Annual reminder that Panthers drafted this guy and then lost him

I was dating a girl who had Georgia tech tickets while he was there and he was the highlight of those teams. He is also apparently a very good smash brothers player 

He was also an active participant in the misinformation campaign around the attempted Kansas abortion ban back in 2022. One thing to have an opinion/support a position, another to spout the inaccurate bullshit that group was putting out there in an attempt to overturn the choice.

I mean, Kicker might genuinely be one of our 2 or 3 strongest positions over the last few seasons as sad as that is.  We've lucked into some pretty good ones with Gonzalez/Pineiro.  I dunno how much a marginal upgrade at Kicker would've moved the needle for us.

Yeah, but it’s a prime example of how bad our organization evaluates talent and the mismanagements of the salary cap.

I really don't think it was that bad if you objectively evaluate all of the details at the time.  As someone else pointed out, it was reported that Butker struggled in camp to separate himself from Gano.  I think it makes sense why we were reluctant to just hand him the starting job right off the bat.  We signed him to our Practice Squad (didn't just outright cut him like some people claim) and the Chiefs only claimed him because their starting kicker got injured.  It's not like everyone in the league were drooling at the uber talented Harrison Butker and immediately pounced as soon as we foolishly stashed him on the Practice Squad.  So I don't even know how much credit I'm willing to give to the Chiefs' talent evaluation when they ostensibly would've kept rolling with Cairo Santos all season long if he hadn't gotten injured.  Seems much more likely that they just happened to luck into a really good kicker with Butker.

Where I do think we screwed up with Butker, was not giving him enough opportunities in the actual preseason.  We alternated Gano and Butker all preseason instead of just giving Butker all the kicks in order to give him the opportunity to win the starting job, as I believe we should've done since Gano was more-or-less a known commodity.

Can we stop with the “what could have been” and look to the future? I mean this group (forum) acts like a guy who dated a hot girl once and keeps reminiscing of the “good times”

When there is something to look to, sure. At the moment though it's all deja vu.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
