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't do anyway.

We're in win now mode and gave up a 4th for Lee. He's gonna be our punter. I'm doubtful that he gets injured again.

Gettleman gave up the 4th to get Lee. Hurney isn't going to have any attachment to it.

Top dawg, your post is spot on. St bugs merely looks at net punting and takes nothing else into consideration which, thankfully, people who know a lot more than him and make the decisions that count do. Palardy is third in the NFL this preseason in punting with a 48 yard average. He has had better field position to work with as far as punting for distance is concerned.

What most of you fail to realize is that Mike had a bunch of short yardage punts (45-50-45 yard lines) that brought his average down last season. In the 8 games he played, he rarely had chances to boom the ball from deep in his own end. The Panthers coaches realize this - and people forget Mike led the nation his senior year at Tennessee in punts inside 20. Oh, yeah - as a lefty, the ball rotates off his foot differently - more difficult for returners to gauge than right footed punters.

Good post, thanks Mike .

I'm more interested in another Kicker on our team the PK to be exact. Are we ready to cut Gano yet.  Which ever one we cut is going to Tampa so I really don't want to give them our drafted kicker.  Anybody herd who is winning the battle in camp??

The Bucs signing Gano is a wet dream.  Anyone that's watched the Panthers for years hopes Butker gets the job.  He's been perfect in both games and Fanfest, Gano has not.

I have doubts. 

No real reason to play Lee in preseason all that much. It's not like he needs the experience. 

A guy like Andy Lee not being asked to kick in the preseason is often a sign that he's locked in, especially when you have a coach who's known to favor veterans.

Michael being 10 years younger than Lee, a lefty, cheaper than Lee, averaging 48 yards a punt in preseason, and reportingly punting ball for ball with Lee this preseason doesn't mean anything to you? Interesting.

A long time ago, the Panthers let go of a young, promising kicker named David Akers in favor of veteran John Kasay.

Akers later became one of the better, more reliable kickers in the NFL, so you could say it was a mistake, but Kasay also went on to kick for several years afterward and won us a lot of games. So was it really a big deal?

Specialists tend to last longer in the NFL than the average player.

That was 1997....literally no chance that Akers was going to beat out Kasay in 1997.  I don't even think he attempted a kick in preseason. 

He didn't land with an NFL team until 2000.

That's typical of young kickers and punters that aren't drafted. They'll bounce around in different camps until someone trusts them enough to keep them.

That'll likely be Palardy too.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
