Hey BJ – ever think that the Niners considered NYG to be one of the biggest threats to the 2012 season and decided to pay you a salary to ride their pine instead of be choice 2 or 3 with NYG – knowing that Bradshaw gets shelfed with injuries this time of year like it’s pre-printed on the calendar? Come on, you REALLY thought you were going to come in and conquer the backfield – HA! I had so much hope for you wih the G-Men, but you didn’t know how to get low and run downhill most of the time. So if/when the two teams meet in the post you might just be watching it from your couch instead of dressed in Giant blue trying to run over people. Sad.

Its hard to fault him 100% – but why did he come to SF when they had Gore?? If he wanted playing time then picking another team who needed a RB would have been wise.

Blame your agent a bit.

how about you be mad at yourself for not earning your playing time? or the fact that no other contender wanted you including the giants? you got hurt and maybe thats why you dont get playing time…. its apart of the game you big softy…you got a christian okoye body but reggie bush runs harder between the tackles than you. hell kendall hunters better between the tackles on the bad ankle… jacobs sucks they should cut him and prepare lamichael james to play.

Don’t know why people fault him for feeling that way and how he expresses it.

He’s a football PLAYer, not a speech writer.

Jacob’s style is to put his head down and bawl over tacklers as oppose to trying to avoid hits usually is a recipe for a short NFL career. Jacobs should be happy because his not playing should extends his career. Opening his mouth and sprouting foolish statements as he has done for years may also shorten his career.

Brandon
We still love you in the house of Champions

Hamburger signed you to get the insite on the team that beat him and won it all.

I remember a younger Brandon who would send D players to the side lines

You will always be a Giant Brandon and you will also have what no one under the age of 50 has
Two Super Bowl Rings

Brandon is a Giant,in his heart and I hope they bring him back,he was the mustard to a hamburger and brought toughness to the running game.

don’t know what coaches see. looked good in preseason. need some relief for Gore or kiss playoff run goodbye. hope LMJ is the answer

Once again the Giants and Jerry Reese prove to know exactly when to let a player walk. How’s Manningham working out for that money? Instead of just staying with a championship team in a defined role, these guys went for the dollars. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but sometimes it’s better to stay somewhere and build on success.

This sheds a bit of light on Baalke’s comments on Lamichael James. Jacobs, come to terms with the fact that you are GORE insurance, not Hunter insurance. Gore is healthy, you are not playing. Period.

I don’t feel sorry for Jacobs…at all…cut him!

I’ll take him back on the Giants. The guy is all heart and intensity. Plus he’ll be useful in NY.

I think we all understand his frustration but that’s no excuse to make it public. If he ever wants another shot, this isn’t helping.

Who cares. He’s the sixth best rb on the team. I’d rather see what dixon and james could do

I mean, I’m sure it is hard, as a RB you only have so many good years. A wasted year is a big deal. It’s what? at least one tenth of your career pretty much? Even if he is earning money….he’s right, it is good to see it’s about more than just being on a roster for him.

Jacobs stopped being good a few seasons ago. Problem started when Bradshaw went down and they started using Jacobs on Bradshaw type runs (sweeps and what not). Seems Brandon got it in his head he was a bigger version of Bradshaw. He’s not. He is a north/south runner who needs a few steps to get going.
But hey, he went to the money and deserves what he has gotten.

He would be 3rd string on the worst teams this year. Chiefs have Charles and Hillis, Jags have a couple studs. Even the Brownies wouldn’t need or want his services. I hope this is a scheme to make teams think they are divided. Otherwise, use the cry baby or deactivate him for the season. Put him on ir and give Glenn Coffee a call.

I understand the criticism of his remarks/attitude, of course. However, if he weren’t complaining about not playing, then I’m sure a lot of people would be complaining about how he’s lazy and just wants to get paid $1.5 million to sit and collect his check. he gets paid like a guy who should be contributing. Some UDFA rookie could have his seat on the bench for 1/4 the price.

Wasnt he hurt most of the year? This guy is a rotten joke. He should be happy the team is winning. TEAM. Selfish sack of crap.
They should cut him the day before the super bowl, if they make it.

The Giants punter had more to do with winning the Super Bowls than Jacobs did.

Sounds to me like this team is a circus. Guess winning solves that label.

Jacobs is one of those clowns who just can’t help himself. He has to yap, especially when he’s pissed off. He always comes off as the total idiot that he is.

Guy’s a football player who wants to play football. You show me a running back who doesn’t want to run the ball. I’d be frustrated too, so would all of you.

He knows the difference between a great franchise, and the 49ers.

Come home Brandon.

When he finally got into a game he managed 6 yards on 4 carries. Total shock he isn’t playing more.

He should be cursing out his agent. He is the idiot that signed with a team with 5million runningbacks. When he signed with them it never made sense to me. What an idiot!!
