Fitz had a good day today. Not that worried about kicker to be honest. We have a rookie with upside and we have a vet with a lot of NFL experience. We'll be alright there. I'm gonna be paying a lot more attention to the young pass catchers, pass rushers, and Bryce. Those three areas will determine how good we can be.

you really don't know what you have in a kicker until they are put in pressure moments. 

I mean, we are celebrating the fact one of the most "accurate" kickers in NFL history is finally gone.  I guess we will see what this kid has this season.

Because he has an attitude and weak leg.  Let's not pretend everything was great just because the stat sheet looks good.

We had to go for it a lot of times when we shouldn't have because we knew "accurate Eddy" didn't stand a chance at hitting.

to clarify, I wasn't complimenting the last kicker.  I'm saying, making kicks in practice or even in games at a high rate......isn't how you define kickers.  Our last guy is one of best technically.   But he wasn't.  Because when he missed mattered more than his makes. 

So who knows if we got a good one on our roster yet.  That's my only point.  He could go 50/50 at camp.  You only know when they get asked about those pressure/game winning kicks.

I agree we will not know until the pressure is on, but what do you want the guy to do?  He has impressive film, and is nailing it at camp.  He is doing all he can right now, and I have not heard anything negative about him or his attitude.

For sake of discussion and so it doesn't look like I am baselessly bashing Eddy...

He had two attempts at greater than 50 yards.  He made 1 (53).  This to me, shows a lack of confidence in his leg.  Most of the actual top kickers in the league have around 15 attempts.  Dallas's kicker went 14/17 with a long of 65.

It is hard to gauge a kicker until you need him with the game on the line.  My kicker in college went on the NFL for a 10-year career--he wanted the shine.  We knew we had a weapon.  I don't know what it is like to want to go for it on 4th and 5 on the 34 yard line because your guy can't nail it.

We will be scoring TONS of touchdowns and going for 2 point conversions this season, we don't need no kicker! Also no punting, going for it on 4th downs! 

Did we hire Dan Campbell as our head coach?

      Winning isn't enough for Panther fans.

      By kass · Posted

      Winning games and be a +500 team are good. But the goal is to win Super Bowl.  Chiefs had Alex Smith, went to playoff twice and still replaced him.   BY as of now: - To many fumbles - Completion in the intermediate range is just far below acceptable - Not enough of a deep throw threat....   The stats you try use is deceiving.  Catchable......  That is an opinion. Show me the completion %. And also, how does BY compare to other QBs using the stats you cited. Oh... ranked at 27

      The Entitlement Paradox: When Winning Isn't Enough for Panther fans.    Just the other season(s) we were praying for wins by any means. Brought in every run of the mill QB you could think of.  We know all sides of the ball was bad like egregious bad. However some how we have won 5 games and TOXIC ENTITLEMENT has emerged.    We are a team that has to take wins by anymeans nothing has changed. Keep pounding means it aint gonna be perfect!!    Some panther fans have now developed a toxic entitlement where even victories feel insufficient, demanding flawless performance, or perfection, which stems from historical success in which we dont have any lol. This mindset poisons communities by fostering relentless criticism, harassment, and ingratitude that undermine team morale and alienate casual supporters. For the new Carolina Panthers, this could manifest as fans booing Bryce Young after gritty wins for low passing yards despite low turnovers, pressuring tepper into premature changes mid-rebuild, or driving away talent through online abuse!! eroding the positive momentum from their recent 4-game streak has brought us. Trust and believe the players do see your toxicity.    Anyways here are some positive stats.      Most Accurate QB on... 20+ Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (79.2%) 2. Sam Darnold (79.2%) 3. Bryce Young (75.0%) 10-19 Yard Throws 1. Jaxson Dart (88.0%) 2. Jayden Daniels (82.9%) 3. Drake Maye (80.7%) 0-9 Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (92.9%) 2. Spencer Rattler (92.6%) 3. Bryce Young (91.7%) @FantasyPtsData
