Shots Fired: Josh Kerr Says Jakob Surrounded by "Yes-Men", Has Major Weakness, and "pretty high" ego

Just gonna drop this here

Kerr's record against Jakob over the past 3 years:

1500: 1-6

5000: 0-1

Josh Kerr talking about other people’s big egos. That made me chuckle.

Thought he was 1-11 overall? Read that in a few other posts but could be wrong.

Josh Kerr is the defending world champion not Jakob put some respect on his name

I suppose it's a fair point. We've all seen the races. But, I mean, it's not necessarily revelatory analysis. The easy flip side is that Kerr has a "major weakness" if the pace is going under 3:29. All of which is to say Jakob likes running fast, which we knew.

Glad to see Josh is still devastated by Jakob’s “next guy” comment. He knocks Jakob for being paced by Tim in Tokyo and doesn’t realize he’s undercutting his own gold in Budapest where Jakob paced him the entire way.

Looking forward to World Indoors where Josh will have another opportunity to duck Jakob!

Beats Jacob one time…Josh needs a reality check lol. Can’t wait for Jacob to absolutely obliterate him in the Olympics 😂😂

Imagine if Jakob said anything close after winning a race, lmao.

Jakob always was the pacemaker - both Wightman and Kerr realized this

I mean this in the nicest way possible, Kerr has no room to talk when it comes to other people having unnecessarily big egos. He knocks Jakob for his tactics, but doesn’t mention that Jakob’s beaten him at every other global championships, be it Doha, Tokyo, Eugene, or even world U20’s. Kinda funny to see that he’s still so upset about being called “the next guy.” I know he’s saying this just to probably get under Jakob’s skin but I think it’s ironic given he still isn’t over Jakob’s statement.

He knows Jakob is done just like everyone always predicted.

^ mental illness is no joke proof here, see a therapist people! its ok

I reckon josh kerr will come back next season in 3:28 shape and walk the walk.

Will be interesting to see how Jakob is after this injury, but ofc it's pretty hard to bet against him.

the question is who has the bigger ego . Kerr or Jacob ?

Kerr is the Vanilla Ice of the 1500 world. One hit wonder.

"that you’re just on this, you must be surrounded by so many yes-men that you don’t realize that you have weaknesses."

What is he even trying to say here? That Filip and Henrik are whispering "you won't get outkicked, don't worry bro" into Jakob's ear?

And on top of that, the 1500 isn't even Jakob’s best event.

Was going to say the exact same thing. I suppose it takes one super inflated ego to recognize another. At that, Kerr is surrounded by Macaroni Pie and munchy boxes.

I guess there would be tears and hysteria.

Just like you're doing because Josh said it.

He's being a troll, stop crying about it.
