Panthers Release Jason Baker

Thank you baby Jesus!

[Pantherman]

Wait wait wait!! We can rejoice even more when the panthers release Mare. If they release Mare then I will be even more happy for our STs. :cornut:

[PanthersAlv]

And the huddle rejoiced.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... :|

hahaha :cool:

Drew Butler or the kid from Wisconsin, Brad Nortman was booming them at the senior bowl. Panthers said they were really impressed with him. The California punter, Bryan Anger is the highest rated Punter in this draft.. but it would take a 5-6th round pick to get him.

2nd piece of good news today.

Agree with others that doing the same with Mare would give us a good start on the offseason. I just don't trust him to make the big kick when needed.

[Floppin]

Remember the kicker that we just signed is also a pretty decent punter. He may be Bakers replacement, or you could see Mare released as well, deciding that we will let him do both duties.

I have an idea.

since we won't be punting but maybe once per game, get rid of Mare, sign Kasay back and let him do his "pooch" punt routine. hey, no need paying big money for a punter when he never gets any work.

[Proudiddy]

I really hope we get rid of Mare as well. Baker was horrible, but Mare was even worse. We just put up with it from Baker for longer.

Just saying Hurney doesn't have to be in a hurry to find a replacement for Baker.

Once again, we already signed a Kicker/Punter combo guy to a three year contract.

[Delhommey]

Only took 7 years!

Hallelujah!

[Mr. Scot]

Wharton gone. Baker gone. more signs that John Fox has left the building..

Yep.

Baker was good for us for a long time so I'm kind of sorry to see him go. Given the circumstances of the past few years though, I understand the move.

Sorry flop, missed your previous post. I would like to say that kicker/punter combos seldom work out well. See Atl's previous kicker now employed by the Bucs.
