For three seasons gamble wasn’t even the best corner on the roster. 

I do not understand the gamble mythologizing and I never will. 

he was fine

Well we are at two ends of the debate here, I feel hes vastly underrated and you vastly over. For sure he would be on my all-time panther team, Id even list him as the #1 CB easy. He is like moton/kalil very quiet with very good steady long term play. He wasnt scared to tackle like many CBs are(bad technique tho). He finished 5th all-time and you know the MLB studs panther history has(hes above minter a tackle machine). he has 9 more INTs than 2nd place and 13 more than the next CB on the list. Most times he kept #1 WR in check, there were times he followed them. He had huge success rate in advance stats- in the 2011 season Gamble allowed a catch every 18.1 snaps in coverage. That's 2nd best in the NFL. QB's had a 45% completion rate when throwing at Gamble, which is 4th best in the league. He could play zone and man at the same good levels. Other CBs had better single seasons, but not careers.

It won't shock me if our corners this season are mainly UDFA guys.

This team could easily have a zero-win season. 😂poo.

Yeah with Barno and DJ Johnson starting as the edge rushers lol. I hope they do go that route and just fuging take it on the chin for a year

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
