We keep saying this about every position it seems...

At some point you have to love the one your with and put a team together. 

Piniero cant even make a 50 yarder in a regular season game. 

Right about the time we settle down and say "okay, we're good now" is when they start waffling 😕

He was 5 for 7 from 50+ last year.  I'm pretty sure those were in regular season games, but maybe I'm misremembering and we were actually a playoff team and those were all from the postseason.

Yep Eddie was great.  One of his 2 misses was that crazy 57 plus yarder in Chicago AKA "the windy city" with no time left.  That call was Frank's last straw for me.  It was like 4th and 2 and the offense had a bit of rhythm going finally.

We drafted this stud kicker only to cut him before the regular season began to re-sign OH NO Gano. Fugin sickening. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Butker was cut because he looked worse than Gano in camp and the preseason, and Gano and Butker have had essentially indistinguishable stats since the draft. Exception was last year with the Giants, where Gano was pretty bad but also was struggling with injury.

The problem wasn't picking Gano. The problem was picking Gano, and then cutting him a few years later in favor of Joey Slye, who is the worst kicker in team history. Piniero is actually a really good kicker too, just not quite as good as Butker or Gano have been. I think we'll be going with him for some time now because he's a top ten league kicker.

Of all the positions to complain about, kicker is actually the one where we are in an OK spot now.

I am more saddened by drafting Evan Mathis and us not being able to either develop him or see his potential and then he goes to Philly and becomes a top offensive lineman in the NFL for a number of seasons in a row.

 

Mike Maser wasn’t it? Got in his dog house.

As far as kickers, Butker getting passed on, who was ST coach that year? I’d look there before looking at Hurney.

Mathis didn't really come on until he, uh, optimized his supplemental nutrition regimen.

Was he juicing it up also? I just looked him up and it appears he put on some muscle and strength from one year to the next. He must have totally done it on vitamins, chicken and potatoes brother.

Dave drafted him got fired days before TC. Marty held on at the seasons start and even gave him a roster spot for a couple weeks. Then cut and place on PS for a week or two. KCs kicker got a injury and he started making history. I believe at one point he was the highest rated kicker in NFL history (100 kicks min), yep higher than tucker. 

 In a rare move with marty, I agree with keeping the vet gano over the rookie butker. Im fairly sure at the time gano had a stronger leg and this was the beginning of moving the kickoff closer. At the time panthers STs were awful at covering kicks and punts for that matter. 

I mean looking back at all the turnover and bad luck the panthers had since kasay, butker should have been the guy. But I think eddy is right there with him and my god do the panthers need a decent kicker with them having TD allergy.......

wrong on some.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
