I don't understand why people are poo pooing this. Did you all expect to sign a shut down corner off the waiver wire? As for the kicker, Gano is perfect so far and that's all we have to go on for this season, just like those two FG's by Butker were all we had to go on with him. For all we know, Butker could be terrible.

Perfect from under 40-impressive for a high schooler!  Butker was 8-8 from 40+ at GT, and perfect from 40+ in the preseason and at fanfest.  

This situation is still a cluster of epic proportions.

It's really not that bad. Butker will probably clear waivers and be on our PS this time tomorrow anyway. In the meantime we got a good back up who can play corner, nickel and safety.

This guy gives us some very nice depth at CB. We have currently have 6 corners on our roster.

    Which is why I agree with those that have mentioned him as a possible safety. Physical corner with trouble in man coverage just screams safety, where his speed,  or lack there of, would be much less of an issue.

I'm not sure who to be mad at, but I do know that anytime you draft a kicker, he makes all of his kicks in preseason, and you cut him...something went very wrong somewhere.

Yeah, Hurney is in charge again. That's what went wrong.

I would just like to say, Gano had a broken bone in his plant foot last year. Considering the circumstances, I'd say he did a fine job.

 

If Gano broke his foot in week one, we shoulda IR'd his ass and got a kicker that was healthy. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know he know he didn't break his foot in week one, so that excuse doesn't hold water for me.

LOL. Well then maybe you should get you a cup that does not have a hole in it.

 

I would also like to add that once Gano was finally healthy, he finished the year by hitting 11 of his last 12 kicks. But I know that will mean nothing to those fans who fear teh Gano.

 

He ain't perfect. But he ain't worth having an aneurysm over either.

Meh. He's worth a look, I suppose, but I'm not expecting much. I Remember him being beaten badly against the Falcons in the NFC Championship back in January.

Maybe, as some have suggested, he's be a better fit at safety, but there are better options available if we're looking to add safety depth than a disappointing former UDFA who would have to not only learn a new defense, but also a new position before being of any real use to us.

Will Blackmon, for example, is still a free agent after being cut by the Redskins, and would provide legit solid/experienced depth.

TBH, I would much rather us have just signed BlaAlex Armah to the main roster if we were going to cut a kicker.

You're right, I'll just save that aneurysm when he shanks a clutch kick in the playoffs for us.

So people are getting pissy that Hurney is trying to sure up a position of need in place of a kicked that we're very unlikely to be playing at any point this season? This makes sense... 

I think most are getting pissy because we cut the wrong kicker. 

As far as Gunter, if getting burned by Julio Jones makes you a bust, there wouldn't anyone left in the nfl to play in the secondary. As much as I really, really hate the falcons, Jones is frikin beast!

Projecting failure on future events. Fear, she is a powerful mistress.

 

How about this for a projection? What if Gano misses so many kicks this year, that we totally miss the Playoffs? Man, wouldn't that be cool?

 

Or how about this one? What if, by the grace of all that is holy. Gano actually has a good year? Man, that would be the pits huh?

Projecting failure on future events based on past performance.  If at any time other than game time we can't discuss the future of the team, then no one would log on.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
