This notion that we need to cut anybody who makes a big mistake in a loss is pure fanthink, and it's silly.

No single person is ever responsible for a loss. Every minute of every game counts and has to be taken as a whole.

There is a difference between cutting a no name kicker vs WR 1.  WRs run routes. Catch balls. Block in run game. Kickers have one job. Make kicks. Can’t do that. Time to go. 
 

that’s the problem with the NFL and this world. No one wants to hold anyone accountable. Or be held accountable. 
 

Cut his ass.

You make some valid points but there is probably no kickers available that are better than him. 

Unless he totally messes up big time, his job may be safe for now but I look for stiff competion among kickers in the 2023 training camp.

Replacing Piñeiro would make more sense had he already been missing field goals this season. Instead, he has been one of the few reliable pieces this season. While it's infuriating he missed twice yesterday, the better option is to wait and see if this starts becoming a trend for him. 

And tossing people at the first misstep is beyond absurd. That's not accountability. It's allowing emotions to dictate decisions. Try applying that logic to all kickers in the league and even Justin Tucker will be changing teams every other week trying to reach an unrealistic expectation of perfection or you're fired.

Panthers kicker taking selfies, before blowing game

His head obviously wasnt in the game at all, it's obvious he wasn't prepared for the game to be put on his foot 

 

Ah yes, because taking PREGAME selfies means his head wasn't in the game in OT for the kick. Got anymore horrible takes on things while you're at it.

And sign...who?

Is there some other kicker out there who's better and more reliable but is somehow miraculously still unemployed at this point in the season?

If there's not, then this would be an incredibly stupid move.

I believe the saying is "cutting your nose off to spite your face."

We hear a lot of that on this here forum.

I’m gonna be honest I do think he should be cut, he wasn’t even supposed to be the kicker this year. This wasn’t John Kasay or Graham Gano having a bad game. This guy has played 8 games for the team. First time he has a pressure kick he blows it TWICE. 

Should be Bye Felicia but he’s here to stay to lose us more games. This franchise loves to lose.

I mean, who exactly are you planning to sign at kicker if you cut him? Not like there are just tons of better kickers sitting at home on the couch right now in the season. You guys keep talking about him as if he wasn't our "Oh poo!" emergency signing once Zane got hurt.

Exactly.  Plus why was Zane even available in the first place?  Cause he missed too many kicks for his last team.  Could easily happen once he returns.  Kickers are weird.

So does it hurt to bring a few guys in for a tryout? Since nobody EVER in the history of sports has been found by bringing someone in off the couch for a tryout just to do due diligence I guess we shouldn't worry about it and say to hell with it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
