The Taylor Jacobs watch

Yeah, lost in all this WR discussion is David Patten. Gibbs has been raving about the guy all offseason. His attitude, his work ethic, and his performance in camp. He's a 100% lock to make the team (cap is not a concern, JoeCrisp, the team is under the cap and there aren't any decent players left available on the market).

And there's no way in hell Gibbs will keep six WRs. These are things we should know just from paying close attention to the team. Gibbs never keeps 6 WRs, and he loves David Patten - remember, Gibbs signed Patten and traded for Thrash, he inherited Jacobs.

With those things in mind, it comes down to Thrash vs Jacobs for 5th WR. So I don't see how anyone can put the odds at better than 50/50, and 50/50 would be ignoring the fact that Thrash is way better on special teams. Jacobs has no realistic shot, IMO.

I don't know why the hell he's been wasting a roster spot for as long as he has. Let the guy go already... its not like he's going to ever come out of his shell and become a productive wideout... and who cares what he does in practice from time to time... hes never done anything at all when it counts...

I have him with 0 chances on our roster... he'll get signed by the cowboys so they can pick his brain about our offense before they play us... just like barrow last year...

yeah, we see how well that worked out. jacobs is finished here.

Would it be financially smart to keep Jacobs on the practice squad? I mean at this point we would already have to absorb his contract for this season and this would leave us with a guy who knows the offense and players on our team better than any free agent wideout. I know we are starting out with more quality depth at WR than last year but it wouldn’t hurt to be able to pull Jacobs off the practice squad to fill in for WR or ST duty barring an injury.

There's no way That Guy is going to respond to this post.

Now that I've said that it shouldn't be a big deal

I think we need a running banner at the top of the page to avoid any confusion. Othewise, TG is going to go nuts.
