They will run his tires off this year and then let him and drake(if not cut) hit the open market and get a 3rd comp pick.AndrewDean » Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:20 am
Only way he is traded is if another teams RB goes down and are offering the Raiders the farm for him. Other than that, I just don’t see it happening. It’s not on this teams radar.raiders93 » Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:24 am
This. Jacobs has 3 years of tape - how are 2 drives against backups necessary to trade the guy if that’s our plan? If anything I’d think if the plan was to trade him he wouldn’t have played since even a minor injury basically kills his trade value.massraider wrote Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:02 am:Some fantasy football dweeb speculating on Twitter doesn't make for a rumor.
Also, you don't "showcase" players for trade who have 1,000 yard seasons.
Let's use a little critical thinking.

All this!Attyla wrote Mon Aug 08, 2022 6:45 am:But your logic is flawed. If he can rush for 1K yards with another team, he can do so with the Raiders since McDaniels system is one where the RB is utilized quite a bit. Platooning only works if the other RBs can contribute significantly and we have zero evidence we have those horses. We know Josh can do so.
So his worht to the Raiders would, in fact, be more since we know the system needs a RB who can produce and Josh also has worked with his teammates for 3 plus years now which breeds trust. So he is not worth less, his value is significantly higher to keep on the cheap.

Ivanavich, you wrote above: "I don't need to discuss the morals and ethics of his behavior." But in the same paragraph you wrote:
"But now, he has many kids... He's not really a role model for teammates."
Now is this paradoxical or inconsistent or disingenuous?

Nope. Not getting traded and will have a good season.....RunOverByHubbard » Mon Aug 08, 2022 11:55 am
I don't think you are in the minority. Makes more sense, financially and role-wise, to keep him. And, Drake's recovery from his ACL surgery is still in doubt.Fade2SilverAndBlack wrote Mon Aug 08, 2022 11:38 am:Nope. Not getting traded and will have a good season.....
I might be in the minority. I wouldn't trade him this season for a 3 now. I want all the weapons the Raiders can have this season. The time is now to Win....

McDaniels says "No plans to trade Jacobs"raiders93 » Mon Aug 08, 2022 12:01 pm
IMO everyone is sleeping on him big time. If he can stay relatively healthy I’m betting he has a career year.Fade2SilverAndBlack wrote Mon Aug 08, 2022 11:38 am:Nope. Not getting traded and will have a good season.....

I can see it. The system that McDaniels employs really is designed to create mismatches hence we saw the screens the other night. Getting the speedy Jacobs into space is a perfect component of this offense. If Jacobs stays healthy he will be a nightmare for LBs on those kinds of plays and those throws to the flat. It boils down to his health and the line's ability to run block which we have seen has been the bright side of the unit. It is why platooning is such a big part of McDaniel's in the past. We need to win the time of possession and Jacobs alone will not be able to do that.raiders93 wrote Mon Aug 08, 2022 12:01 pm:IMO everyone is sleeping on him big time.
