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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      LOL, I tried to do this also....But I never found enough to make a guess.

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Basbear · Posted

      gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
