the way I see it, we just increased the $ for a punter and got a guy the same age with worse stats.

Explain this so my wife can yell what you type up to me on the roof, where I will be contemplating things.

Best I can tell, We aren’t going to give an old punter guaranteed money while Titans would therefore we had to replace him.

P Sam Martin signs with Carolina Panthers

  • 2024 PFF Grade: 67.8
  • Contract: 1 year, $3 million
  • PFF Projected Contract: N/A
  • PFF Deal Grade: Above Average

Martin has been a reliable punter, earning a PFF punting grade above 65.0 in each of the past five seasons. He should be an upgrade over Johnny Hekker, who posted PFF punting grades of 60.2 in 2023 and 53.3 in 2024.

yeah but that PFF grade does not take into consideration that Johnny Hekker in 2023 -2024 was punting the ball on average almost 80 times per each season while on the other hand Sam Martin was averaging only about 50 punts per season 

& i am almost certain that a higher volume of punts would in turn most likely lower your overall PFF grade...just saying

bruh it's a punter

From App State, where I grew up going to games, watching him punt. Watching Armani dart around and making eventually making Chad Henne look silly, and forcing Michigan to hire Rich Rod in an effort to cash in on the spread option offense. The change in AP Poll rules allowing FCS teams to get votes in the FBS Top 25. 

It’s always big to see someone local on the Panthers, but apparently only Tar Holes and Game Hens get to be homers about it. 
 

Sam Martin is a great NFL punter as well. He’s not Hekker but he’s very, very good.

Same age as Hekker. Based on what I just read on Bills reddit he's been largely average to below average numbers wise. I assume we'll be looking for a long term solution in the not so distant future.

Now to see who our place kicker will be.

Based on the numbers included in the earlier post I don't see how he's largely average top ten in pretty much all punting metrics.

And dude he's a freaking punter 

The average starting punter is 30.5 years old and most play well until 40.

Settle down I'm not arguing he's too old to be a Punter. I'm simply offering information. But it's clear that the team will be planning on going younger at the position in the upcoming future. And that's a good thing.

I watched a lot of Bills games with my father in law. Martins numbers are down because he didn’t have to punt a lot and when he did he was usually punting into a small box. The Bills rarely go three and out which means he likely usually punted from the 40 or more.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
