I agree. Jacob and Bella actually know each other and there is a trust formed between them as friends which is crucial for a relationship to work. Edward and Bella....well, they never really 'get to know' each other. They just kind of rush into it because they are fascinated by each other, without knowing anything about the other. Bella says she trusts him, but I don't believe that fully. At least not at first anyway.
