For what it's worth, I think Barrows has been highly outspoken against Jenkins ever since last year's draft.
For the record, Rotoworld sucks. It does provide an eye-pleasing snapshot of injuries, who they believe made news and whatever fits their pre-conceived narrative for the day, but other than that they are terrible. The link they sourced regarding Jenkins has very little to do with Jenkins at all, and is all pure speculation on Rotoworld's part, not actual shuffling of the depth chart, deficiencies at the WR position or eyes on the ground as to what happened in camp, OTAs, practice or whatever. I never take anything they print seriously unless it is scrubbed against a reputable source.
I read Barrows twice a day and this is out of left field. I don't think I've ever seen Barrows be biased against a player.
Yeah, out of all of the Bay Area beat writers, Barrows is pretty straight down the middle. He and Kevin Lynch are the only two that I read and take with some credence, although Lynch is more opinionated.
So, we should ignore his talent and ignore the fact his Quarterback (Kaepernick) has said he is improving?This arguement has been debunked numerous times in this thread. He wasn't on the bench behind probowl wrs he was on the bench behind chad hall. They literally signed free agent wr's off the street during the year instead of playing him...I find it funny that since he hasn't seen the field that automatically means he can't play. Colin Kaepernick didn't beat out Alex Smith last year, that clearly means that Alex Smith is better than Colin Kaepernick, right?
You'd be foolish to write this guy off so early. It's not like he's dog####.

Besides, who's going to catch deep lasers from Kaepernick off play-action and whatnot? I'll take a chance on the guy they drafted in the 1st Round who runs a 4.39 forty.
so to use your analogy this isn't alex smith vs ck this is alex smith gets hurt, they sign jeff george and start him, he gets hurt so they bring trent dilfer out of retirement, he gets hurt and they wheel out warren moon in a wheel chair and he starts...if that happened to CK we could all agree the coaches don't clearly see much in him.
what do you expect CK to say when asked about his receiver? "He's terrible...he's bad and he's not getting better"?
Sounds like I may have got lucky when a ###whole declined my 2nd round pick for Jenkins because he wanted to recoup the 1rd pick that he paid last season.
As a Jenkins owner, he has to be a hold; trading him now, you'd get next to nothing for him. And, while there's a chance he might actually be worth less than next to nothing, you almost certainly have more than that invested in him, so giving up on him at this point is sunk cost. Hold and see if he turns it around this year. Latest reports since he came back from injury have been largely positive.
...then get tackled, get one more concussion and then retire. It's going to happen.
He seems like a clone of Brandon Lloyd. The talent is there but it appears he doesn't get it.
Assuming Jenkins does get cut it doesn't mean it's all over for him. Amendola didn't even make a roster his first two years before finally making the Rams.
Jenkins is Marcus Maxwell in the hope he can make the 49ers squad. The thing is Maxwell was drafted in the 7th round, "Mr Baby TO".
