We have the GOAT at one position...

what makes you think that? he's only missed 2 out of 13 attempts from 50+ in 4 years. he hasn't kicked more from that range only because we haven't asked him to. he's got good range. the long one he kicked this year he made it look easy. 

He's made one FG in the range I randomly threw out... a 56 yarder. We seem to punt when it's more than that. So the question is, when we're at the end of a game down 1... and we're looking at a 60 yard attempt, what play do we choose? Field goal or hail mary?

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. 

Tbf the entire panthers team hasn't been in high pressure situations or the playoffs...

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.

And Wilks stuck with him after he choked. 

That missed kick still hurts my heart.  That was an incredible hail mary, one of very few we've had in our history and it just blopped.  Also would have had us tie for the division which I dont know if we would have had the breaker with the bucs anyway, but its nice to imagine.

Doesn't matter now. Season is over.

He's definitely the 40-yard and less sniper. If we had meaningful games with him, we'd miss out on must-have-points when the range is 55-70. 

100% i read one artivle tucker attempted 92 kicks 50 yards or longer pinero has tried 11 or something like that

trust the money man. he's the best chance we've got in a situation like that. not even close.
