STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Heavy career workload and plotter role create long-term risk

Josh Jacobs is viewed as a 'plotter' and a technician similar to David Montgomery, but he carries significant concern due to his heavy career workload and high-volume usage since his rookie season. The team's stubbornness in feeding him the ball despite low pass-rate-over-expectation suggests he could eventually be replaced by MarShawn Lloyd.
