I hope we bring in some kicker off the couch who just absolutely kills it.

I mean, I get a guy wanting to get paid his worth. But there are VERY few kickers with actual leverage in this league. He ain't one of them. Pretty much no kicker on one of the worst rosters in the league is one of them.  You might make a kick or two that fugs up our draft position. Get lost. LOL

At the end of the day, most NFL kickers can be great if they never have to make clutch kicks. When your team is complete ass there are no clutch kicks. 

Let him go to a contender and we'll find out how good he really is

I feel uneasy with a kicker who’s feeling undervalued, I feel like that brings in a whole new kind of mind goblin that could plague his game. 

Also he is def not worth it. I can’t think of many who would be. He’d need a huge leg and accuracy, I don’t think he’s done anything from 55 plus

Yeah, there is something ominous underlying all of this that portends HOF for Eddie.

Thanks to Eddy for his contributions, but his clutch kick misses and inability to be trusted with 53+ yarders doesn't warrant security or an extension...  especially when you have a rookie in camp who isn't missing anything and nailing kicks from 60 on the regular. 

I honestly wish they would just tell Eddy to kick rocks prior to camp so we can move on.

Maybe he should go and I don't mind going with the new kid, but his only clutch miss last year was a single 60 yarder.  And if memory serves, he only had three situations that would be defined as clutch kicks, and he made two of them.  And he was actually 5 of 7 from 50 plus with a 54 and a 56 yarder.  He was definitely in the top half of the NFL in terms of long range kicks.  His kicking was probably one of the few decent spots on the team last year.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
