I'm very disappointed in Jacobs, but I also agree with Daseal in that I don't think he gets many looks even when he does get playing time. Brunell spends too much time waiting for Moss or Cooley to get open, and by the time he actually looks Jacobs's way-- which is rare-- Jacobs's defender has already made up whatever separation Jacobs had on him earlier in the play. The only way Jacobs will get consistent looks is when the playcall actually designates him as the primary or secondary option. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen, because Moss and Cooley will ALWAYS be the primary and secondary option in virtually any pass play the Redskins call.

That said, it's up to Jacobs to prove he's worthy of being even a third option on any play, and he really hasn't done that. Heck, at this point, Ladell Betts and Mike Sellers have proven themselves as better passing options than Jacobs.

Time for the Skins to pick up a real #2 receiver in the offseason.
