Panthers Release Jason Baker

[Ivan The Awesome]

Same principle as the "tallest midget in the room" theory... I try really hard to generally forget that the 2010 season ever even happened. Or at least that I ever suffered every game.

The Browns game. The Seahawks game. Both Saints games. Grrrragggggh.

Yeah. But remember it's because of that season that we have Cam now. :cam:

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.

Yeah, I doubt it's their intention, I was just pointing out the possibility. When he was signed everyone assumed he was competition for Mare, but it looks like he intended to be Bakers replacement instead.

Baker statistically and through many fans eyes would have looked a lot better last year......if those multiple game changing punts returned for TDs were stopped for little return as they should of been.

I got no problem w/ them replacing a P. None. But until we get some special teams talent to cover kicks it really doesn't matter who punts.

[X-Clown]

Good, we wore his leg out in 2010.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Maybe we can start signing a couple players now

[HeatCheck]

It seemed like he punted the ball better at the end of the year. But as a whole, he wasn't too good at all.

bout time, thought they would had cut him last year

cfl stat page for Justin Medlock

41.9 avg for 240 punts from 2009-2011

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

that's what i was thinking.

we might have already signed his replacement.

we have on the roster a guy who would be an upgrade over both. now we can pick the best kicker or punter available to combine with medlock.

STs should be MUCH better this coming year.

that's why we're looking at guys like onatolu and gregory.

He's. Sucked. For. Years.

And years. And years.

he spent too much time with that ball in his hands.

[Kramerica]

Uh oh...Clausen takes 7, Cam takes 2?! Zomg.

Seriously tough, this is great.

i'm just waiting for that moment that clausen tweets "YES TWEET PEEPS! i'm getting #7 back! W00T!" and then walks to his locker and sees his pink slip.

Finally, the HURNEY MAGIC!

but, but can we afford a quality punter.Lets get a guy off a high school football team and pay him by the hour and hope we have the cap to cover.
