Think about it, the Panthers came extremely close to being just as screwed at kicker as the bears or Bucs. It's going to be a tough season to begin with, not having a NFL caliber kicker would make a winning season unlikely. 

God damn we are so lucky to have found Slye when we did. 

That was fuggin close.

These kickers just keep getting stronger and stronger. I have no doubt Ill see a 70 yarder one day.

Gano would pretty regularly hit them from 70 in practice and warmups if the wind was cooperating. Don’t think he could have done it in a game though. Getting the ball over the line and still hitting it that far would be an issue. Maybe in Denver with a good tailwind.

Dont count your chickens before they hatch. All these kickers are capable of making field goals in meaningless games. Will he get the yipps when he misses one though? Gano pissed me off alot and I felt like his misses would come at the worst possible moments but reality is he was incredibly reliable for the most part and thats not always easy to find. Teams like the Vikings, Bucs, Browns always seem to have kicking issues that cost them 2 or so games every year

Yeah the Bears wanted to go young and cheap and moved on from Robbie Gould and haven’t been able to find anyone. Cowboys tried to the same with Dan Bailey and that hasn’t gone super well either. Falcons are having a disaster of a time replacing Matt Bryant who they moved on from for some crazy reason.

Gano might not have been the best kicker but he was at least above average and that’s not an easy thing to replace. Really hope Slye crushes it because the alternative is miserable.

Im glad we found Gano, people must have not been fans long enough to remember the 2 year disaster it was trying to replace Kasay with Olindo Mare and Justin Medlock

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
