Yeah, all but one season his team sucked. Par for the course. I'm not saying he's a bad overall kicker. He's a GREAT kicker on kicks that aren't clutch. He's one of the worst of the past three decades on kicks that are clutch. The data bears it out.

bwhahaHAHAJAHAHAAA

Getting rid of Joey Slye was a bad idea as well.

Letting Butker go and keeping Gano only to replace him with Slye was moronic.  Why waste a pick, even a 7th rounder if you weren't going to give him a legitimate chance.     

We let a big leg go so we could keep an accurate kicker only to replace him with a big leg only to replace him with an Accurate (not so Accurate) kicker and replace him with a questionable kicker.

We're still crying over Butkey, now Gano and Slye as well? The only Panthers kicker to ever deserve our tears when he left was Jon Kasay. 

Good luck to Zane Gonzalez or to whoever will replace him. The job's basically yours until you miss a PAT. May you have 10 years here.

I would be interested to see the data as well as how it compares to others?

Go back. I linked it. Clutch kicks numbers from 1985 to 2019.

Kasay, but the data bears out that he sucked in the clutch too. And he did have the worst day for a kicker I've ever seen in the first Panthers game I attended live. We lost to the Eagles that day by 9 and Kasay left 10 on the field missing three FGs and an XP. We did go to the SB though... where as we all know he proceeded to miss the entire field.

The data does suggest Kasay was worse than Gano in that one simple exercise undertaken by Football Outsiders...

...that said, the data-set is laughable and the exercise has holes in it large enough to drive a Mack truck through.

It operates off of an arbitrary definition of a fairly vague term but you have to have firm definitions to create a data set. I don't have an issue with it. I suspect your issue with it is that it shoots big holes in your preconceived ideas.

Y’all hated his ass when he was here don’t rewrite huddle history to fit your whiny ass narrative. 

I got downvoted to hell for saying this about slye. Maybe its our grass

[Davidson Deac II]

I think we can all agree, that in terms of place kicker, the team has made one mistake after another.  

Glad the new guy made his first one, even if it was a chip shot.

Heads up play by Fox.
