Graham Gano has surgery. Will he be a Panther next year?

Yeah I know...who cares about a kicker at this time of the year, but it is raining outside, so why not discuss our kicking situation while drinking your liquor/coffee combo. Will he be back next year? That contract does not make it easy to trade/release without eating a lot of dead money (for a kicker anyway). Do we trade Slye? Also remember that time we traded a 4th round pick for a punter? Cringe worthy.

Unlikely. Slye hasn't been better but it is hard to justify Gano's contract coming off that kind of surgery.

We have so many holes going into next season it’s unreal. We have so many free agents, on top of questionable starters who are under contract. Next year could be very very ugly.

Common belief is that decision will be made by a new staff that has no ties to him.

The new staff will have an insane amount of  decisions to make. I hope Tepper pulls out the check book because they are going to earn every penny with the amount of free agent/vets that they have to decide on

Oh I think it's going to be a bloodbath if we don't bring back Cam. That may seem like an odd statement to make but if we opt to roll with Allen, Grier or a drafted QB.....it will be full rebuild mode. 

It may be the toughest offseason Panthers fans have seen in a long time.

Tepper sounds like he might be prepared to embrace that.

Big reason why I don't think it's enough to just move on from Ron Rivera.

If we're going to start a major rebuild, I definitely don't want to see Marty Hurney running it.

    • I guess i have to add I am curious as well as to what Tepper has done that shows he has backed off.  Thats not a hard ask.  I guess I am in a holding pattern of what to believe until the wheels come off again.  Not saying thats going to happen but there is more data out there to suggest it will vs a turn around.
    • Never a fan of him for us but this is compete BS. Teddy seems like a good dude. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45740176/teddy-bridgewater-suspended-miami-northwestern-coaching-job
    • Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.
