Because there can never be too many threads about how horrible this guy is.

I saw the Observer gave the special teams unit a B for the game because we pooch kicked it to Harvin. Yippee.

If Rhys Lloyd can no longer kick it into the endzone, what purpose does he serve? Kasay can pooch kick the ball (in our out of bounds) can't he? Hell, he can get it to the 10 at least, which is all Lloyd has been doing. Total waste of a roster spot for a kicker who can't do the one job he's on the team to do.

Also lost in last night's win was another horrific job by both the punt and kickoff teams, as well as Cap'n and Cap'n's kick coverage team. At this point, not losing yardage or muffing a punt on a return means we're doing something extraordinary. There is NEVER a chance of us breaking a punt or kick for a TD.

And the penalties...

How does this guy still have a job?

I don't think that kick was on purpose... looked like he flubbed it to me and we got lucky that it stayed in bounds... his other kickoffs looked pretty good. KO and PR coverage looked better last night (for the most part) than it has all season, with the exception of that one where Baker had to knock the guy out.

But yeah, I still think Crossman sucks, one decent game doesn't change that.

There were several pooch kicks, and they were all intentional.

OK, I only saw that one... I have no idea, just didn't look intentional to me...

Crossman and at least One of our kickers need to go.

Kinda ridiculous were practically wasting roster spots because they're to chicken poo to cut ties.

I'm torn on this... Kasay is still money inside 40 yards, so it's hard to get rid of that, especially when you look around the league at so many kickers that are NOT making field goals, but it does suck that he can't kickoff... they need to find a punter that can kickoff...

I agree with Sultan though time for Kasay to hang it up.

it is pretty hard to find good kickers but he isn't getting the job done anymore. I feel bad about him leaving but you have to make a business decision and pull the plug. If Fox is still here he is staying unless he retires though. Loyalty first remember?

As opposed to what? Having a thrid string player who wont play? What wrong with having both on there?

you would rather have a guy kicking off that is obviously not getting as many touchbacks opposed to a guy that can possibly stop a return man from getting to the endzone? or a guy that can give us some depth A La hollis thomas or a james anderson type?

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
