it's not like he COULDN'T have helped us in some circumstances. the notion of him, gore and lamichael (kendall) in the backfield seems to me a triple threat defenses would have had problems with. oh well.

>SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers on Monday suspended running back
>Brandon Jacobs for the final three games of the regular
>season, the team announced.
>
>The move prevents Jacobs from going to another team to help
>them in the final weeks of the regular season and,
>potentially, the playoffs.
>
>In the end, Jacobs' tenure with the 49ers will likely be
>remembered more for tweets and Instagram photos than yards and
>touchdowns.
>
>Several days after Jacobs complained to his followers about
>his playing time -- or lack thereof -- the 49ers suspended
>Jacobs for the remainder of the regular season.
>
>Jacobs was active for just three games, and his season stat
>line consisted of five rushing attempts for 7 yards. He was
>not active Sunday in the 49ers' 27-13 victory over the Miami
>Dolphins, as LaMichael James and Anthony Dixon handled the
>backup running back duties behind starter Frank Gore.
>
>When asked at his Monday press conference to clarify Jacobs'
>status on the team, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh answered, "No
>comment."
>
>Last week, presumably after Jacobs found out he would not be
>active for Sunday's game, he went to social media to express
>his displeasure with the 49ers.
>
>"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 fans' complains that he posted only
>photos of himself while with the New York Giants. "This is by
>far the worst year I ever had, I'll tell you like I told
>plenty others."
>
>Jacobs spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Giants. He
>scored 56 career touchdowns with the Giants, and was a member
>of two Super Bowl-winning teams.
>
>The New York Giants released Jacobs after last season, and he
>signed a one-year contract with the 49ers that included
>$950,000 in base pay and a $150,000 signing bonus. He also
>collected an additional $12,500 for each of the three games
>that he suited up.
>
>Jacobs sustained a knee injury in the 49ers' second exhibition
>game but was declared healthy in time to participate in the
>49ers' fourth game of the season. However, he was unable to
>convince the 49ers' coaching staff that he could become a
>contributor. Last week, Jacobs even took an apparent shot at
>Harbaugh.
>
>"Some people give the wrong person credit, this team win(s)
>because there is a lot of talent," Jacobs wrote on Instagram.
