As a Panther's fan I'm happy about it

Good for Gunt. He seemed to me to improve significantly late last season. After training under D'O and Williams, he needed time to get his sea legs.

 

[3rd-43]

Wasn't he a supreme liability at the end of last season and playoffs? He can play in the NFL and has improved dramatically, but I remember atlanta and Dallas picking on him relentlessly. Perhaps it was lack of help over the top, just don't want to rewrite history.

If I recall correctly, when Dallas bullied him it was because he was 1 on 1 with Dez. That's not a recipe for success for a not top tier CB.

They had him on an island vs some of the best WRs in the league. He grew up quickly. I think given the circumstances he performed well above expectations.

Great system for him to learn in

Not really a recipe for success for any corner in the league

Corn on one side, Gunter on the other.

He needs to be in that system. He is not a man to man corner. It was setting him up to fail when you put him on an island especially against Dez, Julio etc.

And while he did struggle in those games he did lockup a top 3 receiver in odell Beckham too and played well in other games

Cut today. Hope he gets picked up but might be the end of the road.
