Kasay's explaination on why he wanted to play for New Orleans...

Kasay admitted becoming comfortable with a new team on short notice would be an adjustment, but he was perfect on the six field goals he attempted during practice, at distances from 19 to 33 yards from alternating hash marks.

"This is a big change, obviously," Kasay said. "I spent a lot of years in Charlotte, and this is a great opportunity. I'm very grateful for the chance. (The Panthers) had some success for sure, but we lost our fair share, too. I had a few (winning kicks against the Saints), but those are in the rear-view mirror now."This is a real blessing; this is a very talented team. To have the opportunity to watch practice today, the tempo they use, their attention to detail, the things that they do, there's the making for a good year."[/I]http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf...asay_cons.html

There's a nice back-handed bitch slap to the way our team has been run (coaching wise).

Don't think it was done intentionally, but he obviously noticed a huge difference in how the practices are being run. Can't blame him for wanting to be a part of a winning organization. Also in the article says that he was perfect on all his kicks during the first few days of practice.

Apparently this is a recurring theme with the Saints. Here is an article about them signing pro-bowl center Olin Kreutz this offseason...

Saints Coach Sean Payton said center Olin Kreutz, the 13-year veteran New Orleans signed Friday turned down higher paying offers from other teams.

The attraction, Payton made clear but left unsaid, was a shot at winning a Super Bowl. Kreutz joined general manager Mickey Loomis to watch the Saints practice Thursday evening and what he saw was worth more than more dollars somewhere else, according to Payton.

"He actually had a flight out this morning and he never got on it," Payton said.

Coaching and Front office are obviously doing things the right way in New Orleans.

Saints do not equal winning organization.

They have been a winning team for the past few years....that I give you.

But as an organization, they are one of the biggest losign organizations in the HISTORY of the NFL.

Apparently John Kasay isn't intrested in playing for the 1978 Saints squad...

As you just said they are winning now, and John Kasay just signed with them now. All I'm saying is that you can't blame a guy for wanting a chance to win a superbowl before his career ends, just like Olin Kruetz is as well.

LOL, we would have had a little more success if not for his kickoff at the end of SB 38.

New Orleans knows all about losing, they did it for 40 years.

He should show a little more gratitude to an organization that bent over backwards to accommodate him for several years while his skills were waning.

I'm grateful for the contributions Kasay made as a Panther, but he's the enemy now... show him no mercy.

He did have a chance. He couldn't even hit the field on a kickoff in the Super Bowl.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      By Mr Mojo Risin · Posted

      I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.

      This is the Buc's division to lose.  We come out on top only if the wheels come off if Tampa.  I agree we can be--and should be--better than the Saints and likely the Falcons.  A 9-8 season would be nice, but it isn't great.  It's mediocre and that something the Panthers haven't been in nearly a decade, but would be reason to celebrate.  Heck, the Steelers will likely fire Tomlin over a 9-8 season because they are tired of being mediocre.

      First game was a awful stat line. 2nd DNP due to ankle Summer league doesn't help what hes bring, its dang near YMCA pickup game level.  I heavily question the type of player he is and his future was NOT, not not not what you use #4 pick on. Hornets got him on visit and still made the pick, they better hope he has some Larry legend in him. I maintain huge questions.
