Gano to wear #4

[LiQuiD]

At this point the only way any numbers should be retired is if the franchise dissolves.

After they retire John Kasay's number they might as well follow that up with Wesley Walls, Mike Rucker, Mike Minter, Brad Hoover, Muhsin Muhammad, Jake Delhomme, and Jordan Gross. All just fantastic fellows.

I think Kasay is a future ring of honor inductee as much for the way he carried himself during his long tenure as a Panther as anything else... classy guy and a pretty good kicker.

If you were evaluating Mills simply by his on-field performance in a Panthers uniform you could ask why he's a ROH inductee and has a statue outside the stadium.

You can knock Kasay for kicking the ball out of bounds during the SB, but we wouldn't have been there in the first place if he hadn't nailed a few clutch kicks that season.

One good thing about Gano is that players usually get better after leaving Washington. I have not done any research to support this, just something I have noticed over the years. S.Davis comes to mind pretty quick, but others before him support my theory...

By all means, prove me wrong....

ring of honor would be fine and appropriate. beyond that....meh....

Can we get brett farve to kick instead?

[CatMan72]

If nothing else this is a bad PR move... you've already got a pretty disgruntled fan base and now you're gonna slap a #4 jersey on a sub-par kickers back.

i honestly don't think that more than 80% of the fanbase even remember what kasay's number was. only the most rabid of fans would care at all.

this is nothing more than a blip that will be forgotten by all but a handful of fans by the offseason and most of them won't even care.

he was good enough to keep his job for 20 years or whatever. as he got older he was less accurate and more of a liability and the main reason he was kept around wasn't because he was so good...it was because he was so liked.

we should have replaced him before we did. we just picked the wrong guys to replace him with.

First 5 seasons: 78.8%, 82.2%, 84.6%, 73.1%, 88%

Last 5 seasons: 88.9%, 85.7%, 90.3%, 81.5%, 86.2%

How is that getting less accurate?

[rayzor]

lol i don't even care. you know why? because he's a KICKER.

i'm only taking part in this thread because it's always funny to see just how revered a kicker is around here.

He's more than a kicker, rayzor. He was an original Panther, he was part of the community and the city. Sam Mills, on the other hand, was only a Panthers player for three seasons. Yet he got a statue. Cancer is a bitch, but that man is a Saint. Kasay is a Panther.

[chef17]

It's always funny to see people make up stuff when they are wrong. "Hey guys Kasay got less accurate, he needed to go." Facts prove that wrong. "Oh well guys I don't even care. I'm just in the thread to make up stuff" What kind of retarded ass logic is that.

[La Pantera]

yes lets be real - the Redskins know more about football than any team out there.

Lol...yes, yes they do.

[La Pantera]

If Kasay doesnt mind, neither should we.
