Over the past several days, 49ers running back Jacobs has posted pictures of himself while with the Giants -- much to the objection of some 49ers fans who follow him on Instagram. Jacobs, an eighth-year pro, played on two Super Bowl-winning teams with the Giants, Matt Maiocco of CSN Bayarea reports. Jacobs originally said he had not posted any photos while with the 49ers simply because he has not been in the picture since signing. “I am on this team rotting away so why would I wanna put any pics up of anything that say niners." Jacobs wrote on Instagram in response to a fan. "This is by far the worst year I ever had, I’ll tell you like I told plenty others.†Jacobs has since added several photos of himself with the 49ers. On Saturday, Jacobs explained himself via his Twitter account: "I don't understand why people are angry at me because I wanna do what I am paid to do, I am a competitive person, I think people should be mad if I didn't wanna play, but I forgot the people that's pissed they don't have a athletic bone and their body. As for all of my Instagram photos I don't have any niner pics, if you'll find me some pics I'll put them up." Source: The Redzone
Just as insurance. Gores been historically fragile and Hunter's more or less unproven as anything more than a part time COP back. If Gore had gotten hurt at some point like he pretty much has every year, they wanted someone to platoon with Hunter that could bang inside consistently. That hasn't been an issue so Jacobs sits.
