Henderson behavioral issues?

[RJK]

His personality is unimportant to me honestly. Having a DB who isn’t a diva is a nice change of pace. What concerns me is the questioning his desire to play football…nobody can fix that but him if he even wants to

That's why I say that if he will not play for Matt Rhule he's a lost cause.  Matt knows something we do not.

The cost is worth the gamble.  But the cost is why I am not getting my hopes up either.     It’s like us trading Jaycee Horn next year for  a decent TE.   That just wouldn’t make sense…unless there was something up with Horn.   

100% worth the gamble, 100/100 make that trade. I know its impossible for panthers fans, but in this case there needs to low expectations for this season. Again no clue where he is mind/body, no panther TC, new D, new environment, young, family/friend issuesetc etc. 

Horn-wise, sorta like CJ is too many unknowns. I do not have a x-ray of his foot, nor know the ligament damage, plus no doc either. Too many ???- like is he going with a plate, rest, air cast, heading to Germany for miracles, etc. I do know the bye is week 13 and that 2.5+ months away. Total guess would be choose the best option and see where he is during that bye first. If he is 100% healed AND the panthers are heading to playoffs, get that cardio up young horn.....

One of the few good Canes we've put into the league in recent years.

• The Panthers’ move to get corner C.J. Henderson is, indeed, an aggressive one. And a big part of why it’s a gamble is figuring out what Henderson mindset is. Much of the issue with Henderson, and trouble in getting him going the last few months, stemmed back to a simple question: How much does he really want to play football? Yes, I know people get upset when a player’s love for the game is questioned, but that was a very real thing for the Jaguars, and is especially vital when you consider how Henderson’s potential as an athlete has outpaced his production as a player. The Jaguars did their best the last two months to try and get the best from Henderson, and now the Panthers will get a swing at the same challenge. And if it works out, they’ll have two corners drafted in the top 10 playing on rookie deals when Jaycee Horn gets back from injury. But the “if” here is indeed a big one

We have a MLB apparently with the same quiet personality in Jermaine Carter Jr. Rhule had to come to some understandings about quiet but confident players with Carter and how to get the best out of them. I'm fully confident that Rhule has this.

• So why do the Panthers feel good about it? Their corners coach, Evan Cooper, gave Henderson his first scholarship offer, when Henderson was still on his high school’s J.V. team, and Cooper was on staff at the University of Miami. The two have remained in contact since, and so Cooper’s background with Henderson was a factor in bringing him in. Based on that background, there’s also a belief that Henderson will be a better fit for Matt Rhule’s program than he was for Doug Marrone or Urban Meyer. And we’ll invoke the “if” again here … If it works out, the Panthers really just moved one of their picks in April down two rounds (they sent a three to the Jags and got a five and TE Dan Arnold back), and they’ll have him for less than $1 million for the rest of this year, $2.48 million for next year and $3.41 million in 2023.

Largest city in the country by area or something

Atlanta has the largest city metro in terms of square miles, due to no natural boundaries preventing sprawl.  JAX is limited by the ocean on the east, so can't really spread that direction much.

I think panthers evan cooper knows him form CJs high school days. 

I hope CJ doesnt have JeffOtahoness..... still worth the risk to find out.

Thanks for all the infro nuggets Juan! Im behind on giving out pie, just awful at that.....

I don’t get the sense that when they call him “different”….that they just mean quiet and reserved.

Sounds like a bunch of hoopla to me. He wanted to get away from his toxic relatives, friends, and community. Hard to stay focused when you're dealing with a bunch of moochers.

Urban + Jacksonville will disturb a lot of people.

I disagree hope it’s not an issue, better hope front office checked on this first or we in trouble
