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.

      Trade: Panthers are trading veteran QB Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, per sources.

      True, they still have to prove themselves all over again.  Some could have bad years or get injured.  However, the Panthers just signed the lone first round QB in the worst QB class in a decade plus.  So calling the '27 class mid at the moment is the face of the Kenny Pickett signing is like convincing yourself the 2am last chick in the bar is just as good as the model your buddy took home hours ago.

      Half my section was obnoxious Pittsburgh fans last nite. I'm not sure I would have held it together if the Canes lost. You're in someone else's house, they gave you a free bobblehead- regardless of your jersey- just sit down and watch the game and don't talk sh!t.  "Go back to Connecticut, you Whalers!" is as imaginative as it got. "You can't call a penalty on Sid the Kid!" It was a challenge.  In a relative sense, the blue line was excellent last night. Kept the puck in the O-zone and the Canes owned the offensive end of the ice thru 2 periods. Slavin gave up a breakaway, Nikishin turned the puck over once or twice, but it was a far better effort than what we've seen recently. Sure, it should have been a 2-3 goal differential, but Freddie stopped nothing in the 3rd period. But he was a wall in OT- Pittsburgh had their shots in OT.  And, it goes without saying, the officiating sucked. Malkin took a dive and slid halfway down the ice until a whistle was blown and Svech catching an extra 2 minutes was complete bullsh!t. The refs did everything they could to keep Pittsburgh in the game. A good way to start vacation. Headed to the Caribbean for a solid week of nothing but beach time and good food & drink for a week. Will be back at the NJ game on the 28th.
