Sucks that it won’t count as a record because it’s not an actual regular season game. Guy has a leg on him for sure. 

Got a feeling that in the conditions he made it and clearing the goal post by 10 yards.....

 

Its only a matter of time before he beats the record by 4 or 5 yards in the regular season.

Yes and no

End of half situations, sure, but in reality, even if he has the leg for that long of a kick, 98 times out of 100 they aren't going to even consider it because missing it gives the other team crazy good field position.

Not to mention even knowing he can make it in a game situation..... he's probably hitting 1 or 2 out of every ten tries.

Can you imagine somebody gets to where they can kick 80 yarders and we’ve got teams starting on the 35 now. Get the ball at the 35, run, run, run, fg.

The physiological human limit for force generated by a human is around 75 yards.... in average sea level conditions.

Did they do that on sports science or mythbusters or something? I’d watch that.

I believe so, I clicked an article with it on X showing research trying to find it again lol keep in mind it was referring to game conditions with the ball having to have a trajectory clearing the lines as well.

Justin Tucker hit an 87 yard in warm ups.

I think half of the Cam Little situation is the Steelers special teams not doing well on that play

Not the same thing.... like at all, the research is also taking into account a minimum angle trajectory to clear the lines (which you dont need to do in warm ups) shoot guys have made it through the up rights on kickoffs all the time, that FLAT trajectory is NOT possible with offensive and defensive linemen 7 yards in front of the ball.

Higher trajectory = more force required

The average starting field position is the 29 yard line...

So they only need 16 yards on average to be in this guys range....thats kind of sick.

The team isn’t going to be kicking 70 yard field goals unless time is running out. That leaves the opposing team also only needing about 12 yards to be in FG range.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
