Everyone is waiting for the NYG kicker competition to hit waivers. 

I looked this guy up yesterday when the name came up and I want to know what the deal is with the hype. He's been bouncing around since like 2018 and hasn't won an NFL job yet.

Touchback percentage is extremely overrated 

If this is a big deal to Rhule, it's another point that puts him in the 'run da ball and play good defense' mindset of coaching.

His name is....Harrison Butker and it still makes no sense to me that Gano and his salary was kept. Harry-But is only the 2nd most accurate kicker in NFL HISTORY!!

Every other NFL team brings in competition for their kickers. 

So did we.

Than why aren’t they getting a shot in games to kick? That’s part of the competition.

Because the ones we signed weren't even good enough in practice.

And again. Notch again coaching/fitts. Should have brought in a real vet.

I hope Sly misses every kick this week. Practice and games. Forces their hand.

there was a thought at the time that he just didn't have the body to survive in the nfl; that a strong breeze would kill him

and i mean i get it. he's a lanky dude. i saw him kick at georgia tech and he looks weird as hell out there

Like who, exactly?

Anybody who's any good already has a job.

Complaining about the previous staff and front office handling of Gano & Butker does nothing now. I get it, but that shipped sailed and so did the people who made those decisions. Move on.

Anybody with a brain knew what the right call was.  Unfortunately, we had Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney at the helm.

When you mismanage a team for years and years and years...this kinda thing is just part of it.

My read is that it was intentional. It seems like Slye has a confidence issue, so I think they were trying to give him a confidence boost that he was going into the season unchallenged as the starter to see if taking the pressure off would help cure his case of the shanks.

And by all accounts it did not seem to have that effect.

If Rhule, and the Panthers brain trust, really did this, they are dumb as rocks, seriously 

the nfl is always about pressure, performance under pressure, who can withstand it and perform at high level and who can’t 

there aren’t any ‘participation awards…not for kickers or for second year head coaches

We will stick with Slye which is dumb as hell. Pinero definitely isn’t the answer, there is a reason he keeps getting cut.

Coach TempleBaylor will sit tight

 Rhule did not sound vey happy with him after the last game. Sounded  rather ominous.
