1. Jason Elam, Atlanta. The bottom-line question I asked in making this call was: "Which kicker would you want out there with the game on the line?" That's why I went with Elam.

2. John Kasay, Carolina. I certainly wouldn't mind having Kasay if Elam wasn't available.

3. Matt Bryant, Tampa Bay. Appears the Bucs aren't certain about this guy. But after kicking through a personal tragedy last year, I wouldn't mind having him on my team.

4. Garrett Hartley, New Orleans. Did a good job solidifying a shoddy kicking game when he joined the Saints last year.

5. Mike Nugent, Tampa Bay. Brought in to compete with Bryant. Had shown a big leg before suffering an injury with the Jets.

I hate to admit it, but I almost agree. Kasay has been solid for many years, and he's the original Panther, but he has also fudged some key kicks in the past.

Kasay's been clutch since 1995. You guys need to get over the Super Bowl and learn how to blame the defense/coaching staff for that loss...

He has been clutch for that 99.9% of his life, but you can't deny that we could have possibly won the Super Bowl if that kickoff would not have gone out of bound, and to your other comment of blaming the coaching staff...well there is only so much you can do right when the opposing team knows everything about you (via camera men and spygate).

No, I don't have to admit that at all. What if that kick was in bounds and the returner returned it to the 40? Same difference, it's on the defense to keep them from scoring and they couldn't do it. And the coaching staff going for two instead of kicking an extra point twice dictated a different approach late in the game.

Yeah the going for two was a BS call, but you never know what could have been, if the kick was inbounds.

Yeah I know, it could have been run back for a touchdown. I'm really tired of people blaming Kasay for losing that game. If you, (and by that I don't actually mean you personally CarolinaPanthers8789) can't understand that there were many other factors involved and actually think that the Kasay kick is the sole reason for the loss, then there's nothing more to say...

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
