At first I thought Sayid would be Jacob, but I don't think so anymore.
My theory: the smoke monster/man in black is Aaron. Jacob is the child of some of the other characters on the show, possibly jack and kate? Their remaining on the island turns into them having a child, being Jacob. For some reason, somehow the world ends in the not so distant future, but the island is not destroyed, because it exists slightly outside of time, or like, right as everything is destroyed, the island is sent back into time, as sort of a "life boat". As we have learned before, for whatever reason that i can't remember, the farther you travel from the future or whatever, the less you age (something like that). Richard is a good example. Having been on the island for so long, and existing so fucked up from his original time, he hasn't aged. Jacob and Smokey (aaron maybe?) are from basically the end of time, but are "rewound" hundreds, if not thousands of years into their past, making they literally immortal (being so far from their own time, and unable to die for whatever reasoning the show uses). Their original point in doing this? Manipulate things through time to hopefully prevent whatever future calamity. Remember when they were watching the BlackRock coming a shore? Something like "here they come, blah blah, they always bring trouble, blah blah" and Jacob says something about progress being better than the end or something (fuzzy memory on the exact quote). Jacob and Smokey may have had to live this over and over attempting to fix the end of time event, but failing. Smokey is sick of it though, and is tired of this endless cycle. I don't know, I am probably talking out of my ass.
