I'm sorry guys, but conventional thinking in the NFL doesn't have teams cutting former 2nd round picks after just two seasons because they've had some bad luck with injuries.

Jacobs has all the talent to be a very good WR. He's more talented than McCants and he's been praised for his work ethic, something that McCants will probably never receive praise for.

I guess work ethic is overrated with some people. Maybe that kind of player cut it under former coaching staffs, but not with this one. I'm putting my trust in this staff who sees these players up close and personal and knows a heck of alot more about these guys than we do.

If Jacobs is still in the same boat at this time next year, then it's time to start looking to cut the cord. But after two seasons? Definitely not.
