Be more pissed that over Butker’s rookie contract we are likely to spend an extra $14M. I wonder if that would have been a nice for FA?

yeah I was pissed about that but moved on because I only have a limited daily allowance of how pissed my brain can tolerate

 

theres a lot to be pissed about with the panthers recently

If we gave up Butker to have Gano for one year, and then having him walk, would piss me the fug off

Totally get this feeling, and I've had similar thoughts.  It would be nice to have a kicker on a rookie contract rather than an expensive veteran deal.  However, while it's easy to complain now that Butker has had a great season, the truth is that he was very inconsistent in training camp...far more so than Gano.  And he only had two kicking opportunities (I believe) in preseason games, which were not overly long.  So, he really didn't show any signs that we should expect this kind of season from him. 

To keep him over Gano would have been hoping that he could become more consistent.  Could you imaging this fan base if we had kept Butker instead and he continued to be as inconsistent as he was in camp while Gano had the season he just had?  It would have gotten real ugly real quick.
