The thing about kickers is that it probably took getting cut for him to get over the yips.

That could be.  But we still downgraded.  And Syle wasn’t even good.  
 

this guy has bounced around for a half decade.   Either go sign a real kicker or bring in some young leg to gamble with.  This never made sense.

Who was that team a few years ago that cut their kicker before the season and ended up singing/cutting several more throughout the year?

Yeah, I don't want to be them whoever it was.

Well we shouldn’t stick with this dude.   We should of never gone into the season with him.

Absurd…his first regular season game and he missed 1 xp kick

Dude has been in the NFL for a half decade.  All he has ever been is a super bad kickoff specialist to date.   That’s his resume.   No team in a half decade would let him kick.

keeping him will just lead to her inevitable and predictable….football isn’t that hard.  He shouldn’t be someone’s FG on the NFL. 
 

and that isn’t a new hot take I have because of the missed XP today.   I’ve been saying it ever since we got him

Joey Syle was perfect on the day.  7/7 on FGs/XPs. 
 

I had no problem moving on from him but as I said at the time….we downgraded.  That’s on Rhule.   This guy isn’t a NFL kicker.   

Jesus Christ, did he really?

fuger couldn't hit a barn door when he was here. Bloody typical.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
