Jets' Jenkins in familiar territory in Carolina

[scpanther22]

"When I retire, I'll be moving back to Charlotte just because it's cheaper, it's slower, it's more peaceful, it's less trouble for your kids to get into," Jenkins said. "It's going to be a beautiful thing and that's why I can't complain. When it's all said and done, and when you look at it through the good and the bad out there, it helped me develop the character that has made me who I am now.

"That's why I said I have nothing to be mad at.

It seems so long ago that he left. Really he only had one or two good years as a Panther. Hope it works out for him as a Jet.

pretty much 01 to 03 was his heyday. The injuries really hurt him after that. If we had him in 05 we might have been back to the superbowl.

You mean he might have kept Jake from thowing all those int's against Seattle?

All this talk about the Jets tonight and I completely forgot about Jenkins.

I thought the whole reason he wanted to leave was becuz no one had heart on the team and it was to slow down here and he didnt like charlotte.

[Mother Grabber]

No one accused him of being smart, just said he was fat for a quick guy...or is that quick for a fat guy. Something like that. Doesn't matter, because he's always on IR anyway.

Not a real big suprise that Krispy Kreme stock dropped when Jenkins moved from NC to NY/NJ.

[SorthNarolina]

I think what he's trying to say is that the big ass house he bought here is a lot cheaper than his big ass house in NY. Honestly that's what it comes down to.

Im not one to jump gun for Hof candiates,However, Ive always thought, had he stayed healthy and motivated, he had a decent shot to make it.

So far, he's done neither for more than two years in a row.

Kris was a monster of a player when he was healthy. And that year that he was calling people out for not having heart, he was, sadly, right on the money. But doing something like that doesn't rest well on your teammates and management, whether you are right or wrong. Once he said it, the exit sign light went on and he wasn't long for the team anymore.

What he said on the way out of Charlotte probably had less to do with his real feelings and more of him telling himself, "It's okay, I didn't like that place anyhow." But sometimes you don't get to pick where your heart says is home.

He's a big guy that wears his emotions on his sleeve. I wish he could have worked out here and I'm betting both he and the coaching staff here has wished the same over the years.
