Kasay holds many NFL records as a placekicker. He is third all-time for field goals made from 50+ yards and is the only person to complete four field goals from 46+ yards in a single game.

Field Goals Made 386

Field Goals Attempted 473

Field Goals % 81.6

Long Field Goal 56

ill find out some of those other records.

Kasay is the best kicker in league history. When you look at number of attempts and attempts made from every 10 yard category, he is the best. Followed by Jason Hanson. However, the NFL Hall of Fame doesn't focus that much on kickers. If they decide to ever induct another kicker, they will most likely induct someone that had more hype (for whatever reason) like Morten Andersen or Gary Anderson.

Just because you're a kicker doesn't mean that you don't deserve to be a Hofer. That being said, Kasay does have that glaring screw-up on his record, and it is for that reason that I don't know if he'd have a realistic chance, even if kickers were given regular consideration. There is always hope.

Until Kasay wins a superbowl, the fact that he kicked that infamous kickoff out of bounds alone, is enough to keep him out

I think the world of Kasay, but the fact is, he just isn't HoF bound.

1. Kickers don't make it into the HoF. Only punters have a smaller shot at it.

2. Morten Anderson has a better shot at it, with the length of his career, the number of teams he has played for and the guy is beloved of many sports writers and players. (He has a wicked sense of humor).

3. From this generation of kickers, Viniateri is the only one who has a shot, and he's got those Super Bowl wins. He's the prototype kicker of this age of the sport.

Kasay's a great guy and I wouldn't want to ever see another kicker displace him from our beloved team, but I don't believe there is any way that he is Canton bound.

As Peter King once wrote, "If there was a Hall of Darn Good Players..."

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
