"6. Chris Gamble, Panthers CB: The new rules should help Gamble because the Panthers are thin at cornerback. Still, he has to show something in camp to be worth $6.24 million in 2011."

I doubt he gets cut this year, but CG does not fit the description of the Jim Johnson 4-3 CB. Gamble will be cut by next season, if not sooner, IMO.

Here is what they say about offensive players, if you are interested: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/21/24-offensive-players-that-could-get-cut/

One reason Marshall was so picked on was because Gamble was avoided. However, he will make a bunch of $$ next year and the JJ 4-3 CB is a tackler as a general stereotype. PFT is terrible, but Florio knows if he stirs the hornet's nest it increases the traffic on his site. However, you cannot think that Gamble is earning his salary, regardless of whether he is the best we have. We drafted an injured CB who could spend the year on IR and be in jail by 2012. Gamble will not be going anywhere, but his days are numbered.

His days may be numbered, but no this year. I cant argue that he makes too much, but i dont see him leaving for atleast a couple of years. Now if fox had stayed maybe not, cause of whatever happened last year. Over all i think gamble is deff better than just serviceable. he handles himself fine on the field.

Everytime you post a Florio article you are getting him "hits" which his bosses then look at and then justify that news doesnt have to be true, it can just be slung around like feces. They then pat Florio on the back.

So, I am going to assume that you love Florio and you think all of this is credible. . . This makes you equivalent to the unknown green substance on the underside of my balls. Gratz

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
