cool. do it against a NFL defense.

71% FG% in college.

Hope he replaces Gano.

He kicks in clutch situations. At the Combine, he was the only kicker that made all his assignments while everyone else choked under the pressure - including that supposed "best kicker from college".

He's adding healthy competition, and that's all that matters. Sure, I joked around a bit by overexaggerating him kicking in the dome, but Butker has shown he's a pretty darn good kicker, especially last year.

lol move dem goalposts

cause obviously hitting a 50 yarder against a mediocre Georgia team (that had no DL drafted) is the same as hitting one against a NFL DL. 

Gano hit 90% of his FG's at FSU and went 5-5 from 50. And yet here we are talking about a 7th round pick potentially replacing him. 

Do it when it counts. I'm not impressed with kicking from a tee.

You could make this argument for every single rookie in the NFL right now, but you're wasting your energy on a 7th round kicker. Considering the rules protecting the kicker, I'd say there's very little difference in college and nfl.

Aguayo went 75% from 40-49 in college and 100% from within 40. In the NFL he's 90% from within 40 and 40% from 40-49. There is a difference between college and NFL at every position.

This thread is the equivalent of making a thread showing Curtis Samuel making one handed catches from a JUGS machine. It's cool to see he's doing well but it means nothing.

It seems extremely important to you that you win this critical internet argument.

Someone tell me, honestly.

How the fug is a college Dline coming at you any different from an NFL coming at you full speed? They never hit you as long as you pass the very basic fundamental aspects of being a kicker.

Only difference is the size of the football. Nothing more.

You must be new to all of this.

 

What part of offseason do you not understand?

You can say one moment is bigger than the other, but when you're standing on that field about to kick a game winning or overtime field goal at any level, it's the biggest moment in your life until you get to the next one. 

He's just mad because I provided an obvious example of what he was asking for, and then he had to start sliding the goal posts around like a suburban brat.

My point is Georgia's DL is worse than say the Falcons or another team we will face. You could argue that the Panthers OL is better than any college OL which would be fair. Essentially my point was a kicker's performance in college has no correlation with NFL success.

    • Rumors are the team is in fact done with Ikem. So it was going to be a LT, just depended on which one got to them at 19. 
    • I have not read the entire thread, and I realize this is fluff to a degree, but it was recorded in real time.  Here are 10 things that stood out to me: 1. Morgan wrote down (before day 3) the first three day 3 picks.  (Lee, Hecht, and Wheatley).  I was never fond of the Morgan hiring as GM.  I thought he was a lazy selection and I questioned his ability to match wits with some of the best GMs in the NFL.  Not any more. Morgan OWNED this draft.  He knew which players were good fits and when they would be bargains, and he got bargains.  I am thoroughly excited about every player. 2. Canales said (about Hecht, a 5th rounder):  "He has a real chance to start."   Morgan said the same thing about Freeling. While I do not expect either to start day 1, it looks to me like we drafted 40% of our starting OL in 2026.  I think we will sign Ickey to a deal and play him at RG, allowing us to escape the Robert Hunt contract in 2027.  Of course that is conditional, and Ickey could replace Moton instead, but if he fully recovers, we are looking at a better RG/RT than he was a LT--which was average.  3. When Morgan said to second-round DT Hunter, "Ready to play beside Derrick Brown?"  Based on personalities, one calm and soft spoken (for the Most part, Brown is) and the other talkative and openly enthusiastic, it reminded me of Brentson Buckner and Kris Jenkins.   4.  Perhaps the steal of the draft was Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II.  Clearly the Panthers felt that they passed on him when they took Hunter in round 2.  They mentioned his skill set (able to attack on "all three levels.")  This sent me back to watching film. He has speed, hands, and he produced without a great QB. I think he could be great in the NFL.  When  5. Tepper was a bit more involved than I would like, but he seems to be very confident in Morgan.  If I were the owner, I would be doing the same thing.  Canales was also somewhat of a background character--everyone understood his role and stayed in his lane.   6.  I am also very interested in the quantitative analytics aspect of the draft room.  (something like, "He has a 94% chance of being there at pick 55, and a 38% chance of being there at 87). I would like to know their formula, because it seemed to be spot on. 7.  BPA?  Not really.  They had a shopping list and seemed to be targeting the players they selected. I realize other players were edited out, but I was impressed how they knew, by round, who they wanted and if there were multiple options sitting there, they traded back. 8.  Evero (I think) called Lee a candidate that would serve as the "#3 CB."  Morgan describes his size as a plus (Long). Strong praise for a 4th rounder.  If so, we have Thornton coming off injury who played well as an UDFA rookie and they will battle it out to become Jackson's replacement after the 2026 season, assuming the Panthers do not extend him (he turns 30 in 7 months.O 9.  I think we could realistically see every one of these draft picks play this season, and I believe most could start by next year--Realistically, Freeling, Hunter, Hecht, and Brazzell could all be starting or key rotational pieces this year.  I see Lee and Wheatley getting special teams reps and both could be used this season more than expected.   10.  Kuwatch seemed to be predetermined with the final pick, probably because he can add something special to special teams.   He and Bam Martin Scott will fight it out for the 4th ILB position, so it will probably come down to special teams--and Kuwatch stands out there.  Imagine an ILB with a 46.5 vertical (not a typo) on the FG block team.  Kuwatch has an 8.85 RAS score vs. Martin-Scott's 7.5.  
    • They did mention Bain as the pick if he fell but didnt seem confident that would be the case.
