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.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
