Kicker Market?

Idk why he was short... looked like he was out kicking a chip shot instead of a 52 yarder. This guy's not a bad FG kicker, chill the hell out. The blocked FG was a missed block by Shockey.

I know why he was short. BC he sucks. Kasay still has the leg for that kick and he would have made it and the one earlier that Mare kicked right into the line.

I refer to my thread started last week: http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/68908-why-did-we-let-go-of-kasay.html

Today only supported my arguement. We haven't been kicking those 50+ FGs because Mare doesn't have the leg. Kasay made 55 last year for us and 53 this year. He would've made this FG. But supposedly Mare has a stronger leg. The facts don't support that claim.

Mare isn't a soccer-style kicker like Kasay. His kicks will always look like chip shots.

Only reason to hate Mare is he isn't Kasey.

Dude has been fine.

I don't hate him, but I think this was our worst investment of the offseason. And no, it's not because of Kasay...

I probably hold the Superbowl kick out of bounds against Kasay just as much as anyone... I appreciate what he did while he was here, but I had been waiting for us to get a solid kicker out of college to take his place for probably the last 5 years.

I didn't think we would sign a guy 3 or 4 years younger than him just b/c he could kick it into the endzone.

We've passed up multiple opportunities to kick FGs that were in Kasay's range this year and then today he gets blocked for kicking it low on a 30+ yarder and kicks it too high on the next one and misses the crossbar.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line on the chart, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.

      Because he's from Charlotte, grew up a Panthers fan, and could still make amazing money as an elite LG for his hometown team. And while I think he's a quality starting LT, he's not a Top 5 type of player either.  If he could prove to be a true elite LG, the money might not be that different than what he could make as a LT anyways. I'm not saying he will, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities.
