Fitzgerald on Gamble: "I'm glad he wasn't following me around"

When asked if he was surprised the Panthers didn't use their top cornerback, Chris Gamble, on him in man-to-man coverage in the first half, Fitzgerald said:

“They didn't show (that) all year. No matter who they played, (their cornerbacks) always stayed on their sides. Chris Gamble is a phenomenal talent and I'm glad he wasn't following me around.”

Intresting , especially since it's come directly from Fitz. It does add to the belief here that Gamble should be covering all opposing number one recievers.

After reading some of the things they say in that article, I find it ironic they have the nerve to claim the Panthers were arrogant going into that game.

I was rooting for them to win it all, but after reading that I hope they get absolutely demolished.

not me. I will never root for a Squeelers win. Not even over the Cowgirls.

If we were in their position I'd still be talking sh*t today also. To victor go the spoils.

Yep, I'd probably have a word or two to say about the situation if I was a Cardinal, especially after the manner in which they beat the Panthers at home.

Well, if they kept making mental mistakes while doing the same thing all year, which is an oversimplification in the first place, then what makes you think that changing everything for one game would have helped matters?

Hell, it's not like they were gonna overcome 6 turnovers by the offense anyway.

    • I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.
    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
