HokieSkinsFan Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 There was a rumor that during the last game of the season during the Eagles, or the wild card game against the Bucs that he came to the sidelines and said, "Take me out. I think I've got a concussion." :laugh: No offense to anyone who's had a concussion. I just thought that was funny (we know how Taylor is).

Tarhog Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I really love reading the 16-22 year olds on this board blasting a pro player who doesn't meet their expectations. Ya know lots of guys don't make it in the pros, for lots of reasons. Most players never even get that far, and most wannbes never do anything of note. I don't know what Jacobs will do in the future. Maybe he will be a total bust, or maybe not. But, yes I am a life-long Gator fan; I followed him in college and belive me he was the real deal and might fool some fools yet. Taylor was, and for the time being still is, a Redskin. I hate to see Redskins disrespected on this board. But, there is this to consider; whatever the future holds for Taylor, he is guaranteed to have a healthier bank account than most of you guys can ever dream of. So how is that for a little hindsight humor? :notworthy That is exactly right. And I'd also add, he's one of the nicest, most humble guys I met last year. That may not count for much for some, but to be an NFL player and retain your humility in the face of the kind of attention you get, its no little thing. I hate that he hasn't panned out. After meeting and getting the chance to talk to him, I was pulling for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 We aren't comparing Jacobs to ourselves, we are comparing him to other NFL players...You should not use your biased love affair for Jacobs when we are trying to evaluate him here. :doh: :doh: to you. His point obviously went straight over your head. You can acknowledge that someone's been a disappointment on the playing field, AND give them props for being an unselfish, high quality individual.

scruffylookin Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I can't say anything. I was a big Taylor Jacobs backer a year ago at this time. I even had him in my sig for a while. :doh: I really thought this guy was going to do something and all he needed was a chance. Well, he got his chance this past season and was a huge disappointment.

Riggo-toni Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hes 20, freakin, 4. If you write off a player at 24, you are just stupid, plain and simple. He's a Florida freaking Gator. If you draft a wide receiver from Florida, you are just stupid, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hes 20, freakin, 4. If you write off a player at 24, you are just stupid, plain and simple. I'm writing him off. Unless he has a drug or alcohol problem that no one knows about (a la Cris Carter), he is never going to be more than he is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After meeting and getting the chance to talk to him, I was pulling for him. Humble doesn't begin to describe him when he was being asked what he was being by the toolbag asking him. That said alot about him. I remember we were both pulling for him to do something in that NY game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is unselfish, high quality person (who I will never meet in my life) who should be shipped to first team willing to trade some new pylons for him.

Then again, I wasn't talking to you No question, he's been a huge disappointment - I'm willing to even apply the term 'total bust' to him. Still a nice guy.

WELCOME MY BROTHER! and I agree, he was one of the better WRs that went through UF during the Spurrier Era. I look at Jacobs this way...with the new signings, Jacobs has fallen to 5th on the depth chart, and I defy you to find a 5th WR in the league that has more upside than Taylor Jacobs.

Fergasun Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Look guys. Nowhere in this thread did we disparage Jacobs for anything other than his on-field production. No one called him a punk or selfish. As fans we're all disappointed and everyone had huge hope for him. If anything this thread is a reminder there is no such thing as a "can't miss" prospect. I really like Taylor Jacobs, and I hope he can contribute... I'm also happy he is low on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
