Annual reminder that Panthers drafted this guy and then lost him

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.

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
