Is Richard Marshall in over his head?

I really like him, but the more I see him, the more he aggravates me. Antonio Bryant owned him all day Sunday, and he hasn't been the first. Granted, most of it was a height advantage, i still have my reserves about the guy. Im really worried about him matching up with Welker. can you imagine what will happen when Moss moves over Marshall for the big play? hopefully Gamble will blanket him all day.

It's amazing that Bryant was out the league for a few years. Sure his character was in question, but he did well in SF considering their QB problems and has a knack for some spectacular catches. He is performing well this season despite missing a couple of games, so I am not too concerned about our troubles keeping him contained.

I would be more worried about how they suddenly realised Winslow was open a lot. If they had targeted him like they did towards the end, then we were in trouble.

Someone threw out a stat that Marshall's side is generating a QB rating of 40. I would love to have that confirmed or denied, as like most I am a little unsure of Marshall. If it is true, then it is clear that we, as fans, do not know what the coaches can see ;)

Oh and Munnerlyn on Welker all day, I do not care if he even gives PIs. Welker is so dangerous after the catch, we just need to prevent it getting to him. Have him jump on his back all game. Frankly I am more concerned with Gamble. No way he contains Moss. In my mind Gamble is no worse than Marshall.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
