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.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
