I'm thinking that this will be the end of Rhys Lloyd again

Akers is gone. The new KO rule should allow Kasay to kick off. I would suggest, however, that we develop a K on the PS. Lloyd's leg is strong but considered inaccurate. You all should know that accuracy is kind of important.

I would believe that Rivera will take a long look at whomever can not only make FGs, but can get KOs into the endzone. Out of the two, I would think FGs is the more important factor, because even Kasay can now get his KOs near, or even into, the endzone. Not many teams with multiple kickers, I wonder why that is?

With that said, field position is extemely important. So having a strong leg in that area would seem to be a need. However, FGs are also very important, so having an accurate kicker would also seem to be a need. LLoyd is long, Kasay is accurate. Why can't we have one kicker that is both?

Just a thought, and GOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did all this talk come from with Lloyd kicking field goals in the future? He is a called a kickoff specialist because that is all he does... kickoff. The only instance in which he might come in for a field goal would be for a 55+ yarder to win the game since Kasay's leg won't reach.

With the new kickoff rules in place, Rhys is a goner.

Kasay is money, most often than not. My vote goes toward letting him decide when it's time to retire. I don't think he would just stay around ineffectively if it was detrimental to the team.

Lloyd has seem to have lost some kicking power of late. He used to be a guaranteed touchback but not no more.

I wouldn't even consider giving him Kasay's job until he proves he can still hit the long ball.

Just my .02

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      Wow that’s actually really cool chatgpt can do that Although, as we know Arizona sat in soft zone the entire second half. So there was a lot of dinking and dunking, but that’s the right thing to do in that situation.  Week 1 pass chart doesn’t look bad. He pushes the ball downfield more than several other quarterbacks I’ve watched. For some reason the huddle thinks other quarterbacks are constantly throwing 60 yard bombs. That is absolutely not the case. Some quarterbacks aren’t taking any deep shots at all.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.
