Lloyd's as FG Kicker

I was looking at the pics from the Observer and notice one picture with Baker holding and Lloyds kicking a field goal. The thought of him kicking FG's for us is very intriguing. We have John Kasay arguable one of the greatest kickers ever to play the game. But even John cannot kick forever. It would seem to me that Lloyd could learn from the master himself. Has anyone been watching this action? Does Lloyd have what it takes to be accurate like Kasay.

Sometimes instead of walking off the field outside of Kasay's range. Why not give Lloyd a chance to nail one from 55-65 yds. Granted we would have to prevent a run back if he missed. But I don't see thunderfoot leaving too many kicks inbound to play. Make sure time will expire during the kick so the opposing team cannot do a hail mary and reverse the strategy.

I think he has the foot to break the NFL record. With the Master teaching him.. WHY NOT?

i haven't seen it myself CBD, but a lot of the people doin camp updates have said that Lloyd has been kicking some FGs, and that he has been putting them right down the middle.

then he must have made some MAJOR adjustments since I watched him this past spring in OTA's...

I am one who saw him kick 10 in a row through the uprights from 45 or 50 yards with no problem on Friday. Obviously it isn't even close to seeing him kick in a game with the added pressure, but they definitely weren't knuckling and some would have been good from 60 yards. Now last year I would totally agree his field goal kicking was not good at all.

Seriously....Down by 2 at the end of the game. Within 60 -70 yds. Do you throw the Hail Mary? or Do you give Lloyd a chance to win it? The chances of it getting blocked are high as the trajectory would have to be a drive. But He has the power to it.

I would think this percentage is higher then throwing a Hail Mary.

Agreed?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
