Joey Slye needs to be cut immediately.

Im not a GM but Ill never understand how teams seem to not value the position in the draft. If someone like Justin Tucker was available and you picked him in the 4th round wouldnt you do it knowing your worries at the position are gone for the next decade? Versus maybe getting a backup receiver or linebacker like 4th rounders usually are? How many losses do you think the Ravens have avoided the last decade by not missing kicks? How many games did we lose by 3 or less last year where Slye missed at least one kick? I know Vikings, Saints, Chiefs for sure. Poo adds up

Yep…said it after last game…in 2 games he has left 7 puts on the board!!!  That’s the difference between winning and losing in this league!!

This^^^ In this league, there are a ton of games decided in the last minute on a field goal attempt. Question is: Do we trust Joey Slye to win games? We all know it could be a 2 to 3 game difference. 

Remember the Gano miss against Denver starting the 2016 season, and the mental effect it had?

Young talented team here... that needs the ball to bounce their way during these moments more times than not. Would build confidence that they can win the tight games!

Two turnovers and no points to show. Albeit, a preseason game. And Slye is the only guy on the board with points? Sure, blame him. Grab your quills and ink, and jot out missives about the yester-years of past panther lore's to your whims. By the way, I am no Slye apologist, the position certainly needs attention.

I submit to you, you are missing the much bigger picture here. He was the only person with points on the board tonight and after a RZ opportunity, two turnovers that favored the offense, which in return, garnered no results. I just happen to blame preseason and that's just me.

Uh oh...

Very little room for error in the NFL for kickers. They have basically one job... what distance was the FG he missed from, like 30 yards? If you cannot handle the pressure of a pre-season game, guess what? You're out! Don't be surprised if he is cut come Monday or Tuesday.

I'm with you. 

Highest scoring position in the league to the point where of the top-50 scorers in NFL history only one (1) is not a kicker -- Jerry Rice at #38.

Only 5 in top-75...Jerry (#38), Emmit Smith (#58), LaDainian Tomlinson (#67), Randy Moss (#72), Terrell Owens (#74). 

And people whine about Gano being overpaid...he was the best scorer in Panthers history.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
