You're taking a moral stand over someone whose family has made billions of dollars exploiting the worst society has to offer to the detriment of the general public and future generations of women. Just stop.

Its not taking a stand. "do better" is the non actionable nothing people who don't have anything to say fart out of their mouth while thinking they've done something.

Improve .0001% and you've satisfied that nothing of a statement its honestly hilarious. What isn't though is that the most grandstanding individuals are always the worst IRL and project hard as if saying nothing statements makes what they've done go away

*Yawn*

Trust and believe that I was under no illusions that I was creating any positive change in the person by calling the statement out. That's not going to stop me from calling a spade a spade regardless of how you losers feel about it.

I don’t understand why we didn’t go after the Ravens guy or Jose Borregales. Borregales has ice in his veins and has no problem with 50 yarders

We should have just kept Slye if there wasn't a kicker out there that was clearly an upgrade.

At least Slye was commited to the Panthers. He tatooed himself in a Panthers uniform on his arm ffs.

And of course in true Panthers fashion he absolutely crushed it for the Texans on Sunday.

Slye needed a reset. His confidence was so fragile here. We brought in Eberle as competition and he was folding under pressure in practice. Sure he’s started well with the Texans but I have my doubts long terms with him.

Anyone want to do a new drinking game? Take a shot every time the Panthers cut a kicker or the kicker misses an extra point.

We don't have any clue what we are doing at kicker. That's the honest truth.

I actually think consistently trotting him out there for 65+ yard FGs was our own staff setting him up for failure.    If they keep putting you out there for circus kicks….we’ll the expectation is you eventually have to be the freak.  But it’s just putting you out there to take Ls.

I never thought those were counting against a kicker anyway so its a bit surprising if it was...like who tf actually puts that on the kicker...would actually be a knock against them if so. Should, at that distance, be a great if you do no worries if you don't make it.

Glad we signed him, if you have concerns about the kicker you do something about it.

I've also wondered if putting him out there for those ridiculous kicks didn't fug with his mechanics a bit. He didn't seem to get bad until after those few games that we asked him to kick from the opposite end zone basically.

Do we have a kicking coach? Or just a Magic 8 Ball?

Yeah... That's a really stupid take.

The coaching staff is not setting up their own players for failure.
