So did anyone see Kris Jenkins taunting the panthers fan?

btw Jenkins' last truly great season here was 2003. He was good in 2006 (made the Pro Bowl mostly on name recognition) but nothing special in 2007. Fans just remember him calling out his teammates during what was an overall down year for the front four anyway, and that's just enough to kick start the selective amnesia-o-matic and the posts about the guy who Jordan Carstens replaced without missing a beat come flooding out.

Post-Carolina, Jenkins was treated to a primo view of the playoffs from his couch in 2008 and blew his knee the f**k up in 2009. Again. look at what we missed

Kris Jenkins was the heart and soul of our defensive line who carried this defense for years. The panthers FO treated him like poo for speaking out about how heartless this team was. Im glad he had the balls to speak up when nobody else would. The problem is that Fox/Hurney/JR are all a bunch of spinless pussies that cant handle hearing the truth even when it hurts.

lol who do you think he was calling out on the line in 2007 exactly? Kemoeatu? Mike Rucker? Stanley McClover is my bet

Kris Jenkins left and the defense didn't get any worse, so I can't see how he was the heart and soul.

Dan Morgan would have been the heart and soul of the defense had he stayed healthy.

Jenkins was a great player, but as a team leader, he was terrible. He called out others, even after games in which he made critical errors.

The whole team

PantherBob we need to get this worked out right now before "Peppers is the best defensive player the Panthers ever had!" and "Kris Jenkins was right to call out the entire 2007 which ostensibly included Julius Peppers!" come face to face and collapse into a super dense vortex of contradictory opinions and destroy the very nature of reality as we know it.

By the way I guess it was unfair for the Panthers to put up with Jenkins spending two entire f**king seasons snorkeling to the bottom of bottles of Jack and not taking his rehab seriously while he was on IR.

Okay, time for a serious post:

Jenkins was a good, even great, player when he wanted to be. Shitty attitude and poor work ethic usually go hand in hand with shitty performance. In Jenkins' case, he usually maintained a fragile equilibrium and played, for the most part, at an acceptable-occasionally very high level on Sundays. I can't blame the Panthers' FO for sending his ass off after some of the poo he pulled during his rehabs and OTAs/TCs. Looking at it objectively, he wasn't the same player for us post-2003 and we've hardly missed him.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
