These days, I think lists of top receivers have bigger names than lists of RBs.
Elliott being on that list kind of loses a bunch of credibility though - he’s not even the best back on his own team.
Situational.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
Out of Jacobs career total rushing yards which is 3,087 rushing yards, 1,665 came after contact. That means that more than half of Jacobs yards came after contact, not including the runs where he is making guys miss. Without good run blocking, Jacobs has still produced imo.
Run blocking hasn’t been our forte so it’s a bit of a question mark too.
He does have positives though usually moving forward rather than laterally and sheds tackles on a fairly consistent basis.
Taylor IMO despite some questions marks for this year is still #1.
Raiders need to run by committee, and find that right mix so that they have a consistent running game all season. Z has brought in the horses and Josh just needs to sort it out.
It is far more important that Josh find the right mix, the right group of RBs that can bring a hard nosed aggressive running attack throughout the entire season than it is to have one guy make a top ten list.

Not there. I think some in the list are name guys. Elliott was great but not anymore. He's good. But not great. I would say Jacobs is somewhere around 13-17RunOverByHubbard wrote Sat Jun 18, 2022 7:27 am:Where is Jacobs? Hmmmm…

Seriously, I have not seen a bunch of complaints here, so who are you addressing?mranquales wrote Sat Jun 18, 2022 1:02 pm:Of course Jacobs isn't on there! Be serious.

He's listed as "Honorable Mention" aka he just missed the Top 10 which seems fair.RunOverByHubbard wrote Sat Jun 18, 2022 7:27 am:Where is Jacobs? Hmmmm…

Careful, you're dealing with a guy who's facts are "flexible" when it comes to his favorite running backs.RunOverByHubbard wrote Sun Jun 19, 2022 9:19 am:Seriously, I have not seen a bunch of complaints here, so who are you addressing?

As noted it looks like he just missed the top 10, I think that’s fair. He is what he is decent but not Top 10, Likely somewhere between 11-15 IMO.FLORIDARAYDAH wrote Sun Jun 19, 2022 1:49 pm:I like Jacobs but he isn't a top 10 back. He is a solid back who I think will do fine in a committee. He wasn't worth the money his option would have paid him. Hopefully he stays healthy and we can keep him if the price is right
