[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 477270, member: 6211"] IMO, Jacobs has a tendency to play a bit "soft" for his physique so I'm not excited about the prospect of picking him up. We already know the game plan for the Giants and the Niners: beat the **** out of us physically. But the numerous comments above labeling Jacobs a "headcase" are obnoxious because (a) the knee-jerk, "he's a headcase" antagonism toward many players is often based on little more than rumor and innuendo, (b) nobody above has ever met Jacobs, much less knows how he would affect the Green Bay locker room, and (c) the same thing could have been said about Cedric Benson heading into this season (and no revisionist explanation can overcome the reality that he had a "reputation" at the point he came to Green Bay). I believe we brought in Andre Rison prior to our title in '96 despite his "reputation" as well and that turned out alright. The lights of the media are very bright in the New York market and Jacobs has certainly shown some flaws under their glare. Of course it doesn't make sense to try to accumulate troublesome personalities in the locker room. But dismissing any and all players that aren't completely vanilla discounts this team's leaders and their ability to maintain a winning culture as well as the reality that some people learn from their mistakes and mature with time. Again, I'm not advocating for Jacobs. I guess I'm just criticizing a mindset. [/QUOTE]
