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...

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud.

      The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By countryboi · Posted

      I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
