Jayflip pretty much nailed it. Jenkins still does not man up to anything he ever does or did. It's always because of this or because of that. Just like how in one sentence he says he was an idiot and in the next three paragraphs explaining how it was not his fault and he went through a lot of things. Carolina checked up on you and probably for good reason right? You are/were an idiot after all right? So why do you have a problem with a company checking on their team idiot that is a million+ dollar investment? If I hired an idiot to wax my boat for 5 million dollars you bet your ass I'd be breathing down his neck. Get it?

See he goes on about the combines and contracts like their warnings, warning he doesn't admit failing to see, jst admits they are there. That is what a contract is and everyone who makes that kind of money has them. What about showing up to the combine? What about the signature on the contracts and not the contracts themselves? See pointing out all the bad things but taking out the fact it was his choice and only happened with him agreeing to partake in them. He just doesn't involve himself in anything that happens to him. I didn't know how to live so it wasn't my fault, I didn't know, there are warnings I ignored but no one just flat out told me so I didn't know, not my fault. fuging stupid.

He was a good player but if he thinks he is anywhere close to his idol Reggie White he truly is an idiot.

As far as player's health I don't know enough to agree with him there and I guess we can't blame him for not knowing football was a contact sport and injuries can go into older age... no one told him, you have to tell idiots things even the obvious.

Excellent article, and I agree 100% with his thoughts on the conditioning. The NFL definitely doesn't do enough to focus on a player's core while training. Look at the NHL...that's nearly all they focus on with their players and those guys have extremely long careers and put up with a very similar (sometimes more) amounts of physicality.

People loved Jenks when he was here for "telling it like it is". Now he isn't here, and people moan about him doing what he has always done...?

Personally, yes I saw shots at the way the Panthers were running, but he also said that some things are getting better. However, I saw the majority being shots at the NFL itself, then using examples of teams that do get it right.

He also said he loved and wouldn't change it, so he's not really bitching and moaning. Just telling it like it is for those who don't know. People do realise this was transcriptions of interviews, right? He isn't in control of the way the questions are going...

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
