Salam tripoli..after further research we dont follow imam jafar because of his teaching in fiqh havent been aauthentically recorded..apart from the students..plus himself imam jafar hasnt written any books..on this matter..the other point that many sunni are converting to shiasim is that they have read there books m, and can quote fabricated hadiths..so to answer a question like yourself ur not doing anyone any favours..in a debate to answer like u yourself comes across as ignorant..and turning away muslims from the truth..so brother rather than mock its better to clarify..to those that have different beliefs..can u u imagine the prophetvor sahaba answering the question like u did...

How then do you explain the fact that we have loads of Hadith by him in our books and we narrate from him and his family authentic narrations? if that isn't "following" I don't know what is.

-`Ali bin abi Talib (ra) was the tenth companion who narrated the most Hadith in our main books, he narrated 586 narrations from the Prophet (SAWS).

-Ja`far bin Muhammad (rah) was one of the biggest Imams and scholars of Ahlul-Sunnah in Madinah, he narrated more than most of our other Imams and the vast majority of his narrations were authentic, he narrated 206 narrations in the main books from the Prophet (SAWS).

Unless you want an "Official Madhab" like the four or five we have today, then that's not possible and the brothers already answered why in previous posts, ALSO you can try looking at his students and teachers and see for yourself if we were the ones following him or not.
