I’m not sure if Cincinnati rookies Andy Dalton and A.J. Green are going to be the NFL’s next great quarterback and receiver or if Carolina cornerback Chris Gamble is totally washed up.

GambleI’m leaning toward the latter after watching Gamble get beat badly twice by Green in Carolina's 24-13 loss in Thursday night’s exhibition game. It got so bad that Cincinnati broadcaster Anthony Munoz joked that Gamble was seen being escorted to the locker room to have aloe applied to his burns.

Awful. But then again i thought the insult was earned. Gamble was a embarassment to every vet corner in the NFL last night. He picked a awful season when we have no number 2 corner to say"hey coach i might be washed up".

I got to watch it yesterday with the Cincy broadcasters. Definitely heard that statement. Another one that he made was that he was loving seeing majority of Panther players on the ground after each play (said this while we were on D). Insinuating that the Bengals Oline was manhandling not only the DL but LB as well.

has gamble really ever been all that great though? He looked good at Ohio State but has never turned into that player i hoped he would be when drafted. You could more than likelyt replace him with an average corner and not notice any drop off in production except having much less to pay in salary.

His first 2 or 3 years in the the league he was. After that, not so much.

would there be a way that some team could be stupid enough to trade for this dud? i mean if he is gonna get toasted every damn play for 3 years straight anyhow why not put in somebody you only have to pay a minimum too? Heck, im pretty sure my grandma could cover better than this guy these days.

there wasn't much I could say to back up Gamble.. dude shouldn't have been torched on both of those plays.

Gamble looked like a fool when Green caught that pass out of bounds.. no way that should have happened, help over the top or not..

the TD score was just as bad.. dude was right there to make a play, but got burnt instead...

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
