I don’t know who was on waiver wires/FA/trade earlier this year so forgive me for that, I don’t follow football that closely. But I’m sure there is someone who could have competed for the kicker spot and given Slye the competition he desperately needs. 

I do, and there wasn't.

The other guys who were available wouldn't have been any better than the guys we did bring in.

If they want a higher quality kicker, they're either going to have to hope for a surprise cut or part with a draft pick (the latter being more likely).

By the way Scott Fitterer says he’s confident in Slye. Just wow!

You do realise how this works, right?

What's he meant to say? "Jesus, Joey Slye is dogshit. He's only here until we can get rid of him".

That's not how you build a team. We'll be scouring the NFL for a replacement - we just won't actively tell the media that we're doing so.

Then what the hell are you posting scores of negative opinions for?

Maybe if you followed it more closely, (or just shut up about it), you;d get more respect.

I’m not going to follow every player and every waiver wire event. Especially with this iteration of this team. But the fact still remains. There were plenty of kickers on the wire during FA that we could have picked up for a camp job. I mean, and I like Slye, but really? The dude shanks everything. You can’t win a superb owl with that. Give him a little competition, some kind of metric if you want to put it in analytic terms. Or else we will literally be sitting where we were in 2019, with him shanking everything.

Hell yes he should say that, he don’t like it bye!

Why the *** would we need a new kicker??? Slye was really good last season. Cause he had a bad preseason game lol.

Slye had 7 missed FG last season

2 were blocked

2 were from 65 and 67 yards away, impossible kicks nobody has ever made

1 vs KC was a 51 yard kick on a windy day day, Butker missed a fg on that same day.

 

The other two were legit misses.

 

Zero context in this thread

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
