Gamble doubtful

It's not like if we lost him we would lose a Beason or Davis, even a Charles Johnson on defense.

Disagree 100%. Losing a starting CB or a starting DE is more significant than losing a starting LB. Don't confuse popularity with value on the field.

There is a reason that good CB's and DE's get paid more on average than good LB's.

In my opinion having a good starting LB can make it easier on the secondary. There is a ton of assignments that a LB has to carry out and if you have one over-pursuing, doesn't have good vision or can read plays, will definetly make it a long day for the secondary. I do agree with you that losing a starting CB would be bad but not impossible to overcome. Our starting corners during the superbowl were mediocre in Ricky Manning JR. and Reggie Howard. I won't say Gamble is complete garbage, he has played better this year, I just don't see where you can call him great. Being alot of people are set on the "rebuilding" it would be nice to see what the younger cats can do though if Gamble is out.

ugh

I wouldn't really worry about it too much. All you have to do is jam our receivers at the line...and that's pretty much the end of it. Our WR's are the weakness on this team. Pathetic is the word I would use to describe them. :mad:

    • Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?
    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
