Here's the link to the article, http://www.derp/2011/5/23/2185316/chris-gamble-the-unfairly-critiqued-panther but what I'm actually wanting to show is from the comments section, explanation of Gamble being in Fox's doghouse last season:

It probably went something like this...

Fox: Why did you miss that tackle Chris? Dammit, you’re killing us.

Gamble: I dunno. It is what it is.

Fox: What did you just say to me?

Gamble: I said it is what it is.

Fox: That’s it…you’re not starting next week.

Gamble: Does that mean I’m “day to day”?

Fox: Oh, you think you’re cute don’t you? Alright, you’re not playing at all next week.

Gamble: Oh well, I guess I just picked a bad day to have a bad day.

Fox: You’re in the doghouse now Chris. Good luck getting out of it.

hilarious.

they are using the same article/data from PFF that the other thread is about, but this is telling right here...

Look no further than last year when Gamble missed significant time due to being in Coach Fox's doghouse. Gamble started 9 games in 2010, and look what happened to opponent's passing games:

- With Gamble on the field: 214.4 yards per game

- Without Gamble on the field: 245.5 yards per game

It's clear that the Carolina Panthers have a better passing defense with Gamble than without him, and we've seen that according to Pro Football Focus opposing QBs have an aversion to throwing to his side of the field. So, is Chris Gamble a 'lock down corner'? I'm not 100% sure, but I'd wager he's a lot closer than you may think he is.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
