So dumb.

Could’ve found a kicker off the street for peanuts. Gano is not reliable and this is just an example of this organization having no clue what they’re doing.

not dumb

Hahaha people are actually complimenting Hurney on this? They just made a guy who can't hit a clutch kick and missed a 25 yard field goal in the playoffs the second highest paid kicker in the league. Get the hell out of here with those compliments. Same ole garbage Hurney.

Thanks a lot "Tina Becker" (really Jerry)

Terrible. This shows how bad we fuged up in not keeping Butker. We just spent a 5th of our remaining cap space on a fuging kicker. Butker would be making less than a million this season.

Was the tag not cheaper than what he is getting annually now?

[Zaximus]

I guess I'm not upset over this but I'm upset we HAD to do it, when we could have had a rookie kicker for FAR less, that's just as good.

In his plant foot, but that happened at the beginning of December in the chargers game. You could take the 2nd Tampa game off the list above, but all of the other misses were while he was healthy.

you realize its more impacting on the kicker for it to be their plant foot right?  Not saying you dont realize that, I just want to clarify. I possibly reading your post incorrectly, but it comes off as you are stating "oh its just his plant foot"

You are misreading.  He is saying that his terrible year started much before the injury.

At the end of the day, most of us don't feel good when he comes out for a pressure-filled kick.  You can talk about accuracy percentage but you can't ignore the fact that he isn't taking nearly the amount of harder attempts than other kickers.

Touting him as the best kicker in the league is like bragging about taking Gretzky and the Kings to the Cup on NHL 93 with the icing and offsides off.

Hurney painted himself into a corner by being cute with Butker and Gano made him pay by having a career year during a contract season.  Now we are locked in to a guy for 4 years who will just be getting older and doesn't have a big leg to begin with.

This isn't the hill to die on in regards to knocking Hurney, but I can't understand anyone being happy with this either.

He was 10 for 10 between 40-49 yards which are your money kicks. He missed one from over 50 during the regular season and made a 58 yarder against New Orleans in the playoffs. Where exactly are all these harder attempts he didn't take?

Kasay kicked for us until the age of 40. Gano is 30 and just hitting his stride. I can't understand who has a clue, not being excited.

This is why I’m ok breaking the bank on Robinson or Watkins.

That money will be wasted on stupid sh!t like this if we don’t

Total points is a stupid statement unless it is in context to attempts made and missed and where they were attempted. If Zeurline only missed 2 and one was almost 60 then that miss doesn't mean much. Sounds like he is a valuable kicker as well. Particularly given how many he attempted.

Zeurlein was far and away the best kicker in the NFL last year. He was the league's all-pro kicker and he deserved it. He made 6 FGs over 50 last year and was damn near automatic.

I am not misreading. I was strictly referring to his opening comment.

I too am often excited when the Carolina Panthers make stupid salary cap decisions, and pay their players at the very tip top of said players range.

I used to brag to my friends all the time about us having two of the highest paid RB's in the league on the same team.  Also really rubbed it in their faces when we gave Jake a contract that made no sense.

 

Oh, I forgot about the James Anderson and Jon Beason contracts.  Gosh, glad we are back to the good ole days when I can brag about how highly paid JR keeps his guys.

[Rags]

Lol if you think it's just as easy to find something kicker off the street.

We've been spoiled by Kasy too long.

Gano isn't the best, but it's better to pay him than end up with another Medlock.
