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.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
