Is Jon Kasay

Eeehh no, that's still John Kasay.

Gano is capable of hitting from 60 and missing from 40.  Luckily we got the good side of the coin today.

At this point all of Gano's stats are better, both regular season and playoffs, and he's been just as clutch if not moreso. Kasay deserves his honors, particularly for his role in Smitty's maturation, but Gano has earned the nod.

No he hasn't. Gano usually chokes under clutch situations where Kasay usually was money. Kasay is one of the best kickers in NFL history. Without him in 2003, we wouldn't have been in the Super Bowl. Gano has cost us playoff games. Kasay has also made 43 50 plus FGs while Gano has only made 19.

The best asset a kicker can have it to be clutch. Kasay was one of the best in league with the game on line. And in his prime he was hitting 50 yarders all the time.  

If I remember right Kasay didn't start out as an exceptional kicker. He grew into it and I think it may be what we are seeing with Gano. He's had a great year. He's got a bigger leg than Kasay but I still think John is better right now.

I didn't take anything away from Kasay and Kasay choked sometimes too... are you forgetting that same Super Bowl? Does Carolina get to the Super Bowl in 2015 without Gano and his multiple game-winners?

I'm not a Gano fan and I'd have to say he's a better kicker than Kasay was while here.

 

We had to waste an active roster spot to f'ing field two kickers. Kasay also lost us the Super Bowl.

You're a moron if you think he lost us the Super Bowl

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
