Not as good as it would be with him.

I like Tru a lot - but he hit the lotto getting $30M+ for two years.
Like JJ way more, always thought he got a bad rap, and btw, was a decent tackler as well as a true shut down corner. And always kept his nose clean.
Those clips notwithstanding ( he really wasn’t in a good position on either one) I’d grab JJ in a heartbeat.
(Incognito as well)
Other than violent assault or domestic abuse, spare me the outrage for those whose lifestyle/mores you disagree with.
A. - it doesn’t matter, and B.- it’s none of your goddamn business.
Vegas, spare me your outrage over non-existent outrage. If you want to see ACTUAL outrage, try posting about how Jared Cook is a terrific player.
And it’s silly to say JJ was “out of position” on those whiffs versus the Giants— he just flat-out quit.
I disagree with you that “the only things that matter” are “violent assault and domestic abuse”, while everything else is “ none of our goddamn business.”
If Janoris quitting on his team (who have all mailed it in) is unacceptable, then half this team should be booted out for last season.
Yeah, I was listening to WFAN all night, as I wasn't feeling well and it kept me up. Man...Jenkins was only one of many who the media absolutely barbequed.Is getting completely lambasted on NY talk shows for his game yesterday.
So, they put together a snippet of all the times McAdoo referred to watching the tapes... it was hilarious... he referenced it 11 times! Then, it dawned on me how Fisher said that all the times after losses... "well, we'll go back and look at the tapes". One of the media guys was yelling... YOU WERE AT THE FREAKING GAME... YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT WENT WRONG... YOU DON'T NEED TAPES!!It is a total crap show in NY.
Jackrabbit has always been an up and down guy. I think he loses focus on the game at times
he wouldn't qualify as a McVay 'we' type player for his Rams.
Dieter and others, please check out a couple of those “Jenkins completely quitting” vids in the link by the OP before you decide how sure u are about wanting him back.
He can keep his "Me" brand elsewhere.
JJ doesn't fit in this new Rams organization his attitude is no bueno and sometimes true colors show down the road
I don't respect rage quitters.
Skill set aside, I don't think his mindset is a fit.
Draft a CB next year... the Rams are doing very well without Jackass (the NY media is calling him that now... I called him that before the Rams game against them).Count me among those who'd rather see the Rams draft a CB next year, rather than bring JJ back.
Never said I was outraged, just amused. Also never said Jared Cook was a "terrific" player - I posted that he was playing better than he did with the Rams. I still think he is, but most everyone else disagreed. Cool with that.
That was a reach - playing devil's advocate there - my bad. I was flat wrong.
My point was (and is), JJ is an exceptional corner, but is a freaking goof. But taking stupid selfies, getting high and having kids out of wedlock does not make him a bad teammate. Or even a "low character" guy, character being somewhat subjective based on one's own personal set of values.
OTTH, there ARE traits that are flat wrong, and should never be acceptable. JJ's not guilty, imo, of any of these.
Incognito? (TMZ notwithstanding), as far as I know, with one obvious exception, most of his teammates were cool with him.
True, but our D who gave up very little points in the first half of the season all of a sudden were allowing teams to blow us out the last half. And our beloved Gurley went out and called out our coaching staff by saying we were a "middle school offense". I doubt he played 100% for having so little faith in our coaching staff. Alot of key players on our team seemed to have mailed it in last season. I dont blame them and neither were alot of us.Many were.
This is a weird coincidence because I'm a Les too...a Lesbian.(The following is not directed at you Les.

Same here.I called him that before the Rams game against them).
I remember JJ being called for PI and holding against bigger WR or sometimes just Mossed. He's better now but he's better at jumping routes instead of contesting at the highest point.Actually Jenkins best games came against taller receivers I remember his first game against the lions when they was testing him with fade routes like 3 plays in a row while he was a rookie then he intercepted a slant that was going to the TE. He shut down DZ Bryant all the time the guys that he did have problems with was the shifty double move route runners. Johnson is good I have just seem too many WRs toasting him this year and others
Jenkins rarely got called for holding or PI yea sometimes he did get mossed but the only guy I saw him really get missed by was Doug Baldwin.I remember JJ being called for PI and holding against bigger WR or sometimes just Mossed.

As far as Tru, he got beat by Dez with the first jump ball but was with him the rest of the game and he did a good job shadowing Fitz. I'm not sure if its still true, but he was one of the few corners that has not been for a TD this year. Hopkins had some catches but they were acrobatic toe taps, the same with Garcon. He's taking the hardest matchups and sometimes a play or so happens but I think he's been fantastic so far.
That's probably why I remember something like that lol. I was probably mad because it was a shitty Seahawk hahaJenkins rarely got called for holding or PI yea sometimes he did get mossed but the only guy I saw him really get missed by was Doug Baldwin.
As far as Johnson he has been good but he has also been very lucky. There had been at least 10 over throws on him with about 4 that would have been touchdowns if caught. I always say good teams make their own luck so I’m still pleased with Johnson, but I know the shoe will eventually drop and he get exposed.
