Kris Jenkins Is Why I'm Scared Of Drafting a Defensive Tackle

I remember the Wesley Walls curse at tight end, but that really stopped last year with Olsen and Shockey. It turns out that if you ignore a position and only throw a day two or three pick at it every once in a while, said position will suck. It's probably the same with DT.

As for MLB, we've already gotten like 3 all-pro seasons out of beason before he got injured, so that is a really delayed curse. I love Morgan, but he tackled with his noggin and the injuries shouldn't be a shock.

Jenkins just refused to keep his fat ass in shape. He always ballooned up in the offseason and I always said it would catch up with him. In his younger years, he was able to work his way back into playing shape through camp and the preseason, but the older you get, the harder it is to pull it off.

If Jenkins would've committed to keeping himself under 350, probably in the 330 range, he'd probably still be playing. I'd be willing to bet that he played a lot of snaps over 400.

Kris Jenkins helped propel our defensive line to elite status which helped us get to our first Super Bowl which we lost because of John Kasay's choke and God Brady. What's the bad part about drafting another Jenkins? Having a great line?

True....

But it would have been terrific if he lasted just a little longer. And idk if there's a Kris this draft... just like nobody knew Kris would be Kris coming out

    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time.
