Josh Thomas is a guy I want to talk about

Our CB situation could get very interesting this offseason as there seems to be a growing chance Gamble will be cut. If he is we HAVE to go CB in round 1 or 2. Cutting Gamble saves money so I think it's a move we need to make.

Munnerlyn is a free agent and even if we keep him he's more of a nickel/3 guy

But Josh Thomas played well in my opinion and deserves a big opportunity next year. I think no matter what he played well enou to earn a shot to be the #2 guy. Am I crazy? He seems to play well in the run game and really thrived when he got his chance this year.

I like how our younger corners are developing. We proved we could win and play strong D without Gamble. I like him personally, but Josh Thomas is more physical, plays the press better, is younger, and cheaper. I actually don't think we have to go CB round 1 or 2 but maybe the mid rounds. We need an OT and a WR in the first two rounds.. If Cam's the future you have to protect him at all cost

Gamble's tackling has, relatively speaking, greatly improved the last 2 years and I hope they find a way to keep him. That said, Thomas is a player worth being excited about. If he can mature a bit and limit the penalties, he has a future on the field.

Wait, Gamble went on IR after week 7? And our defense kept getting better without him? And we finished with a top 10 unit?

Well we better not cut the man without spending a first on his replacement, obviously, his backups sucked donkey balls!1!!

Right now, our corbernacks consist of Gamble, Munnerlyn, Thomas, Norman and Dockery. I would certainly think about cutting Gamble and adding another veteran like Quintin Jammer and potentially drafting an additional corner. You'd probably get slightly better production than what you got this past season - for about $5 million less.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
