you can't count being on IR as earning his check.

So according to you every high paid player should be cut if they end up going on IR? Obviously your proving that you rather sit down and crunch how much money a player deserves every single time they step on the field rather than focus on just winning.

You have to have the players on the field to focus on winning. Gamble has been injured and can't live up to that contract. He hasn't made an impact to deserve that contract. We know what he HAS done for us, but what is he doing NOW. There are a few more players on this team who are in Gamble's shoes right now as well.

Um, I responded that Gamble being on IR in 2012 meant it couldn't be claimed he played at a high level and earned his check in 2012.

Not sure how you just connected your dots to get that

I'm not quite sure about the rules. is there a penalty for a team contacting a player thats still under contract with another team. Wondering if Carolina is delaying cutting gamble to the absolute final minute to try and catch a team doing just that and maybe receive compensation. Cutting Gamble now does nothing. As long as hes cut before the season begins.

What are you talking about? He was a top 3 corner in the league statistically before he got hurt in 2012, but im sure you werent around when that was discussed.

Umm afte the good news with cap raise and restructures of Olsen and release of Ron Edwards I don't think Gamble will be going anywhere

we have to resign our free agents, shop some free agents and eventually have money set aside for draft picks. Gamble might make the roster march 12th to be shopped around but he won't be here next season without a big pay cut.

Gamble will still be here next year. He is one of our top 3 defensive players and all of you want to cut him?? Like I said in another thread, if we was obvious of a cut, he would be gone. The team wants to keep him.

Johnson Hardy and Keuchly are all better than Gamble, when healthy so are Beason and Davis.

So how is he one of our top three defensive players?

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
