Encyclopedia > Jack Jacobs

Jack Jacobs was a legendary Canadian Football League quarterback for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Though his career was relatively short he threw the ball for 11,094 yards and 104 touchdowns during an era when running the ball was more common. His exciting passing game drew thousands of fans to Blue Bombers games, instigating the need for the city to build a larger stadium, Winnipeg Stadium (now called Canad Inns Stadium). The stadium, built in 1953, was nicknamed "the house that Jack built" because of Jacobs contribution to the success of the team. Since Jacobs' time the CFL has become known for its fast, wide-open passing game, a feature that distinguishes it from the slower, more run-dominated National Football League. Jacobs was elected into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1963.
