There's some odd folks out there. The only time I see this guy post is about Gano. Is Graham your brother in law or something?

I think I remember you. Are you the one who insisted a cheap bad kicker is better than an expensive good one?

I think you are confused but when have we been in position to sign a really good one? They have to be available. Whenever I hear Gano's name I picture that kick going wide against the Broncos after our qb took the beating of his life guiding us to the game winning kick. The Panthers need a kicker but more than that they need to score touchdowns I'm sorry if I'm not all teary eyed over an aging kicker I want to compete with the best and we aren't doing that settling for field goals anyway.

34 is a kickers prime 😂 while Tom Brady is anomaly at 44 kickers in there 40s are quite common.

By the way Gano made the first one and Broncos called timeout. It’s hard to hit 50 yd fgs back to back, I don’t blame that on him.

The Panthers should have had competition for Slye this year from the get go that's on coach Rhule for sitting on his hands.

Miss is a miss and a loss is a loss. 7 winning seasons in 25 years. Keep making excuses though see how far it gets you 🤷‍♂️

Not me! I warned people that cutting a kicker this good for some random practice squad player was an awful idea. 

kickers are one of the easiest positions to get right and to mess up. We could have had Gano or Butker - but top-five league kickers. Instead, we have neither and it’s entirely on management.

Did you want Gano over Butker? Just asking because he was also sent to the practice squad literally months after drafting him. As much as you love Gano, seems like something you supported, which was pretty stupid.

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
