Kicks from last night: Butker 5 , Gano 1

Sure does seem like the Panthers are wanting to get one final look at Butker before making a decision, huh?

 

Maybe last night actually did have an effect on the roster. 

Maybe. Another possibility is they knew they are planning to cut Butker and wanted him to get as much film as possible to catch on with another team.

I hate that this is even a debate. It should be Butker over Gano easily. He has a strong leg and is already more accurate. Not to mention that he is 10 years younger than Gano. I know age doesn't usually matter, but it shows that Butker already has traits of an NFL kicker and will continue to get better. Gano can't even be consistent on extra points. How is this a debate again?

Yeah but all Butker did was kick off and kick an extra point.

He made the extra point kicks. Gano is still trying to figure out how the kid did it.

Gano has missed 6 extra point kicks the last two seasons. 6! For what should be a chip shot everytime.

You get paid to do one thing... Make kicks. And you can't even do that. 

He's paid for two things. The other is to kick it out of the end zone. Rivera got burned too many times with crappy kickoff coverage his first few seasons here. He wants the other team to start on the 25 every time.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
