I think the Giants can improve over Jacobs easily and cheaply, he’s more drama than production at this point.

I wouldn’t mind having him back; ONLY if we can’t get Marshawn Lynch.

The Giants should go get Michael Bush this off-season if they can.

That would be a great move for them, if they intend to replace Jacobs. Bush is a very good pass catcher out of the backfield and gets the tough yards.

Just don’t expect him to break a 60 yard run for a touchdown. But he’s as solid as it gets as a #2.

If he were a #1, than he’d have to drop like 15-25lbs. He was obviously getting gassed as the full time carrier after Mcfadden went down.

Keep a running back that falls over when touched by a defensive back ?!?!?

I have seen too many runs with Jacobs running laterally and a small DB easily bring him down… usually the first guy to touch him brings him down. I’m not going to say its heart, as running back is a punishing position- but the lateral running for a big guy with poor speed makes me think he is not aware of his own decline.

He’s so done being a Giant. Say goodbye Brandon, don’t let the door hit you in the rear on your way out! Good riddance.

Come back up Blount on my Sh$t team, i am sure the cheap Glaziers would sign you to a 5 year $3200 contract.

For him to be 265 lbs he sure runs soft more often than not.

I don’t care what stats anyone gives me regarding Jacobs’ 4th and short success rate. For all I care, I’d gladly accept him to fail on every single one if it meant that he’d convert a single one in a SB to extend a game winning drive. Oh wait, that’s exactly what he did in 07′.

Yeah…he could keep on failing and he’ll still have an eternal place in this Giants’ fan heart for that MONSTROUS conversion.

“I was just talking to someone and they said, ‘The Giants haven’t been able to get a third-and-1 in a long time.’ So this will stop finally because I will *not* be denied one yard.” – Brandon Jacobs, April 23, 2005

If you’d been able to back up that boast more than 50% of the time, I’d think you’d be more likely to stay.

Jacobs is worth a roster spot, if anything, for the intangibles he brings to the Giants. Like in Austin Powers, he’s the bad-a@@ mojo in the Giants’ syringe. Dawkins was the same thing to the Eagles. His skills were diminished but he elevated everyone else’s play around him. That’s an important ingredient to have on a championship team and THE reason why he will return next year. You Dr. Evil haters hoping the Giants release (no pun intended) him so that you can steal the mojo can forget it. The big man is all ours!

There are cheaper and better options out there. He tries to be an outside edge back instead of a power up the middle guy and that doesnt work out well due to the fact that he is slow. If I needed 2 yards up the middle I’d go with Bradshaw. Hes faster and somehow harder to take down. I’d say thats desire. This dude doesnt play well in the team setting. He is a candidate for the “All-Time ME squad”. Its a shame.

Brenda gets stopped on every 3rd and 4th and short.
With Ware and Bradshaw no reason to waste any money on Jacobs.

I say doubtful at this point. They’ll be looking to get younger at RB next year

As Ahnold once said, “He’ll be baaaack”. Their no. 1 RB Bradshaw is not making much and Jacobs will not solicit a big offer from another team. He loves playing in NY with his BFF and something will get done. Figure 2 years and 6.275 M should do it.

I would actually keep him as a third option/third down/short yardage back..he peaked in 2007…Giants probably need to take a running back in the 2nd or 3rd round.
