From his wiki:

"He was named the NFL Europa special teams player of the week in week 3 by tying the league record for the longest field goal in League history with a 56 yarder."

"Lloyd signed with the Baltimore Ravens again as a free agent in 2007 and made an impressive 55 yard field goal in the Ravens preseason finale against Atlanta"

Also, I remember during last year's training camp they were saying he practiced as backup FG kicker and was booting them through the uprights from 50+ yards out.

In the end, we really don't know, he hasn't been given a chance recently so, he could be amazing or he could be dismal.

So you don't think the Panthers have ever bothered to try Rhys out @ kicking field goals.

I'm sure they have, but we have no way of knowing if he's good or not.

Basing a conclusion on whether or not he's a good FG kicker by the simple fact that the Panthers haven't used him in a game at that position would be doing him a disservice.

Plus, we know that the coaches have favored vet's over potentially talented younger players regardless of which player is actually better. I can think of at least one big example of that in recent years ... ;)

ive seen him hit it at 55 yards during pre game warm ups as a panther but hes never kicked a field goal for us.. idk why he seems really good during warms up even tho in collage he sorta sucked

Seen him do that numerous times, think I saw him hit a 60-61 yarder once.

This, and how he and Kasay parallel the Delhomme/Moore sage worry me.

He may be pricey at a $1mill tender but I feel as though we may be letting a very good all around kicker go...

I'm going to take a leap of faith and assume the Panthers willingness to lose him is a direct result of their evaluation as to his ability to kick FG's.

Kasay may be "Mr. Panther" but he's old enough that the bottom could drop out at any minute.

I'd like to believe this as well, but there could be other factors, money not the least of them.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
