I can think of no classier person associated with the Carolina Panthers for the last decade and a half, and I wish John Kasey nothing but the best. I would hope the rest of Panther Nation would join me in the same wish, and extend a thanks for a lot of great memories.

A great kicker, but he was so much more than that. He was the trusted conscience of the team. His contributions to the team off the field, behind the scenes are likely much bigger than will ever be known.

I believe he deserves to be in the ring of honor. His leg won games. His leadership got the team through difficult times. Guys like him do not come around very often.

Sad day, but knew it would be here someday soon. Wish he had retired instead of being cut.

Best wishes John. Thanks for everything you have done for this team.

Sad to see him go, but knew the end was near.

He was so instrumental to our super bowl run, however it is often overshadowed by the out of bounds kick off.

It will be different not seeing number four trot out there for the kick. I always felt good when Kasay was going out there (almost a lock under 50 yards it seemed). I really hope he plays a few more years and continues his climb up the all time charts.

In a league that often mocks kickers, Kasay was a leader on and off the field.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
