Josh Jacobs Faces Allegation; What is the NFL Fallout?

Now let's go to the unfortunate news of the day. In case you missed it, the last 24 hours have not been good for running back Josh Jacobs of the Green Bay Packers, who did return to play last week in the NFL. And, you know, he has not played well, but as Joe said, he's been on the fortunate end of some touchdowns and catching some balls. But now he's on the unfortunate end of some reporting that, according to some of the reporters who cover the National Football League, the NFL was not made aware of some incidents that potentially happened in previous years. You know, certainly there is now 10 days for the NFL once again to figure this out, whether Jacobs will play or not. To me, the whole thing kind of stinks, Joe, that we have to focus on. And it's really more for fantasy than it is for anything else, because I don't think Jacobs makes or breaks the Packers. Clearly, they're better with him than they are without him. But it seemingly is going to be hard to ignore these stories, even though they're just allegations at this point. It's seemingly going to be very hard, I think, for the NFL to just brush this under the rug for the next seven weeks. I feel like at some point something else is going to happen and maybe some resolution comes. I don't want to sound like a broken record, so I've already said all I have to say about this. And look, my stance is he has more theoretical value than actual value. But let's talk about why for a second here. Just go back to Thursday night's game. Josh Jacobs, 21 carries, 39 yards. Volume might be king, but 1.9 yards per carry is not going to help. He did have a rushing touchdown. That kind of saved his day. What about the passing game for Josh Jacobs? Six receptions for 13 yards. 13 yards also had a receiving touchdown. So two touchdowns in that game really saved him. I want to come back to that moment of discussion of the Green Bay Packers offensive line is not good the one that he's running behind is is not great yes he is the best of that group in terms of talent he also is a guy that did not have the the proper runway to the season we've seen that come back to bite us with injuries before and things like that like how healthy has he been in terms of his work on the side while he's been suspended there's so many questions here Right. And to me, there's just not enough answers. I would much rather have something I feel good about every single week. I think these two touchdowns were a bit of an illusion and a bit of a mirage. You can't chase every single week necessarily. And eventually when he has one of these games that look like that without the touchdowns, you're going to be wishing you did unload.
