Can Jeff Reed be our 2nd Jeremy Shockey?

After #Panthers HC Rivera left the door open on a new kicker, I caught up w/former Steelers K Jeff Reed, who is from and lives in CLT (cont)

(cont) J. Reed said playing for hometown team would be a dream come true, he's working out daily and in the best shape of his life #Panthers

As of this afternoon, kicker Jeff Reed had not received call from #Panthers

The Shockey signing raised a lot of eyebrows mainly because his history, his attitude, and his age. But hes been really productive for a number of years. So far so good.

Jeff Reed is a local guy, and one would think he'd be humble for 1 more run. He's 32, meaning he should have several good years left if he really is healthy and he's ready to go.

possible, but Tuesday it workout day, so its not to late...yet. Idk for sure but he could live in the area.

Usually they put out calls the day before the workout so out of town kickers can get their flights scheduled etc. Unless the Panthers only called a select few.

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
