From smoothies to kicks ( our new kicker)


MrBubba

Recommended Posts

Todd Carter moved home after college last spring and decided he needed a job. So, he began working 18-to-24 hours per week at Tropical Smoothie on Hill Rd.

But it didn't take him long to realize making smoothies for minimum wage wasn't his future, and he quit.

Again tired of “being a bum,” Carter has landed another job this year.

It's not quite blending fruit, juice and ice.

Carter, a Flint Carman-Ainsworth grad and former Grand Valley State kicker, signed a one-year, $320,000 contract Tuesday to become the Carolina Panthers' kickoff specialist.

maybe we can skip all the shitty talk of rooting for the underdog with 23423 camp fodder players and use that excuse on this one fella.

then we can focus on rooting for our players to step the hell up and fill the roles we drafted them for.

I don't remember Rhys Lloyd being all that great in the NFL before the Panthers signed him. He was undrafted and couldn't even play a full season (couldn't even stay on an active roster) in the NFL before coming to Carolina.

Granted, I do not know much about Todd Carter but why couldn't he make the roster? I am going to be optimistic about this signing.

agreed. when we signed him most people were scratching their heads. a kickoff specialist was pretty much unheard of but now they are popping up all over the place. msotly it's just a bunch of inaccurate big legged kickers who couldn't make it as a pro otherwise.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
