An analyst has called on Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst to explain the team's decision to continue relying on running back Josh Jacobs, suggesting it is unfair to ask head coach Matt LaFleur to justify the move.
The commentary, reported by Pro Football Network on November 4, 2026, highlights growing scrutiny over Jacobs' role in the Packers' offense. The analyst argued that Gutekunst, as the architect of the roster, should address why the organization remains committed to the veteran running back amid questions about his production.
LaFleur, who oversees game-day strategy, has faced questions about Jacobs' usage, but the analyst contended that the ultimate responsibility lies with the front office. The Packers have not publicly responded to the request for clarification.
