Joey Slye - I thought you looked cool with your swole arms and tats and you had so much potential to kick super long FGs for this team.

So it didn’t work out here on the Panthers but I GUARANTEE you will get another chance probably on the Bears or something. Look at what happened to Graham Gano - dude got cut from the Redskins and everyone was calling him OH NO GANO because he sucked. Then he got another chance fixed his sh*t and became one of the best kickers in the NFL.

Keep your head up, get your confidence back and go be a good kicker for another team and prove the Panthers were wrong and that’s all you can do.

It’s be one thing if Smith was speaking for himself but it’s almost seems like he’s relishing Slye’s yips. just feels wrong from an official Panthers announcer. Everyone can see it, no reason to rub it in. 

No wonder your last name is LaFell!!!  We think it...SMITTY speaks it!!!  TRUTH SON!

I'm sure Smitty's commentary was not as soft as the Panthers would have liked it to be, but I don't think Smitty was trying to be just mean there.

I think he's keeping it real about how physically and mentally abusive this violent sport that we all enjoy, can be

He said for the guy to go to a 24 hr store and get boxes and tape. To reserve the service elevator at The Vue. 89 wasn’t being subtle lol

One of the best legs I have ever seen but just can’t get his accuracy down.

For the record Slye’s first two years are on par with the first two years of some of the best kickers in the league.

It’s matter of if he can get it together or not and if anyone wants to give home the chance and more importantly the time which is a huge ask/risk for the kicker position.

I think we need someone more reliable even if they have absolutely no chance at making a 60 yarder.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
