That's why we're here debating, isn't it? Both sides have some very valid points (of which Jacobs draft position is amongst the least relevant, IMO. I could post a list of some pretty good NFL RBs who were drafted in the 4th round or later and who made big impacts almost immediately in their careers).The only way we'll know for sure is to see it play out. Look at CuMar - the guy is just a machine - he keeps churning out these huge touch seasons. I expected him to run out of steam about 2 seasons ago & have avoided him religiously in drafts for just this reason (and he had Lamont Jordan as his backup - I don't know what that says about Jordan) - much to my regret last season.Good debate on both sides, though.This may well be the plan going in, but what I am saying is that Jacobs still has a lot to prove on this level before he will warrant this kind of workload. It may happen, it may not, but I am more comfortable projecting Tiki to get 330 touches and most of the goal line work than I am projecting Jacobs to get 120 touches and most of the goal line work.
