts for life? Maybe, you can eat at the facility forever?

Things can be done.

Does anyone know where I can listen to a NE broadcast of SB46? sorry, but patriot fans tears are delicious. And I’d really love to listen to the broadcasters talk as if their team is going to win.

LINSANITY continues!

GOODBYE!!!!!!
