Although he had help over the top I though he did a very good job on Fitz, only gave up three receptions to perhaps the best WR in the game.

He also had a couple of nice tackles against the run right around the LOS. Impressed with him, really thought Fitz would kill us.

Secondary as a whole played pretty well if you take away the blown coverages. Better than I anticipated.

He played well but that last completion he gave up was inexcusable... I could see that poo coming before the ball was even snapped. There was no question they were going to Fitz and Gamble let him run right by....

that last completion was NOT Gamble's fault.

He got a decent jam at the LOS and was right there with Fitz. It was a beautifully thrown ball and the safety was late coming over.

He wasn't right there or he could have made a play on the ball....Fitz had him beat by two steps. Maybe that's nitpicking but for as much money as Gamble is getting paid I think it's fair to nitpick....

Fitz runs by a lot of people. You have to have help on that type of route and the help got there late. Not that Gamble played well on that play, but with a guy like Fitz, you just hope to contain him, you can't really shut him down.

Fwiw, the play turned out to be irrelevant anyway. We still got the ball in scoring position with plenty of time, but failed to get it in the endzone.

He WAS right there with Fitz....the BEST WR in the game.

Your expectation of a corner completely shutting down the best WR in the game on every play is laughable. You MUST have saftey help on that route...and Sherod Martin was late coming over.

Gamble did a very nice job on Fitz today.

      SC won the ACC title the week before in Clemsons own house. Committee was worried about optics over talent.

      Brooks wasn’t the worst offensive draft mistake the panthers made this year

      It's crazy how folks on the huddle can draft better than our highly paid scouts.  I know I saw several mocks with the first 3 selections going Ladd, Frazier and Wilson like the above post.  Heck, one of them may have been mine.  It seems that the scouts go into paralysis by analysis.  Ladd might not be the ideal weight or height, it's tabo to draft centers high, Wilson had past injuries.  All that said, those dudes just dominated at their respective positions. Our scouting department and Morgan need the K.I.S.S montra--keep it simple stupid. STOP overthinking it.

      Brooks wasn’t the worst offensive draft mistake the panthers made this year

      This team has long had an allergy to the obvious pick. They take an XL and think they can coach him up to be the next megaton or DK. Brooks to be the next Peterson. Burns to be the next LT. They pick dudes and play them outside of their natural position. They draft for need, get desperate, pick the flawed guy, and the results speak for themselves. They go to the store jonesing for a ribeye, the store is sold out except for the ‘manager’s special’ … and end up with a toilet of puke later that night…  whereas the filet that was sitting right next to it got some other dude laid.  The obvious pick with no need of coaching up has done them pretty well. Moose. Peppers. Kuechly. Davis. Gross. Jenkins, etc.  Sometimes obvious is just obvious. Consistently missing on first and second rounders gets them exactly where they are. Loser teams, devoid of talent and a revolving door at head coach.  WR: Pick the guy who can catch the damn ball. DE: pick the guy who can play the run well. Pass rush is nice, but playing the run is better.  center: smart big guy who doesn’t miss assignments.  tackle: good pass protector first. Run blocker second. If you have a really good QB and receivers that can catch, the running game will open itself up by default.    It’s not THAT hard, right? Diamonds in the rough are usually only quartz. Stop picking up dudes whose flaw is THE primary skill required for their position, thinking that you’ve got some sort of magical staff. Go BPA with the healthy guy who just flat out gets it done better than anyone else still available…. Except for a RB or special teamer. Yes BPA is boring, but it stacks the team with legit talent.    That’s what I’m going to call their reaches from now on. The f-in manager’s special. Break out the cast iron griddle, Montreal steak seasoning, and some avocado oil.
