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.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
