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 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.

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 :)

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.

    • I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda? 
    • These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football. 
    • Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
