Found this on the ESPN Rumor Mill for Wednesday:

Tuesday morning we pondered the idea of the Carolina Panthers using the No. 9 overall pick on Justin Blackmon, a player that could become a dynamic complement to Steve Smith. But he's obviously not the only option that could be available to Ron Rivera's team at that spot, and Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer revealed another potential first-rounder in compiling his list of winners and losers from the NFL scouting combine.

According to Person, "the Panthers are intrigued" with the abilities of North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins. Jenkins has a checkered past -- including multiple arrests on marijuana charges -- but reportedly addressed those issues during combine interviews. Oh, he also ran a 4.46 in the 40, with the fastest 10-yard split of any defensive back at the showcase.

The Panthers certainly have a need for an upgrade at CB and both Jenkins and LSU's Morris Claiborne have to be under consideration with their top pick. Todd McShay of Scouts, Inc. offers his thoughts on how Claiborne and Jenkins' work at the NFL scouting combine influenced their stock:

I know Joe Person is a moron, but there still is a possibility that he might have heard something.

While this is true. If, only IF, the possibility should arise. I'd take Mo over J at #9 any day. To be honest it should be what corner do we take at #9. Dre or J? I'd have a hard time deciding that.

Jenkins fits our D a million times better than Kirkpatrick. As much as I've stated my hatred for going DT with the first pick, I'd rather us do that than take Kirkpatrick.

i dont, if both guys stay away from trouble, i think Jenkins is better than Kirkpatrick. i think he's a playmaker at corner which is why i like him.

I absolutely love Jenkins' ability. But damn he has a lot of baggage.

Kirkpatrick may have made a mistake. However, Jenkins has made mistake, after mistake, after mistake. He just does not show that he has learned from them. God he really reminds me of Pacman Jones.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
