If you look at average kicker salary Ryan Santoso is actually making slightly more than Slye was which is still bottom of the league. So I don't understand the anger like he was overpaid and overrated. We took a chance on youth and affordability. I wish the guy luck but this is a common story around the league maybe he'll get another chance somewhere else down the line.

Is Santoso from around here? I’m fairly sure this guy was the manager at Chewy’s the last time I went.

ETA: before all the huffing and puffing, I believe he’s the only of Indonesian descent player in the NFL.

seems like a bad gamble.  

He was more of a punter than kicker in college….and only punted his last 2 seasons.    He has bounced around the league for a half decade and one team let him be a kickoff specialist for part of a season (and he was bad at that). 

if you are going to gamble on a young promising leg….you need to a actually find one.

You don't know anything about Santoso. So why assume he's not good?

We do know things about Santoso.  

He kicked at Minnesota.  He wasn’t a good FG kicker in college…they replaced him on FGs and he only punted and kicked off his last two seasons.  

He has bounced around the league for a half decade trying to kick.  Titans let him be a kickoff specialist for part of a season….and he had a very low TB %. 

why would anyone assume that he can be an efficient FG and KO guy for the Panthers based off that?

How about we go with this fact? He did enough to earn this shot. How about we wait until he fails to roast him?

 

You really have become a grumpy old man lately. Sorry to see that.

      I was definitely on board with re-signing Darnold for another year while they drafted someone. Darnold really turned a corner once he came back in the second half of 2022. He is one of the better QBs in the NFL now for sure. Still makes those patented Darnold blunders though, evidenced by throwing a pick on a potential game winning drive yesterday. But he was also stellar at times during that game too.

      I dare you to go “pull the records” on my Cam posts. 🤣🤣🤣  Kyle Allen posts too.  I was one of the few screaming how garbage he was early.  Also, look up the posts and see what side I was on when it was rumored Olsen tried to console Cam his rookie year after a tough loss.  And whose side I was on when people criticized Cam for the towel, or “pouting” or for dancing.  I have never wavered.  Not only do I pull for Cam as an athlete, but I felt a kinship with him dating back to his Florida days.  I wrote about it here.  I know what it’s like to be judged off your persona, your reputation that someone else has given you, off falsehoods, off appearances, off of a mistake.  I know what it’s like to be ridiculed and omitted from opportunities for those things.  I’ve never me Cam, but that’s my brother.  So, anything insinuating anything else is hilarious.  I was riding for Cam when half the board wanted Marcel Dareus.🤣  I was riding for Cam and running off racists like “TheRealDeal” over Matt Moore (who, actually was a damn good QB, imo, but he was no Cam).  To this day, I still maintain, if we signed Cam off the street right now, he is the best QB on this roster instantly.  I don’t care what anyone says.   So if you have some sort of previous history with another poster or posters that made the racial component obvious, then please share, but when it’s coming from me?  Trust and believe - this ain’t that.  Never will be.  And no doubt, a ton of Cam hate was purely racial.  But, I call a spade a spade.  Mentioning Bryce in the same breath as Cam is objectively insulting.

      I haven’t. And always willing to show face. If you’re going to a game let me know. Love for you to explain why I’m an idiot to my face.
