Chris Gamble was Benched?

Because they do...Richard Marshall was the rotten CB lying on the ground when we picked him.

Ask Baltimore what orchard they picked theirs from. Apparently its abundant.

1. Marshall is a pretty good corner. The negative opinion of him on this board is based on two or three bad games from a season in which every person on our team has had bad games.

2. Baltimore does not have a shut down corner so I have no idea what you're talking about.

3. There are less than five shut down corners in the NFL. Far from abundant.

1. Don't you just love mediocrity?

2. Yea, for some reason I was thinkin "entire secondary".

3.Less than five? Aso, Bailey, Samuel, Finnegan, Revis, Woodson, and I could keep going...

Edit: Greer, Leon Hall, Rodgers Cromartie....

Aso, Revis, Woodson. You could argue for one or two more of these guys but to call each one of them a "shut down corner" is an exaggeration.

Gamble is way overpaid for what he is to us. He is marginal at best. The guy is forever getting burnt on something. He is slightly better than Marshall. he probably has good trade value though. I would for sure trade his ass for a second rounder. This guy takes up way to much cap space and aint worth it in the end.

Interesting take on Gamble's benching from rotoworld.com:

Gamble is Carolina's top cover corner, but also one of the poorest tacklers at his position in the league. Against a Browns team that struggles horribly to pass but is great on the ground, it didn't make much sense to use Gamble as an every-down player. He should be back on the first team next week.

Part of me is thinking that if Luck is not available with our 1st pick, Patrick Peterson or the kid from Nebraska would make sense. If Gamble were to be traded, it would be HUGE to get our 2nd rounder back, though I'm not so sure we could even get a second for him.

But hopefully Luck is available.

People in here talking about trading Gamble...and then what?!! We're screwed if that happens. We're already going to lose Marshall, we cant afford to lose Gamble also. Gamble may be in a lil slump right now, but he's still our best corner and has been pretty good for us over the years. It also helps that he's still pretty young.

LOL, Gamble is a poor tackler though

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
