Why is coach Fox so stubborn?

Why is coach still hesitant on letting Gamble go one on one with the other teams best WR?

You pay him like a shutdown Cb plus he wants too do it. He's begging to do it.

I would think that after the Arizona debacle he would jump at trying something new.

Can someone give me a reason why we would keep doing the same thing with our Cb's?

I would think Fox would probably counter w/ the 1st AZ game, NO, and some other examples where things weren't such a huge trainwreck. We don't play a LOT of man coverage anyway.

All I'm saying is you pay the man like a shutdown CB let him do it.

What are the benefits of keeping it the way it is?

Like in the Tampa Monday night game you could see Tampa kept putting

Antonio Bryant on Lucas side and torch him. I would like too see if gamble can shutdown a weapon for another team.

I would like to point out that john fox's recent comments about this at

http://www.heraldonline.com/247/story/1522243.html

This is basicaly typical Fox double speak, and I can understand why

he will not make any statements where he will confirm any changes.

Unfortunately we will not know if there will be any changes until the scrimage and the

first 2 preseason games.

The Panthers reportedly plan to isolate CB Chris Gamble on opposing No. 1 receivers this season.

Carolina may have learned its lesson after Larry Fitzgerald torched (mostly) Ken Lucas for 166 yards on eight grabs in last year's playoffs. Gamble is usually the club's left corner. He'll be bookended by Richard Marshall in 2009.

Can Gamble win the battle with a number one WR more often than not? I know it was a while back, but I keep thinking of the game in Cincinnati where we had them at a fourth and one, and they threw a bomb to Ocho Cinco in single coverage with Gamble, and we all probably remember what happened on that play. I'm sure there have been more good than bad, but that's the one I remember most.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
