So you want to add an extra 15-20 yards to every kickoff return just to open a roster spot for a backup lineman that will never see the field.

Did you see the Chiefs' field position on our two kickoffs today? I don't think it could have been much worse with Baker doing the job and at least then we wouldn't have dead weight on the team.

Cut Lloyd and Kasay and find a new kicker that can do both. It really is that simple. Kasay just doesn't have it.

WTF is "it"?

When is the last time Kasay missed an easy kick before today?

When is the last time he shanked more than one in a game?

Our once great kicking team is horrendous. Jason Baker takes WAY too long to punt, and is inconsistant. Kasay is getting old and has missed 3 makeable field goals in a row. Lloyd can boom it, but not consistantly like last season. We may be looking at an overhaul on special teams in 2010. Coach included.

I'd love to get a young premiere kicker that can do both. Hell let's get an elite punter while we're at it. But until then Lloyd is well worth the roster spot. Again, you think a backup lineman that will never see the field gives us a better shot to win rather than an extra 15-20 yards every kickoff?

Chiefs? LOL Umm... ok, I can't trust your judgment if you can't even figure out what team we're playing. And you're also ignoring a full season where he broke a record for touchbacks, and being among the leaders in TB% this season and saying he should be cut based on a umm.. two kicks. Oh, and Baker and Kasay are both horrible at kicking off so yeah, it could be much worse.

Sorry I was in the middle of a conversation with my friend about the SD/KC game today and I guess it just slipped. He was great last season and I'm happy about it but his rate of touchbacks has been awful when we've really needed them. Baker's onside kicking is about equivalent to what Rhys has been doing most of the year.

Lloyd is #2 in the NFL in TB% and that's with teams returning kicks 5 yards deep because our STs coverage is terrible. You take him out of the equation and we go from having one of the best at kickoffs to one of the worst (either Kasay or Baker qualifies) and put more pressure on a coverage unit that's already dead last in the league. Good lord, who is so important that we need this roster spot for anyway?

Richardson needs to give kasay a nice little bonus for his time in carolina and in return he retires at the end of the season and we get a new kicker that can make field goals and kickoff decently.

Our whole special team needs an overhaul and that starts with the ST Coach.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
