We are 4 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at former preseason backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert.Garrett Gilbert Youth Greg Van Roten Jersey , QuarterbackBioHeight: 6’4”Weight: 230 lbsAge: 27College: TexasNFL Experience: 4 yearsGarrett Gilbert was, until recently, in line for backup quarterback duties behind Cam Newton until he got hit by one big Taylor Heinecke freight train during the preseason. He put up a good fight, but ultimately Heinecke brings more to the table in terms of mobility, and only gives up a little to Gilbert from a pure passing perspective. Unfortunately for Garrett, the team appears to have seen enough of him, electing to put 4th string QB Kyle Allen on the practice squad rather than continue to roll with him. Gilbert is now currently a free agent.It’s a shame that the team didn’t have a crystal ball following training camp last season http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-david-mayo-jersey , because rather than keep three quarterbacks on the roster, they could have just parted ways with Gilbert then and had the space to keep Harrison Butker instead. But hey... that’s none of my business.NFL Monday Night Football open game thread We’ve got Monday Night Football’s yearly Week 1 doubleheader on tap tonight, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!At 7:10 p.m. ET, the Lions host the Jets, which should be a pretty good game that the Lions should win. They’re at home so they should have an advantage, but don’t rule the Jets out.At 10:20 p.m. ET, the Raiders host the Rams Christian McCaffrey Jersey , and let me tell you somethin’ man I really like what the Rams are doing with the football. Todd Gurley is a machine, man, and I think that if Sean McVay can keep feeding the beast he’ll score lots of touchdowns this season, you know what I’m sayin’? I tell you what man, that Sean McVay is a really good coach and I don’t know if the Raiders will be able to stop him. I just love what he’s doing over there, man. Spider 2 Y Banana.
