Depends on if Chris Tabor is retained. I think Zane was a beast when it came to longer field goals. 

Even if Tabor isn’t retained (and I really hope he is as our ST has been outstanding),  I don’t see why or how we cut Piniero. He’s been money since the Atlanta game. And Gonzalez, though a good K, has been on IR the past two seasons due to non-contact injuries, which makes availability a major question mark at this point.

Let's see who can't read 

Is Gonzalez gonzo? or should Piñeiro retiro?

Guilty…I selected Piniero when I really meant to choose Gonzalez to be cut. I like them both but can’t see how we choose the latter after he ending the last two seasons on IR.

That is a good point and very true. Pinero has given us he gift of being available which makes his value skyrocket not to mention he has been very reliable as well which makes him even more valuable to the team.

Pineiro is a pending FA so he'd have to be re-signed before this became a question. I'd prefer him though. Gonzalez is just too injury prone to rely on IMO.

 

This EXACTLY after thinking about what you are saying as it totally makes sense. I agree with about half of what you say and when I do its like you just clarified things for me and helped me realize the direction we need to go,

Eddie was one of the most reliable kickers in the league this year.  #2 in FGM% with at least 20 attempts, #1 in FGM% with at least 30 attempts.

Zane was a 78% kicker (71/91) before his 2021 Panthers campaign.  2021 was his best campaign by a mile at 91% (20/22).  His career best season still fell short of the mark Eddie put forward this year, 94% (33/35).

Combine that with back to back injury seasons and it's seems pretty straight forward that Eddie is our kicker.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By panthers55 · Posted

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
