You can never never never ever successfully run a team/business/town/church/chess club/whatever if you have someone constantly undermining you publically and privately.

Never. Ever.

Discussing Jenks' leaving is like discussing Ol Yeller's shooting.

not really. discussing what's gone wrong is how you figure out what to do next time. You have to see, ok what have we done, what are we doing now, what do we need to do next time. nothing wrong with discussing anything.

when they put him on the block for the 2007 draft i think that started a rift between the two sides that never repaired and just got wider and wider.

a little selfish on Jenkins' part, since this was the team that tolerated two years' worth of season ending injuries without replacement and watching him become an alcoholic overweight mess.

well the second round has been mixed. hit and miss. idk. im sure they are (did) try, but it hasn't worked. hopefully the scouts are working on that for next year. along with a QB of the future

More Like miss and more misses.

02: Foster over Portis: Foster wasn't too bad he came up big but Portis is a very good back (it could have been the Broncos staff who knows).

03: B Nelson: Bust

04: Colbert and Shelton: Need I say more

05: Marshall: Decent became a so far average starter.

06: Jarret: So far Bust.

We are terrible in the 2nd thanks FO for trading a pick your terrible at for a pick you are good at picking at and in a deeper year.

why did you have to bring that poo up? i mean damn Jenkins was the man, had heart and passion for the game...thinking about this does nothing but piss me off and plenty others..so i think its safe to say mission accomplished asshole

It makes it even worse by how badly we could use him right now.

Jenkins had passion for doughnuts. That was about all. He didn't like to lose, but who does? People far too often confuse outspokenness for leadership. The two are not interchangeable. The most important thing about being a leader is knowing where and when to speak and when it is warranted.

I know most folks have never seen the inside of a locker room while players are giving interviews, but they have everybody around them with a mic in their face and their teammates are all in hearing distance. That is no way to inspire your teammates, by putting them on blast in front of their faces with a bunch of news media there.

Had Jenkins been a real leader, he would have stepped away from the mic and the McDonalds and busted his ass on the field and kept his mouth shut in the media and let his play do his talking.

Again, I miss Kris Jenkins the talent.... I do not miss Kris Jenkins the mouthpiece and perpetual weight problem. Just because we didn't secure another DT to replace him does not make Kris Jenkins the player more intrinsically valuable to this team. He didn't want to be here anymore, and now he's gone. He got what he asked for.

And comparing the return on a trade by the players we took with the picks is a flawed method. The picks, themselves, are assets that do not correlate to the players selected with them. You can't just look at it and say we traded Jenkins for Godfrey and Barnidge. Those picks held value until we made the picks, and THEN they became players. The two transactions were not linked except in the sense that Carolina liked the assets that the draft picks represented and used them to select another asset they liked.
