Janoris Jenkins... Wtf?

Cornerback prospect Janoris Jenkins was kicked off the Florida Gators’ football team last April after three marijuana-related arrests. Jenkins opted against the NFL supplemental draft, and played his senior season for Terry Bowden at North Alabama.

But Jenkins didn’t turn over a new leaf.

NFL Network’s Albert Breer reports that Jenkins has revealed in pre-draft team interviews that he didn’t stop smoking at the Division II school. While the truthfulness is somewhat honorable, league executives weren’t exactly pleased to hear it.

“This is a multiple offender of the drug policy in college, and it’s not like there were no character concerns at North Alabama,” one AFC personnel executive told Breer. “He had multiple opportunities to get away from it. He didn’t at Florida, and he went to North Alabama and he wasn’t clean there. … It was more of the same.”

Wow.

I'm not sure I'd even take him in the 2nd round now. It's sad. A guy this good, with this much pure talent, has this many off the field problems.

He may be in the 4th when we pick. :o

Him smoking weed is not the issue, to me its that he didn't stop even after getting kicked out Florida for it. Him being honest could be viewed as positive or negative.

Wanted him in the 2nd but not sure if JR would want someone like that on the team.

Well, him smoking is sort of a problem. If he keeps doing it, you're going to draft a player that is going to constantly be suspended.

What worries me the most is the whole "turning a new leaf, humbling experience" speech he gave at the combine about how going to North Alabama made him a humble person, and really changed his life... And then reports like this come out.

There are so many guys in the league that smoke weed, but they're able to because most of them haven't been caught doing it yet. If he didn't have a history that included him being kicked off of one of the best teams in college football because of this problem and almost losing his chance at making it to the NFL, then no one would care what he did.

IIRC, Calvin Johnson either admitted to smoking weed or tested positive for doing so at the combine when he came out, yet, by all accounts he's an upstanding guy.

The fact that he's had serious consequences for it before and didn't stop and apparently has no shame in admitting it means he isn't likely ever to stop. Sounds like another dumbass Rashard Anderson to me.

Just for fun, who do you think blazes on the Panthers roster?

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
