here's some opinion from rotoworld.com:

Either Carolina is just being cheap or it saw something bad from Marshall in 2009 that we didn't. As a starting corner one one of the league's top pass defenses, Marshall picked off four passes, recovered two fumbles, and has always been a big tackler. The 25-year-old is likely to draw interest.

Honestly, as long as we have the opportunity to match any offer, I don't see much of a problem, unless you all know something I don't. (And just a heads up-- excuse my grammar. i get burned out from writing papers, taking exams, and such. the Net is the only place that I can get away with this. fair warning.)

I'm saying bait. Which, if true and successful in good ways, makes the decision to make him the starter look like shear providence on the part of the front office. If nobody bites, he battles Munnerlyn for the start. Either way, I think it's the right move. He was most certainly not the most important RFA we had this year, and any tender at all on him indicates that we still place a bit of importance on him (see Lloyd, Rhys).

munnerlyn is not starting material at any position other than nickle or dime back at this point, IMO.

Agreed, but who else would he battle? Wilson? Weasly? Not much better on either count if you ask me. Unless some magical steal happens in the draft, Munnerlyn is the 3rd best CB on roster, and the only threat to Marshall starting if he stays.

right, but i don't see them battling for the spot... unless marshall does a ken lucas, he's got that position nailed down. munnerlyn starting would mean absolute rape

I hope he stays. It might be a way to find out his market value. Hopefully, a deal with him could be worked out that is good for the panthers and Marshall. He may think his value is one thing while the panthers think it is something else.

last year he was open that he wanted a fat contract.

Remember the intended Martin to be a CB, they moved him to saftey because of injuries even though he wasn't that impressive at CB. They'll still might move him back over.

I wish we would get big body to go on the outside. Marshall and Munnerlyn are suited to the nickle. Marshall is great as a nickelback because we don't give up much in run D when we go to nickel. He gets taken advantage of by bigger guys.

It was a dumb move as we don't have a reliable backup. Unless we plan on making a move for Dunta Robinson, we are not going to find a CB in the 2nd round that will be as good as Marshall.

Pretty pissed..

Umm...the captain would like to say something about that. I personally don't think Munnerlyn played badly at all last year and don't forget we still have Sherrod Martin we could insert at FS and have Godfrey play corner or vice versa.

    • Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.
    • Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?  
    • When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
