Eddy Pineiro playing well enough to stick around?

Lost in the craziness of the NFCS and the let-down of yesterday is that our replacement kicker, Eddy Pineiro is quietly putting together a really nice season.

He hasn't missed a Field Goal since October, and he's only missed 2 on the season. The disaster in Atlanta notwithstanding (or maybe in a display of some much needed moxie) Eddy's rebounded nicely and doesn't seem to have been shaken by that loss.

And where early in his Panthers tenure, when we seemed to punt in lieu of long FG attempts, it now seems like the coaching staff is starting to trust him more. Yesterday, rather than go for the Hail Mary and go for the tying FG after the on-side kick, Wilks put Pineiro in there to kick a long FG to keep our faint hopes alive. And he nailed it right down the center and with leg to spare.

So, is he just putting good tape out there for someone else to take a chance on him, or do you think we keep him even after Gonzalez gets healthy?

He absolutely is.  With the nature of Gonzalez's injuries the last 2 seasons too, he might even have a leg up in a kicking competition.

I believe that the Panthers will decide to keep Eddy Pineiro who doesn't have an injury history like Gonzalez.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
