Munnerlyn likely to start over Gamble.

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.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
