He didn't do that for us before we cut him so it's a moot point.  If they player doesn't perform while here why hang onto him?

This sums it up and in truth it sounds very familiar. Several former Panthers have went on to look better after a change of scenery. I think our luck will change soon but first we have to negate the necessity for these miracle kicks and get into the endzone. The Giants are worse than us at that how else would Gano get all those kicking attempts? They were 31st in the nfl in redzone % last year while we were 28th.

Most frustration centers around keeping Gano over Butker.

Gano has been as good as it better than Butker. And it’s worth noting that the training camp and preseason Butker had weren’t great. Regardless, we could have kept either and got a top-five kicker and instead we kept neither and have lost a slew of games as a result.

We have lost some games off missed kicks but by and large we have lost the majority bc we were starting Kyle Allen and Teddy Bridgewater. You need a quarterback and kicker is a good bit further down the list.

I get why they did it at the time because the 2017 Panthers roster was veteran heavy and ready to compete for a Super Bowl and they didn’t want to have a rookie kicker with a roster like that. Gano was then and still is one of the best kickers in the NFL so even though losing Butker stung they still had a great kicker. Now we have none and it’s just so typical Panthers to do something stupid like that.

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
