Richard Marshall = Worst Starting CB in 2010 season?

Sorry didn't see this posted. Getting rid of this guy will seriously help out D.. yikes.

The worst

Richard Marshall(notes), Carolina Panthers: 71.3%, 72 burns on 101 targets, 765 yards, 5 TD, 7 passes defensed

Marshall's been doing the contract dance with the Panthers for a few years now, but his numbers just don't justify the inflated opinion. Carolina was horrid last year, but its front seven was surprisingly good, leaving most of the blame for these stats on the man himself.

I only watched a couple Houston Texans games, but I don't think anybody was playing worse coverage than Kareem Jackson, Glover Quinn, and company. I haven't checked the stats, but those guys were terrible.

Get this guy the fug outta here, stat.

Marshall allowed 71.3% of the passes thrown to him to be caught... that is horrid. It's almost like he is transparent. We have been playing defense with 10 guys on the field.

I agree Richard Marshall was pretty average most of last season, but towards the end of the season when Gamble was out, Marshall became a little more solid. Can the Panthers afford to hold on to a corner that takes time to warm up? I doubt it but under the new coaching with Ron Meeks focused on the db's then I can't say if Marhshall would be a bust.

Anyway's, Im sure Mr Meeks will be vocal on who he wants in the secondary.

I was mildly surprised to see that Gamble wasn't right behind him.

Hmm, this is a interesting stat, reminds me of the offseason when we cut Ken Lucas. Would you believe this is partly due to the fact that we had Sherrod Martin playing safety on his side of the field?

God Awful

IMO Gamble is much better than most fans give him credit for. That said, having someone performing as poorly as Marshall last year on the other side probably kept him out of the spotlight :)

Gamble is a very solid corner, it just seems like when he fugs up its always something huge....maybe because he is usually on their best wide-out....god I still get chills from Larry in 08

Marshall is not close to the worst starting cb in the league. I hate these kind of stats, too many variables are involved. He did play bad, so did most of everyone else too.

Marshall can not justify the contract he wants with these statistics. That much is certain.

It's because Gamble is a good cornerback.
