Panthers Release Jason Baker

[CRA]

classic fans... can't remember poo if it was stuck on your upper lip...

problem was Baker didn't get the hang time that was expected.. had nothing to do with kicking it to Hester...

Hester should of been stopped for a 10 yard gain at BEST. Literally had 2 Panthers sandwich him in at the same time both on top of him and whiffed. Just like AZ...punt coverage was beyond pathetic.

They had Baker not just kick that one unique but asked him to kick shorter bc coverage was so weak in general.

Baker wasn't bad....he got expensive. Of you go back and watch the costly returns....you can't be mad at Baker. His coverage unit was in position to make fairly easy stops.

30th in average and 37th in net average with 3 Touchdown returns during 2011.

Baker was bad, but poor Panther Special Teams play magnified the problem.

Baker had a few good years but here's hoping the 2012 Panthers get the Punter and Special Teams coverage problems fixed. :cheers2:

While I believe that Baker was a good punter up until last year its time to move on but the question is do we go free agency or draft?

Thanks Baker for the memories, I do believe that you made a couple of TD saving tackles.

yes he did. I remember his first or second year, he jacked somebody up good on the sideline. And everyone remembers when he got Leon Washington by the bottom of the foot.

Baker was a decent punter pretty much at the exact same time Ken Lucas was a good CB for us.

Swirl that around in your mouth a little.

Who needs a punter anyway :D

I'd rather they cut Mare than Baker.

Good Move IMO. We will get another punter who can deliver. Bye Jason and thanks for your services...

you could of taken the statitcally best P in the league last year and put him in Carolina....and he would have been one of the worst.

From a talent perspective...Kasay/Baker is much better than Mare/Canadian dude. P doesn't really matter as much as K though.

I'm not sure that Baker is better than the "Canadian Dude". He was a stud in college and has done pretty damn well in Canada. It's too bad that the team that drafted him had a knee jerk reaction and cut him after one game.

is that like a white cornerback?
