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

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By strato · Posted

      considering [Dave] Canales enters Year 3 working for an impulsive owner. There’s not much room to slide backwards from an 8-9 season and 13-21 overall record. It doesn’t help that his primary job has been the development of quarterback Bryce Young, and the progress there has been inconsistent. Canales was supposed to turn the former top pick into a franchise quarterback. If that doesn’t happen by next January, the Panthers could be looking for both a new coach and quarterback." —————- The format of that doesn’t display on my iPad I had to paste it as plain text to see it so I am leaving it here to refer to… I am gonna disagree with a lot of that.  First reference is Tepper. That interview posted here a few days back gave me the impression that he is really happy with his FO. And Canales. Seat isn’t even warm as of right now. IMO.  The assertion that Canales is supposed to turn Young into a franchise QB is something I have never bought. First, how could anyone look at 2023Bryce and see a can’t miss Franchise player?  He was for sure a could miss.  I am not sure it was fix Bryce or you are both gone. Maybe that will happen The longer it drags on, I think maybe the more likely a total house cleaning could be an outcome. I mean it is only year 3 of Canales coming up. But as a couple of people like to point out, he has shown other concerning flaws that might damage his stock.  As far as the hot seat, mid season with 2-3 wins I would imagine yeah it would be pretty warm. I think a small regression to say 7 or maybe even 6 wins would be tolerated but the seat is warm for 2027. Depends on the circumstances.
