I still believe in Eddy Pineiro

He’s what we got so hope that he works out long-term, but I’d like a kicker who can kick touchbacks. He doesn’t have that strong of a leg. Even before the new kickoff rules he couldn’t kick touchbacks.

I get he's cracked in big moments to win games before (tbh I've kind of forgotten but fans here say that so), but those misses were not big moments. Those were routine mental misses that I think he can get over and don't indicate long term much of anything. I bet he would have redeemed himself in OT if given the chance.

Oh well, next game.

they said during the KC game he was hurt and it would limit what they could ask of him.   I wonder if he is still just nursing something.  Overall those were non-pressure easy kicks....which is what he built his resume on as being the most accurate kicker in NFL history doing. 

Yeah. He needs surgery and needs the fluid drained from his knee weekly??

regardless a middling kicker.

He had a bad game.  Eddy is still among the League's most accurate kickers.  Both of his misses were narrowly so.  They were not outright shanks. Prior to yesterday, he'd missed one FG all year and he's been perfect on PATs.  Eddy will be okay.  He was solid all last year too, but had that one stinker game.  I'll keep a kicker that's solid 16 of 17 games a year.

Eddie has kept us in far more games than he has lost us. This an aberration for him. No telling if anything else was going on. No kick is an easy kick. If he gets the yips off hen different story. 

Very true. I'm pretty sure Bryce would be winless without Eddy, so......

This

He said that he would have to have his knee drained often and that there was surgery in the offseason

    • I'd argue that he has easily been a top 15 player the last several weeks.  In the last two weeks alone, he was equal to Mahomes and outplayed Baker. PFF says he is #1 in the NFL in "big time throws" the last two weeks. That doesn't mean it automatically translates to him being better than other QBs in the long term. But he has looked just as good as any Year 2 QB since he returned to the lineup.    Yes, including Stroud. Against KC and TB, he was the best Panthers player on the field.
    • It seemed like Bryce being tough as a mutha….. last year caught up with him. He took a million hits was pressured every other play last year and it seemed like he was in a rush earlier this season to get the ball out his hand. His confidence was low as it gets, he wasn’t comfortable in the pocket at all and every target he’s had so far has been subpar or below outside of AT. Mingo in Dallas looks like a 7th rd WR, TMJ out the league Ian T being your top TE (yuck) I like D Johnson but he’s not that dude he’s talented can make things happen but being a team player and good teammate matters a lot. Combine those factors and I can see why Bryce struggled earlier. His current group of WRs are trying to make plays for him and the team doesn’t pout or complain if they don’t get the ball in game that helps. His confidence is through the roof he saw Andy standing in the pocket comfortable making plays and realized I can do that trust my line they’re a top 5-7 pass blocking unit trust them.Now he sees he can make plays on this level with decent blocking and a few play makers he’s looked like his normal self. A winner who’s won on all levels I’m not saying he’s Mahomes or anything close it’s just he can play ball at this level but he needs his situation to be set up way better then last year when he had TMJ and DJ Chark being his weak azz to options that’s not going to work for any young QB.  I’d say it’s a combination of things obviously coaching being one with the O-line and the new hungry play makers we’ve acquired roll that up and you have what we’ve seen lately a young QB learning his way around the NFL and looking good doing it.
    • I totally agree with this.  My thought is that there were too many expectations that were placed on him. He was straight out of college. I think as a freshman quarterback, he was expected to start playing like Patrick Mahomes.  My analogy is that he was thrown into the deep end of the swimming pool and expected to swim to shore. after he was benched, he had the opportunity to learn from a veteran quarterback.  He was no longer under pressure to perform.  He had the opportunity to learn at his pace.     When Bryce got the second opportunity to play, he started to play as an NFL quarterback. (Not a college trained quarterback. ).  I think he also gained enough confidence.
