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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By mccjeff · Posted

      Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
