The fact that they have Scandrick cover the slot receiver should be enough to warrant him to be allowed a shot at starting. Handing the job to Jenkins has more to do with his draft status than actually on field production IMO.
I call BS now and when this rediculous conspiracy theory was first floated out there this off-season.
Best players play. Period end of story. If the draft status meant anything, Jenkins would have been named the starter before week one.
Care to explain why he wasn't?
How about why Carpenter has never seen a start? He's a former 1st rd pk.
The only bias that may have existed in this Jenkins/Scandrick saga is one that is completely legit and should factor in.
And that's the original and ongoing evaluation of each players pure talent.
It has nothing to do with draft status and making themselves look better by having the higher drafted player start.
It has everything to do with potential and achieving the highest level of play.
There's no arguing the fact that Scandrick developed faster in 2008 and earned more playing time than Jenkins.
There's also little reason to argue that Jenkins has now surpassed Scandrick and deserves to start.
