Should we look at bringing in a new kicker this offseason? Or stick with Gano?

GG is having a bad year. He is 29/35 so far this season.

Last season, he was better at 24/27, and 9/11 the previous year. In 2010, he went 24/35 with Washington.

I believe we would have won 1-2 more games this season if he made FGs.

FG's should almost be automatic. I am not expecting perfection but we can't miss out on key plays like that.

Hopefully we bring in a new ST coach this off season so that he can figure it out.

i won't flip out just yet. last night was really poor kicking conditions… gross drippy january rain and a field to match. i think replacing that turd of an offensive coordinator and getting some more talent in the trenches will do wonders for a team that shouldn't have to rely on so many clutch field goals in the first place.

He's a missed a few, but you can't expect to keep winning games by trying for 50+ yard field goals.

 

I'm more concerned about actually scoring touchdowns in the red zone at this point.

 

Besides, we knew he had been inconsisent in his career when we extended him. Can't really get all mad about it now, most praised the move.

To be fair and add a little perspective, 5 of his 6 misses were at 40+ yards and in 2013, 2 of his 3 misses were also at 40+ yards.

 

Throughout his career, the majority of his misses were at the 40+ range, and this year he was asked to make more attempts from 40+ (12 attempts) than 2012 and 2013 combined (10 attempts).

 

So, in reality, he's not missing any more this year than he missed the previous 2 years, it's just been done in a shorter span of time because he's been called on twice as much to make the attempts.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
