rookie or not, aj green has been widely considered to be the best talent at wr since megatron. i don't expect gamble to stop elite talent. if he had been beat so badly by jerome simpson on two different occasions i'd be a bit more concerned. he's not an incredible corner but he isn't the "washed up" piece of garbage you're all making him out to be.

Seriously? Did you watch the game? Hopefully you recorded it, b/c he was horrible!

You have the right to your opinion, but he was just embarrassing & he is taking up enough for us to sign 8-9 other corners (not that there would be roster space, but you get my drift) who could play as good or better than him...rookies included.

The DL & OL looked just as embarrassing as Gamble. The LBs looked embarrassing b/c of the DL's weakness too. This looks to be a very LONG season. I hope HUrney picks up some guys cut from other teams & cuts some of our b/c the talent is not there on our DL or DB.

derp yes i watched the game. of course he looked horrible on those plays (and others). i'm just saying that aj green is going to make a lot of average corners look terrible this year and in the years to come.

I don't disagree with you on that at all. The problem is that a lot of average WRs wil prbably make Gamble look terrible too.

I am very concerned about our CBs & DL, both impact 1 another & both look very weak thru 3 pre-season games.

I think it was half Gamble being vastly overrated......and half being WAY out of shape.

I expect Hardy to get abused when he first comes back....Hardy has literally played no football. You can't just insert him and expect him to be ready.

Gamble is a zone CB, and I think a very good one. If you watch his back pedal he really covers a lot of ground, and he his the height and hands to hang with taller recievers. But Gamble needs a good pass rush in a zone scheme to be effective. When the pass rush blows chunks, or you ask him to cover an elite reciever alone, bad things will happen. He's not a shut down CB, he's good zone CB.

I remember Gamble getting beat by Ocho Cinco that one year on 4th and 1..very similar to what was happening to him yesterday..i am pretty sure Marvin Lewis knew he could be him over the top if he had no safety help..and with us getting run on left in right we had to put the safety in the box..easy peasy. So pretty much have to have a saftey over the top of the teams best WR..what else is new?

Gamble got burned on the out of bounds catch by Green badly, but I actually thought he was in position on the TD and the ball was just perfectly thrown. I could be wrong from my low res stream, but that's what it looked like to me.

Do you remember the 2006 game against the Bengals? Panthers led late, had Cincy held to a 4th and 1 around the 40 yard line. The play action and Palmer heaves a bomb to that same corner, Chad Johnson catches it, in bounds, over #20.

He likes getting burnt in that stadium I guess.

gamble had good coverage on the td play. Give credit for a well thrown ball, and a receiver we sure could use on our team.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
