He incurs the wrath of every fanbase he has ever kicked for. He should not be on this team. We need to start a Free (us from) Olindo Mare movement. With t-shirts and rallies that we actually show up for.

Man up, take the cap hit, and find someone who doesn't pee his big boy pants in tough situations.

This is way out of the ordinary for me, but I am going to mildly defend Mare:

- His contract is not out of line with top 5 kickers in the league.

- His ranking, based on Profootbalfocus (a very reputable site that has a complex grading formula done every week on every player throughout the year), is top 5.

- He should not be missing chipshots for sure. He was the worst from 30-39 yrds & 50+, but again he ranked towards the top of the league overall, no matter how much we all get disgusted by him.

I am by far, not a Mare supporter, but his screw ups early in the year made every thing he did worse. I cussed him out everytime I saw his ugly face.

No need to flame me, I am just stating the facts (that I trust). I can't post them b/c it is a paid membership for premium stats.

I hope he gets beat out in camp. The Panthers have shown a commitment to improving special teams, this has got to a be a part of the plan not yet executed.

I agree. No matter what we take a huge cap hit, but even tho his overall performance was rated top 5, he missed to many easy kicks.

To be fair, Mare was only a 82% kicker in 2010 before them gave him that huge contract. His % in 2011 was 78.6%, so Hurney should have known what he was getting. Only a 4% difference. Pretty sad if you ask me.

Just add it to the list of fug ups by Hurney

Not to flame you, and I know this was discussed ad nauseum throughout last season, but it's not the number of kicks you miss as much as the kicks themselves. If he can boot anything through between 20-49 week after week, but totally craps the bed on any pressure situation kick that does or could decide a game's outcome, his value drops.

Ideally, we all want a guy who's great in the clutch that we aren't overly reliant on - meaning our offense can score TD's more than settling for FG's.

Agreed. The info I was referencing takes the situation into account, but also his perfomance in KOs for touchbacks, etc.

The bottomline is that Mare is not worth his contract & we could have gotten better performance in kick accuracy percentage form lower priced guys.

I don't know about you guys but the first time he lined up for a field goal it felt like my shoes were on the wrong feet. Just a weird feeling and I had no confidence in him. I've been watching Kasay kick for us since I was 10 years old. (Joe Nedney and Shayne Graham that one year he was hurt). I always took field goals for granted with Kasay. I just assumed they were going in...

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
