Kasay Told Gano To Wear #4, So Shut Up Already

For the first time in franchise history, a player other than John Kasay – and another kicker, no less – will don the No. 4 jersey for Carolina in a regular-season game.

But Gano got Kasay’s blessing before outrage could set in.

“I talked to John Kasay about it. I know him pretty well,” said Gano, who wore No. 43 at Florida State and No. 4 with the Redskins. “We talked about it and he was fine about that. It was my number I had before, so I feel comfortable with that.

“John was a great kicker. He’s a guy I watched for years. I love the No. 4, so I feel very happy to be able to wear it here.”

That doesn't make it any less wrong.

That's like your best friend asking if he can date your ex-girlfriend. You're probably going to say yes, but your not going to be happy about it.

I'm just going to laugh at my friend and ask him how my dick tastes. Then tell him about her salad tossing fetish.

I'm guessing you haven't been around the Panthers since the conception of the team. John Kasay embodies what the Carolina Panthers was and should be (not what it is currently), the Panthers Organization made a mistake in letting him go but are to prideful to admit that they made a mistake and re-sign him.

Me? I've followed the Panthers before they even played a snap. But I'll say the same thing I said in the other threads. I'd be willing to say, us fans are more upset than Kasay himself. Why get upset over something that doesn't even upset the man the number is tied too?

it's more like the situation you described except a bunch of people external to it are telling you how to feel.

Don't get me wrong, Kasay cares way less than the Panthers fan base but to allow a kicker that most likely is just a rental to dawn the number four is pointless when there are so many more numbers he could take.

Individuals that have been fans since the conception of the team will understand me a little better. That is no shot to you or anyone else (for all I know, you have been a fan since the conception), it's just plain and simple... next to Sam Mills; John Kasay embodies what the Panthers Organization was all about (WAS... all about).

See my first post...

Do you really think Kasay would say that he doesn't want Gano to wear his number? Do you honestly think Kasay would have said no?

How exactly does he embody all that? By being some guy who kicked for a long time?

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
