Offseason decision to trade Jenkins fuels Panthers

I'm don't going to believe, for even one second, that one guy ruined the whole team and made them all play bad.

obviously they couldn't joke around when Jenkins was there, considering he was a joker himself

So even when he wasn't there Jenkins stopped them from joking around.


I never knew that joking around was the key to playing good football, unless your name is Kris Jenkins and it's a cancer.

It had nothing to do with having to depend on Carr, obviously

 

Who knows what happened behind closed doors but it is hard to argue with the results.

 

there are a ton of factors to consider including:

starting QB returning
better WR options
completely retooled OL
new starting RB and backup
more experienced MLB
outside linbackers switched
new DL scheme
Peppers changed positions
healthy secondary

 

All contributing factors. my question is if Jenkins was such a cancer why didn't another veteran get in his grill?

 

Who knows. Players confronted Smith with things they didn't like about his attitude during the makeup period. Was he another reason they couldn't execute last year?

I can buy that Jenkins effort and attitude could have affected his play and he could have been a pain in the ass but I can't see how getting rid of him made everyone else play better considering how many other changes there have been.

 

Jenkins wasn't just a normal cancer, he was a supercancer. Side effects of supercancer are veterans turning into meek rookies, coaches becoming retards, quarterbacks blowing out elbows, and all around suckage. That's unless you're in New York, of course, where supercancer actually makes teams substantially better.


Ugh. Media members are fucking stupid, but the worst thing of all is that they reinforce Thelt's superstupidity.

 

the team certainly believed in addition by subtraction. Jenkins was, by all accounts, one of the leaders they'd grown to not like in that role, along with Wahle I'm assuming. Leadership had been a problem for a couple years, and they've addressed that. Getting rid of two guys that

It's just "a factor", certainly. There are others. I would certainly rather say that we had a happy, all-around useful Jenkins than an unhappy, impactive but inconsistent and unfocused 400 lb Jenkins. From a paper standpoint we should have kept him. The concern in my mind more recently is whether we should've re-entered the market for tackles in the volatile market, but given what we did in free agency we weren't prepared to spend big. We also weren't going to give out money to a DT - Jenkins or otherwise - with Peppers unresolved, and any action to trade away Jenkins and trade in another DT would obviously draw specific comparisons between the two in how they were judged.

 

Fuck you, Collin.

 

I'm not talking about the janitors who clean the bathrooms at WBTV.
