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...

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
