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.

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
