just how good is gamble? how much is he thrown at?

[I am Hubby]

i had to move that until alst year anyway to the end. last year he didn't show professionalism and did enough complaining that he got benched.

hopefully he's past that, but he sure didn't do himself or the team any favors.

I am not sure where his frustration came from last year, whether is was just an injury thing, or the coaching staff, or something else entirely. All I know is that he wasn't his normal self. It really was like he would have rather been somewhere else, because he seemed like a different Gamble. Or at least in my eyes anyway.

I too am hopeful the new coaching staff, with a new scheme, will bring out the old Gamble. Because we could sure use his skills in the secondary. He can be an asset, and I truly believe that.

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!

I know its not Panther related, but I was surprised at Arenas in the bottom list

Isnt Nnamdi like 30? Why would you want to pay a guy a huge chunk of our cap whos already 30? I respect the fact that he is the best corner in the league or one of the top 3 or 4 at the very least, but another 30 year old corner is not the direction I expect to see this team going.

Im not sure if some of you guys are being realistic (with yourselves) about how many wins we will put up this year. Worst to first is possible in the NFL but still nigh fuggin impossible. Find us someone young to get pumped about. . forget about Aso, aint gonna happen.

EDIT: I guess the question to ask you guys who want Aso so badly is, how many wins can we put up if Aso is on our team? Take a look at the schedule and work it out.

A couple of items that may be skewing this statistic.

1) as someone mentioned maybe teams viewed our other CB/S as weak so didn't need to go to Gamble. Richard Marshall is in the bottom 6 for receptions allowed

2) Maybe teams threw more to the RB or into LB coverage against the panthers. In other words they didn't need to go deep to score on us so why bother.

3) Maybe Gamble was used in a blitz scheme more often? Doubt that one though

4) Was Gamble subbed out on key throwing plays?

5) How often was gamble double teaming someone?

Its an interesting statistic either way

I like where youre coming from, but I think when I listen to corners talk about where they rank themselves they often will sight how often they had help from the safeties. If you recall game 1 of last year. Tom Coughlin kicked us in the nuts on the first play by going after our safeties.

It doesnt matter what job you have, if you are part of a team and you know someone is going to fug up, you tend to want to compensate for them (Especially if youre a leader). Most times it will cost you plenty of risk to do so. The NFL doesnt seem to be forgiving compared to other sports in this respect either. These guys get it pretty close to perfect execution on every play. Get out of position or be over aggressive. . pay the piper.

Bump. I guess the numbers really didnt lie. ;)

Props to Gamble for having a great year so far.

Every time I turn my computer off, instead of it saying "Shut Down", it says "Chris Gamble".
