Let's talk about the real position that we need to fix....

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

My goodness we need a kicker next season for those close divisional games. We need to win in those make or break situations.

[jtnc]

Agreed, if Mare misses a playoff winner he's good as dead.

[klbishop143]

yep. draft one. cant be any worse than what we got.

isnt the reason j kasay went to no because no kicker hurt his foot? if we have the chance Id say bring back john

interesting proposition sir...

[Disinfranchised]

I would think this would be addressed, however, not by a long shot our biggest problem. If we can fix the defense, we'd alt least make the pla offs. Th offense has proven their ability to put enough points on the board. I'd like to see a D that could put some pressure on the QB. That just aint happening. Then work on the D backs. SB time!

bringing back kasay would be a horrible move.

if we are going to replace mare it has to be with someone better and who we don't have to spend another roster spot on because he can't kick-off, and someone with a future.

kasay is as old as dirt. we need someone that is going to be around for a long time. we need a young kasay.

let's try looking forward, shall we?

another panther fan with their eyes in the rearview mirror......

this coaching staff is not going to go backwards.... and wishing for it is crazy.

up grade BOTH kicking positions.

[rmoneyg35]

I would love for us to get a new kicker. I really would love to see us draft one so we can have a new kicker for the future. The only problem with drafting a kicker is having to develop him and he will probably have to take some time to learn the game. I would rather have a vet if we can find one good enough. I wish we could of had Akers. I wouldn't mind us getting a new punter as well.

Are their any good kickers worth getting? what is the common round kickers are drafted in?

[Lumps]

We HAVE to replace him. If we had a kicker that could kick a 50 yarder our offense would become that much more lethal because they wouldn't have to get it to the 20 to maybe have a chance for 3.

If we don't get rid of him mark my words there will be a very important game that will make or break us most likely, 45+ yards and our hope will be on Mare. Want to bet he'll make it? I don't.

[klbishop143]

how much developing does a kicker need? honest question.

seems like they would be asked to do the same thing they've been doing for years, only ina different uniform.

[DawgzLife]

Mare drives me crazy, but we do have to look at ST coaching & ST OL play to some degree.

Mare has missed some clearly on his own & we should not be payinga guy that much $ to suck.

If he gets replaced it needs to be someone who can kick it thru the endzone on KOs & make the kicks.

To be real, it's likely Mare will be average to very good next year, be he here or elsewhere. I do not like him, but that is the likely reality.

[Russian Bear]

We could be playing for the playoffs if not for him.
