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.

He missed 3 XP too.

I think we have seen more than enough of Slye to know he isn't the guy. He doesn't really have the yips. He has been the same guy from college to the NFL, with fairly little variation. Basically a career 70-80% FG kicker. That isn't likely to cut it long term. 

Can't argue with you at all. The worry is always will the next guy be worse?

I'd probably rather shuttle kicker after kicker through to find "the guy" rather than keep a guy we absolutely know cannot get it done and will directly be responsible for multiple losses.

Joey, you aren't getting it done. Maybe you can take this failure and turn into success with your next team.

Or maybe Joey's mom/dad/sibling. Definitely has to be related to be defending him at this point.

      I dont care as long as he plucks the ball out of the air like he did in college, maybe it will rub off on XL and make him up his game too.

      My boy: My wife has been cheating on me and I have proof! Here, look at these texts where she's congratulating some other man on how well he pounded her out like she'd never experienced before to the point he rearranged her IUD! I'm gonna post these texts on social media for the whole world to see! Me:

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.
