I really don't see why in hell we signed this guy for?? we give him a fat contract and he can't even kick 50+ yarders?? did the FO forget how many 50+ yarders kasay has kicked and made all these years?? doesn't make any sense to me and we really could have gotten a much better kicker for much cheaper imo.

Don't get me started, I never liked him, ever.

All I every hear is 'his % and Kasay's are about the same or his is better'. I always want to ask, yeah, ok, and and how many of his kicks were game winners compared to Kasay's.

There is a reason this guy has been to multiple teams in his career.

Time for the Panthers to find some blood in the kicking game, both punting and kicking in the draft; other teams have done it, surely they can too.

Wait a minute...we complained weeks ago when we punted instead of attempting a FG in excess of 50 yards, now we complain because when we actually attempted a FG in excess of 50 yards, Mare missed it.

So which is it?

Kasay missed a few 50 plus yarders as well. He even missed a 42 yarder last year that would have beat Cleveland.

Can't really blame that one on Mare. It was more the fault of the penalty that pushed us back.

Maybe the blocked fg was Mare's fault though I thought that one of the Bears got a hand on it even before it hit peppers.

You're confusing them.

I didn't complain about it but it would be nice if he could actually kick 50+ yarders dont you think?

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
