what makes you think that? he's only missed 2 out of 13 attempts from 50+ in 4 years. he hasn't kicked more from that range only because we haven't asked him to. he's got good range. the long one he kicked this year he made it look easy. 

He's made one FG in the range I randomly threw out... a 56 yarder. We seem to punt when it's more than that. So the question is, when we're at the end of a game down 1... and we're looking at a 60 yard attempt, what play do we choose? Field goal or hail mary?

He's reliable and I have no complaints but as others have pointed out his range is limited especially compared to other extremely accurate guys like Tucker, Butker who do have the range. Also, we have never seen him in the playoffs/real high pressure situations. He's had some kicks that were important in the context of a single game but not one that was actually important in the long run at all, not surprising with the team being trash and all games winding up being meaningless and not something he can control but still something we need to see from him before I'm all that confident in him being a top kicker in the league. 

Tbf the entire panthers team hasn't been in high pressure situations or the playoffs...

obviously, and I alluded to that. doesn't change the fact that kickers have way more pressure than just about any other position and those situations are where they really earn their paychecks. I like Eddy and hope we can get into those situations and he makes the big kicks. But having not seen it yet I'm not going to consider him a top tier kicker. He gets an "incomplete" evaluation, through no fault of his own but that's what it is.

And Wilks stuck with him after he choked. 

That missed kick still hurts my heart.  That was an incredible hail mary, one of very few we've had in our history and it just blopped.  Also would have had us tie for the division which I dont know if we would have had the breaker with the bucs anyway, but its nice to imagine.

trust the money man. he's the best chance we've got in a situation like that. not even close.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      By Donald LaFell · Posted

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
