Palardy pushing Lee according to Joe Person

Ron said he intended on getting both punters in the game against TN but there were only a couple of opportunities. Lee will start against the Jags. 

Rob also keeps saying there is a competition for that position. But I think Lee ultimately wins it. 

This competition is definitely closer than the kicker competition. 

I'd agree Lee probably wins it in the end. However, I feel like our coaching staff has their strategy mixed up. When you have 2 players without significant differences in skillset, they seem to always take the known veteran on the wrong side of their prime. I would prefer we take the younger guy with a longer future to go ahead and get them acclimated and train them up.

From a cap stance, cutting Lee just creates dead money this year, something like 2.3M, and does nothing for us. The savings are in 2018 when we save 1.9M with little dead money.

I have a hard time believing this...but I've been wrong probably more than I've been right when it comes to roster moves with Ron at the helm.

this would be the opposite of Ron's typical mantra which is holding on to vet players past their prime.

Wouldn't they want to see how he looks in game action coming off the injury? Obviously you'd never want your punter having to make the tackle but wouldn't the coaching staff at least want to see how he handles in game pressure to ensure we don't put a corpse back there? Don't need to make the tackle but rerouting the runner could be the difference between giving up a TD or not. 

Punting isn't like most positions. You aren't going to see major differences between practices and games. For a guy like Lee, the Panthers don't really need to see him perform in games. It is more likely he will get a few chances in the next game but that is just for Lee's sake, not the coaches.

This right here is sanjay's ideal roster:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/fantasy/2017/08/09/fantasy-football-position-rankings-top-50-tight-ends/552628001/

Three positions left, just enough room for a QB, kicker, and punter.

Oh lord here comes sanjay to claim we can save enough by cutting Lee to sign everyone else on the team to extensions.

 

Look at these assholes @Jeremy Igo 

I always said the money we save from the 3 cuts can go to the guarantee potion of a contract  maybe if you paid attention to the team you would see this coming. 

Good day to you douches

You specifically said we would save millions by cutting Lee. And continued after you were proven wrong. If yiu are going to call someone names, at least do it without changing your story.

I never said we would save millions by cutting Lee only  I gave the amount for cutting Lee, Gano and Dickson which would open up 6-7 million. 

You need to stop making things up , just because you lost an argument. 

Now go cry a river somewhere else

any time something says per Joe Person....I have my doubts.

Whatever dude. You know you said it, and were proved wrong. But I am done with you. Not wasting my time any more.

st bugs you have no idea what you are talking about - did you watch the shitty field position (for a punter) Palardy had to punt with last season? - half his punts were from the 50, greatly altering his average, through no fault of his own.  If you want to look at facts through rose-colored glasses and not from an introspective point of view why don't you look who had the worst average in the league last year on returns allowed per punt - it was Lee at almost 14 yards returned per punt - worst in the NFL before he was hurt - hang-time, anyone? And Palardy and Lee had the same amount of punts last season yet Lee had twice as many touchbacks. Since we are playing with statistics and all.

They could conceivably go with youth at kicker and punter and be right to do so. I would like to see Butker get a little more time in the next game too because we already know what Gano can do anyway.

Umm, elite is now the worst punter in the league last year? Lee was 2nd behind a guy who retired and Palardy was dead last for punters who punted enough. Gano had a better average but only punted once. Maybe Palardy has improved but they weren't close last year. 

I referred to him as a "bottom feeder" in the OP. The whole thread is based on his obvious improvement during this year's TC and preseason.
