per Yasinskas.

here’s nothing official yet because the Panthers are practicing at the University of Washington this afternoon as they adjust to the time zone. But indications from a team official are that cornerback Captain Munnerlyn (shoulder) probably will play and start ahead of Chris Gamble (fractured relationship with coach John Fox) for the second straight game. Guard Travelle Wharton (toe) looks likely to miss another game.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Yes, Gamble did quit on the team, and in my mind, quitting is absolutely unacceptable, but with that said, Gamble has been good player and a great locker room guy for a long time. We've never had any issues with him from a behavioral stand point-at least as far as we know-and there have been indications that Gamble walking out of practice was more than just football related.

So, I definitely agree with the decision to bench him last week, but this week, i don't know how I feel about it.

Did he quit on the team, or on Fox?

If Gambles head ain't in it, then Cap should start. He did great last week, let's see if he can build on it.

Agreed.

Don't write Munnerlyn off just because of his size, once upon a time there was a WR that was too short to play in the NFL...

Fox is being a jackass. I love Cap'n, but Gamble apologized for what he did wrong. With all the mistakes Godfrey and Marshall have made, and you punish Gamble 2 weeks in a row for something he apologized for (while he's making top CB money)???

May be another subtle shot at JR.

who?

The knock on Steve Smith coming out of Utah, was he was a hothead, small and fragile. Some figured he would make a good return guy, but most teams prefer 6 foot 2 or so. Steve Smith plays 6 inches taller than he is, and alot more physical than his weight may indicate.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
