Slye is the kicker because Gano was the kicker because Ron and Hurney cut Harrison Butker

Damn bunch of crybabies! 

Butker has missed a few himself. 

Damned weak take!

managers and coaching staff are judged by their ability to evaluate talent. hindsight is 20/20 but staff with 20/20 foresight keep their jobs.

slye is one of several manifestations of poor talent evaluation and roster management. you may not care but i promise you our analytics-driven owner does

  Does it hurt that bad to be so wrong? 
 

 Butker sure ain’t sitting at home collecting 6.6M to do.nothing this year and next. A scenario many people predicted when he signed that ridiculous contract you defend so much. 
 

   Butker has a 88% FG rate on a place that’s tough to kick. He ain’t missing many. Which is why the Chiefs gave him a 5M yr contract. 
 

No difference in them at all. lol

We ALL saw Slye before the season. All of us thought he was the heir apparent. He psyched us all. 

I would like somebody better than Slye, Butker and Gano at this point. I'm not going to do mental gymnastics and contortions to string events though. It is what it is. If Gano were healthy, we may win that game.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
