Comments on: Brandon Jacobs: Difference in staying with Giants was small http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/12/brandon-jacobs-difference-in-staying-with-giants-was-small/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 26 May 2013 04:24:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: bosspower http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/12/brandon-jacobs-difference-in-staying-with-giants-was-small/#comment-1878443 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 15:20:37 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1038081#comment-1878443 The Giants scout team was well aware of the draft class of Running Backs coming out this yr. They knew that Lowballing Jacobs would force him to leave and they were free to draft a Stud RB in 1st RD. Osi is on the chopping block next season as the Giants already kno DE’s are coming out high on the draft boards next YR and OSi is gone. Reese is not keeping guys around past their primes. He’s contending and Rebuilding at the same time. Cant wait for the Giants-49ers game, I want Moss complaining and quitting on team after that L. SF-NY Championship game on East coast this YR.

That is a pretty big pay cut percentage wise. From 4.4 mil with 500k bonus to $2 mil? Does he think he has a better chance to play in SF? Did he even think about this? I doubt he makes the roster in the end.

Because it sounds like he talked himself out of 2-million dollars.

you think he cant wait until the giants & 9ERS meet this season, his knowledge of the giants plan of attack in last years 2meetings & his knowledge of OC kevin gilbrides offensive playbook, sets, & personnel packages should help when the 9ERS see the giants this season!! payback is on his mind, every 9ER fan, and most importantly that 49ER locker room!!

Why would you think the playbook would be the same and even if it were do you think BJ is smart enough to remember it?

Payback for what? Out playing you when it really mattered?

We have Eli and you have Alex
Enough said

The giants were not going to pay him the 4.4 million. They offered him a few hundred thousand less than the niners and he took the highest offer. It seems to me he was disappointed that for a few hundred thousand, the team he spent six seasons and won two superbowls with let him walk.

Great negotiating there, Brandon.

Still, I’m glad my Niners were able to pick him up.

Yes Jacobs thank you for being a 260lb marshmallow. Thank you for being such a mediocre RB and the best highlight of your career is when you trucked LaRon let me celebrate after every big hit that i make, even if my team is losing 45-0 Landry. So yes thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were a couple memorable trucks of some Eagles defenders that were somewhat memorable. But the one thing that sticks out in my mind were his words when he was drafted, “I will not be denied 1 yard in the NFL” (or something along those lines)… I am just as excited to see him go as I was to see him drated. Thank you BJ, and best of luck to you…….

All he’s done the past 2 years is complain and threaten to leave the Giants. Now that he got the boot from the SB Champs and for about $2 mil less, he “didn’t want to leave the Giants”. I used to be a fan of this guy but his attitude stinks. And don’t bring up that thing with the kid, that was all PR.

He should be very happy he has a job.
