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.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually the support seems legitimate and not just when in public. It is a team sport and players have to believe and trust their QB and give their all for the team. Lately that seems to be developing. As players have shared their is a different culture being built for the Panthers as winning helps players see the changes result in some success.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.
