Respecting John Kasay

Recommended Posts

With a new coach coming in, 2 roster spots for K might mean we bring in a younger guy. Sunday could be Kasay's last game. I have not heard this, but it is common sense.

Not only is he a class act, but a lot of people don't realize that Kasay is Steve Smith's best friend on the team. At OTAs, they are together through warmups, chatting the entire time. I wonder what SS would be without Kasay's influence. Imagine if neither Smith nor Kasay are on next season's roster. It could happen.

It is up to the new coach, not any of you, so your statements without reasons are nonsense. Just sayin' that it could happen. And to suggest he won't be cut because he is has been with the team from the beginning is something you need to step back and rethink. If I am a coach and I can find a kicker who is good and can kickoff, I consider making the tough decision. I might want the roster spot for a position player.

Kasay has earned Favre status imo. He can leave when he wants. Keep in mind Kasay is a professional he will have the humility to hang it up when he's no longer effective.

I agree with this statement. But a franchise QB is a bit more valuable than a K, and Farve was still performing at a high level--so is Kasay. I hope he stays, but I don't want to take it for granted should SUnday be his last game.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
