Hochman: Selfish Janoris Jenkins tweets after loss

[blackbart]

Jenkins is an idiot nothing new there. He has played decent but not great this year, that is better than other years.

I don't understand how knowledgeable fans can be ok with this kind of behavior, it hurts the locker room and can become a problem with team unity. If you don't think that is important you probably have never been in a locker room that had that problem.

When we drafted him - there were people coming out from every corner proclaiming that he would be suspended in no time - that it was a waste of a pick, blah blah blah

If social media posts that make the fan base squirm are as bad as the off the field stuff gets with him, sign me up a full team of guys like him.

This is one of those deals that will take no big deal and make it into something.

This is the least of our worries. If everyone played the way he is we'd be 8-0.

A little immature but nothing divisive to his team.

Let's keep it in perspective. He had a tough job to do and got it done vs a rising wr.

He took pride in the day he turned in and tweeted about it.

I love me some Janoris!!

He just needs to remember to be humble and let your play on the field speak for you.

Win: then you can talk all you want.
Lose: shut up.

Even the term "tweet" pisses me off today.

wow......they made an entire article about this....then published it?

I see nothing selfish here.

If Jenkins was under contract for the next 3 years, this wouldn't bother me. It kind of tells me that he's out for himself and at the end of the year he is probably going to chase the money without much consideration for this organization. Just my opinion.

Why should he think about an organization instead of himself?

 

[LesBaker]

And maybe he was tweeting in response to some digs by Diggs or trash talk from trolls.

Here's a thought Hochman, you're the fucking journalist why didn't you go find out?

I agree. I do not think JJ will be back next year with the Rams.

He better be, too many damn holes on this team to get picky and choosy with our corner.

He is a top 10 corner. That isnt "decent" cornerback play. As for the locker room, you don't have a problem when you have the right leaders. JL will make sure the D knows it could have played better. You learn to handle guys like JJ, Not simply cast him off.

 

[Rabid Ram]

Sorry again another reporter that reads tweets and brings up LA for the drama anymore it's not reporting it's click bait engineering.

 

[fearsomefour]

Jenkins is a dumb guy.
Dumb guys do dumb things.
He did his job yesterday and that is all he can really control. Just a judgement thing with twitter. Not a biggie to me.
Pay that man his money.

I agree you don't throw them out but you don't necessarily break the bank for him either. I don't see top 10 (and that is all subjective) I see a guy playing for a new contract. With that coming for a guy who has displayed questionable character it should be a concern.

 

[fancents86]

I don't think Jenkins is playing any better than previous years, I think he is just playing more man to man coverage than trying to make that big play like he used to, which would sometimes also give up big plays.

Maybe it was worded wrong, but I meant that I think his decision will be way more money driven than about his fit with the team, how much he likes playing for the Rams, and how much he would like to continue playing with his current teammates.

I think he will get a $70+ million dollar contract which Rams cannot match. Time to put franchise tag on JJ I think. There are about 3 shutdown corners in this league and JJ is the best behind the top 3. So good luck to JJ if he leaves.

The way the offseason has been going, I have no doubt a team will pay JJ a crap load of money. I agree that the team will likely franchise him before that happens. Bad thing is we still have Tru, Hayes, and Barron to worry about as well. I'm assuming that Fairley will be given a decent chance to start somewhere else and jump ship.
