IMO losing Carstens to a blood clot and diease hurt a lot more than trading away Jenkins.

Losing him hurt because he was a fully developed player that was extremely solid and would have lasted with this franchise for a while.

The thing that really irks me is the loss of Gary Gibson, because he was in the same mold as Carstens and has been playing quite well for the Rams as their starter.

Jenkins didn't, and Peppers doesn't want to play for John Fox's sh*tty ass defense.

Don't blame them, I wouldn't either, should have traded Fox instead of Jenkins.

Wow, that's some real insight since Fox's defense was usually in the top ten the whole time Jenkins was here, and they were top five when Carstens took Jenkins place for a season.

I'll bet you were one of the first ones who jumped all over Jenkins for gaining so much weight when he was here.

It's more about Fox than it is about the actual defense or their stats, could have worded that better sure.

They didn't/don't want to play for Fox anymore, what that means is up to you, I know what I think.

And no I don't care about a fatty getting more fat.

As long as it isn't criminal, I don't care what players do off the field, I'd take Collins right now over Jake actually.

I haven't heard Jenkins or Peppers say one bad word about Fox so far, so I'm not ready to jump to that conclusion just yet. Hell, if anything, Fox was crazy for putting up with Jenkins antics as long as he did. It's not really too much to ask for a player with weight problems to show up for off season conditioning sessions. Jenkins even had a weight clause in his contract, which he failed to live up to.

Sure there is no proof, I just happen to believe he acted that way to force a trade because he was done w/Fox.

I am more biased because I am fed up with Fox too, but you are right, if that is in his contract he was in the wrong for not honoring that.

Compared to other teams problems, that is a minor infraction compared to how important he was to the defense.

I'm not defending Jenkins at all for what he did in the wrong, I just think the bigger fish is Fox.

I understood Peppers wanting to leave too, and didn't jump on him as well.

I still think he has every right to leave, and he isn't costing us cap space, the FO is.

How do know that Peppers' reasoning for wanting to leave isn't because he hates Jon Beason? That could be just as true as him hating / being tired of Fox because neither have any quotes to back it up. For all we know Peppers could love Fox.

      If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.

      Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
