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.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
