What the fuck has John Kasay ever done for us?

I don't feel like John Kasay has ever done anything as a Carolina Panther to deserve anyone disrespecting his ability to kick or his role on this team. That is pretty much blasphemy. All respect lost for anyone who thinks Kasay has never done anything for us.

Right. And if the Super Bowl and last night aren't examples, than he has pretty much never been at fault from what I'm reading.

Kasay was 3 of 5 in a playoff game against St Louis a few years ago during our 03 run. The two misses were in ot from 53 and 45 yards. Had we lost, Kasay would have deserved the blame for that lost almost exclusively.

Hmm..lets see. Kasay went out to kick a 50 yard field goal in swirling winds with sustainable speeds of 21 mph (not including gusts). The temperature at the time was 28 degrees F (which is below freezing) and barely missed the kick. And for this reason you want to truss him up like a Christmas dinner turkey?

Name me one kicker in the game today that could have made that kick consistently. Not a single person could go 10 for 10 in that situation. We send out Kasay and he damn near nails it. This loss is not on him in any way. To say as much would be a discredit to him (24 of 26, misses being a 50 and 54 yarder).

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
