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

People are talking about trading just about every player on our team right now that has any trade value. The general consensus is we should go after free agents which we have historically never done or trade good to great proven players for unproven draft picks. It is amazing isn't it. Trust me if I hear one more trade this player talk I think I am going to get sick. We have cut all the dead weight and arguably a little more than that. We don't need to trade anyone at this point. The guys we have left are pretty darn good and would be starters on any other team.

Tell me... How does Richard Marshalls jock smell?

I never said that Richard Marshall was anything better than solid, but way to be a douche anyway. I just think it's incredibly ignorant for everyone on the forum to say that Richard Marshall "sucks" when he's actually pretty good.

Marshall won't be back next year, Gamble probably will, but losing both could be easily replaced.

Easily replaced by who? Munnerlyn may or may not be a starting corner, but after him we have no one competent. So we're going to bank on drafting a rookie that can start, or hope that there's a good FA CB that wants to come here?

Oh wait, I forgot that we can just go shake the magic shut-down corner tree whenever we want. :rolleyes:

From Joe Person's twitter:

Panthers DE Everette Brown indicated CB Chris Gamble's benching at Cleveland was related to his absence from a practice last week.

and

Brown on Gamble: "That’s 1 of those things where he made an out-of-mind decision. He came back the next day and apologized ...

So it sounds like Gamble may have decided to give himself the day off on Wednesday and that's why he was benched (sort of).

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      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 offense trending upward given the investments we've made. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
