I'm thinking that this will be the end of Rhys Lloyd again

[chknwing]

Seriousy? A Rhys Lloyd thread? Man this lockout needs to end now.

[MHS831]

Akers is gone. The new KO rule should allow Kasay to kick off. I would suggest, however, that we develop a K on the PS. Lloyd's leg is strong but considered inaccurate. You all should know that accuracy is kind of important.

[I am Hubby]

I would believe that Rivera will take a long look at whomever can not only make FGs, but can get KOs into the endzone. Out of the two, I would think FGs is the more important factor, because even Kasay can now get his KOs near, or even into, the endzone. Not many teams with multiple kickers, I wonder why that is?

With that said, field position is extemely important. So having a strong leg in that area would seem to be a need. However, FGs are also very important, so having an accurate kicker would also seem to be a need. LLoyd is long, Kasay is accurate. Why can't we have one kicker that is both?

Just a thought, and GOOOO PANTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep... That's why I created this thread... Good job

[Ivan The Awesome]

Kasay needs to retire..

Kasay needs to retire..

gotta be getting close

Discouraging news from NJ Panther in regards to Rhys. I believe his info to be legit... Unfortunately I saw this coming with the amt of depth we have... Too bad man, rhys is awesome!

[beckersteen]

I feel that with the rule change it won't hurt us if we let him go. I don't think he could replace Kasey.

[CarolinaKat]

Kasay is going to the HOF as a Panther. Take that to the bank (of America staduim)

[jtnc]

Kasay needs to retire..

I hope the OP never retires have him on the field with his walker kicking FG's.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Kasay can kick here until he dies. Until he fuging dies.

[TruCatzFan]

I concur with all of you. Kasay's the FUGGIN man! I think it would be easier to know who we cut Rhys for... But it will never go down like that...

Oh wait, we did sign a new coach... Anythings possible

[OchoNueve]

Where did all this talk come from with Lloyd kicking field goals in the future? He is a called a kickoff specialist because that is all he does... kickoff. The only instance in which he might come in for a field goal would be for a 55+ yarder to win the game since Kasay's leg won't reach.

With the new kickoff rules in place, Rhys is a goner.

[PanthaSan]

Kasay is money, most often than not. My vote goes toward letting him decide when it's time to retire. I don't think he would just stay around ineffectively if it was detrimental to the team.

Lloyd has seem to have lost some kicking power of late. He used to be a guaranteed touchback but not no more.

I wouldn't even consider giving him Kasay's job until he proves he can still hit the long ball.

Just my .02
