obviously, and I alluded to that. doesn't change the fact that kickers have way more pressure than just about any other position and those situations are where they really earn their paychecks. I like Eddy and hope we can get into those situations and he makes the big kicks. But having not seen it yet I'm not going to consider him a top tier kicker. He gets an "incomplete" evaluation, through no fault of his own but that's what it is.

I mean, they absolutely 100% are. 9-1 with the only loss being a very close game on the road against another juggernaut in a game where 1 or 2 plays go differently and they could've easily won. They're coasting through the regular season like they did last year and still have the best record in the league. Anything can happen in this league but the safe money is on the Chiefs blowing us out badly.

He's reliable and I have no complaints but as others have pointed out his range is limited especially compared to other extremely accurate guys like Tucker, Butker who do have the range. Also, we have never seen him in the playoffs/real high pressure situations. He's had some kicks that were important in the context of a single game but not one that was actually important in the long run at all, not surprising with the team being trash and all games winding up being meaningless and not something he can control but still something we need to see from him before I'm all that confident in him being a top kicker in the league.

Chiefs could essentially clinch a bye today by winning with a Ravens win

Can has his faults but he’s done so much more for this franchise than Tepper could ever even dream of doing at the current rate. Cam would surely be a better owner too

Will go to my grave still saying this. Turning point of the game was that call and the play right after it. We had momentum before that poo call and the strip sack

fug Tepper, seriously such a dirtbag

PFF sells themselves as being some super objective data based evaluation science but in reality it is extremely subjective and varies significantly based on who there is grading each player. And I don’t believe they really take into account the play calls/design. It’s an interesting piece of information but I still prefer the eye test. Which honestly it does usually sync up with but not always. I think in 2013 they ranked Luke as being average or some nonsense.

Look I'm glad he's improving but yeah it's incredibly obvious just how low the bar was set by his play last year and before the benching this year because even in these 2 wins he flat out has not even been an average QB and the team won in spite of him against bad teams. I think what Bryce defenders (can't believe there are any at this point) don't understand is nearly every single Panthers fan would love for the dude to turn it around and be a franchise QB who can lead this team to a SB win. The reality for everyone with eyes and brain watching though is he's not the guy, is nowhere even remotely close to being the guy and wasting any more time on trying to make him the guy will set this team back even further. With Dalton hurt of course we had to go back to Bryce but I'm pretty damn confident in saying he's not in our future plans and won't be barring a miracle true turn around in his level of play. Even like 5-6 more wins the rest of the season wouldn't do it unless he balls out in them -- which, color me skeptical.

Such a waste of a great talent here man. Ughhh

I think the decision to fire him has been made but he will last the season while they tank.

is Chuba the first guy we've had in like 5 years who after getting paid actually continued to try and ball out?

The game is slowing down for Bryce that's definitely noticeable. But I still think he just has way too many limitations to ever be anything more than a backup in this league. Still it is nice to see him improving for the first time in his career.

dude I've come to absolutely love Chuba. why did we draft a running back so high??

did he just say that 2 penalties on the giants and 1 on us offset???

The thing is the dude could be 100% about football and only football and that doesn't mean it would ever translate to the field in the NFL. He obviously has the physical limitations but aside from that the dude just does not read the field well or make good in-game decisions. One would think the more practice, studying defenses, experience the better but reality is even with all that some guys just never have it. Which appears to be the case with Bryce.

I like Chuba but this just makes no sense with the brooks pick.

in theory but I'm not sure dude will be able to stay on the field for them/ he's been insanely injury prone lately, and lots of soft tissue stuff which tends to linger

Ickey is literally the only NFL player from these 2 drafts, and he's hanging onto a starting role by a thread. Just atrocious. And made even worse by Bryce also costing an extra 1st overall pick + more. Still feeling the effects next year not having our 2nd that will certainly be in the 30s.

lol, I enjoy beating the Aints because fug em that’s why but Morgan is still atrocious as is this entire team. Sorry but it’s the truth

and the last time we had a Cam Ward in pro sports in the Carolinas led to the only pro championship in the Carolinas.

lol, 4 blue chip players??? Brown is really the only one with an argument and he only put up 1 year of being "blue chip" caliber before getting hurt for the season. who knows if he'll ever even get back to that level from last year, I doubt it honestly. Horn is probably the next closest but he's as injury prone as it gets and despite his play being phenomenal in prior years when he was on the field, he's just been a bit above average this year and I don't view him as a blue chip player. I don't think any other player on this team is even remotely close to being a blue chip player.

10% win% lol. we should just roll with him the rest of the year at this point, wonder if we can get him to like 8% which has to be a record for a QB with at least 10 starts.

Pathetic

Should be able to get a day 2 pick easily. The guy gets open damn near every single play and he's got YAC chops as well. Seriously this dude with a legit QB would be a 1200+ yards guy. Outside of Moore he's our best WR since Smitty.
