Panthers cut kicker Santoso

My position is the same as the day we brought in Santoso.  

either get a legit leg and if one isn’t available…..bring in some young rookie to gamble on.   No point bringing in dysfunctional kickers that have already proven they aren’t actually good enough.    We aren’t in win now mode.  Might as well actually be trying out guys with potential to be actual answers

Gonzalez has made a decent percentage of his 50+ yard attempts.

We do have a kicker on the practice squad, Dominik Eberle.  Based on the article linked, he looks to have a leg similar to Slye.  Keeping him on the PS while grabbing another kicker tells me they like him, just don’t fully trust him yet….

“Kicking for the Utah State Aggies since 2016, the Nuremberg, Germany native has broken and still holds numerous school and conference records including most individual career points scored at USUand most field goals made in Mountain West history with 64, ahead of Utah’s Louie Sakoda. He was a finalist for the Lou Groza award in 2017 and a semi-finalist in 2018.

The 6’2″, 190 pound Eberle also became just the sixth player in NCAA history to kick three 50-plus yard field goals in a game, a feat he easily accomplished against New Mexico State in 2018.

You might say he has a leg.”

He has a worse overall % than Syle…and spent all last season choking on kicks in the 4th q.  

I’d rather have a rookie.  A rookie kicker would deserve blind optimism.  This is just a bad overall kicker.    Rhule should of just kept Syle.

    • Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.
    • lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.
    • I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
