Lloyd’s agent Frank Murtha said he wouldn’t rule out re-signing with Carolina, but said his client is hopeful to find a job with a new team that will allow him to expand his role to include kicking field goals and extra points. To tender Lloyd the Panthers would have had to pay Lloyd $1.1 million this season, which is clearly more than they wanted to invest in a player who fills such a small niche.

If you ask me, I'd much rather pay $1.1 for a 20-something year old power kicking specialist than pay whatever it is we're paying our almost 40 year old 25-39 yard field goal specialist.

It isn't either or. Kasay is under contract and Rhys isn't. It is spending additional money on a guy who frankly didn't look that great last year and has not shown accuracy in field goal kicking. I expect Rhys will have a hard time finding a full time job this year. It isn't as if there are many jobs in the NFL given each team has 1 kicker. He might get invited to another camp but that is a far cry from becoming the starter.

I think it's time we see what kind of salt Rhys has. It's not every day you get a kicker with a Janikowski-like leg for power.

Love Kasay, but he's in his declining years, and we can't pass up on a genuine kicking prospect purely for sentimental reasons. Will Rhys miss a few if he gets the full time job? Porbably. Probably some easy ones and moderate ones. But probably no more than the long ones Kasay will miss this year because he just doesn't have enough leg anymore.

Someone mentioned a case of the "Delhommes" in another thread. +1 to that. The only way Kasay is gone is if he retires.

Yea that was me.

Hey, here's another one for you guys. Lloyd is big friends with Matt Moore...

Hmm, could there be a link somehow in Fox not letting Lloyd kick FG's!!?

Hah, in all seriousness, I really think this is a mistake if Lloyd is allowed to walk. $1mill may be too much to pay a KO specialist, but if he could also serve as FG and PAT kicker.....

So far all he does is kick off. There are hundreds of guys who will work for peanuts who can kick the ball in the endzone. He is totally expendable and frankly last year had trouble kicking it deep when the weather got cold. He squibbed most of them in December and January.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
