[L-TownCat]

I <3 Kasay

 

Miss you!!!

[TheRumGone]

sometimes you don't know how good you have it till it's gone.

 

Thanks for everything Kasay.

One of my favorites all time. He makes my top 5 because of the type of stand up christian he is too. I didn't think he got the credit he was due as a field goal specialist. He was money under 45 yards guaranteed.

He gave us tons of memorable wins!!! People like to bring up the Superbowl and blame Kasey but under the John Fox football model Kasey was one of the reasons we made it that far.

Great gesture and fully deserved. 

[GRWatcher]

He was the rock for many players.  He's a wonderful person and so deserved of retiring in style.  Thanks, John Kasay, for all the memories.  As Eisen likes to say, "Kickers are people too."

 

 

 

Edit:  His retirement speech was short and sweet.  Class all the way.  "I can't write 70,000 thank you notes" lol

[P-paw]

Love you John!

[carolina-chuck]

An all time great

[CarolinaNCSU]

I love you, John Kasay

I can't put it top 3. Let's see, in no particular order...

Armanti Edwards

Everette Brown

Jimmy Clausen

Eric Shelton

DeAngelo Williams contract

Jon Beason contract

Fua/McClain

Dwayne Jarrett

I'll give him a pass on Keary Colbert and Otah as both guys proved early on that they had the talent to be starters in the NFL if they had the want to.

The rest of the NFL saved Hurney from his ultimate fail. Word is that he was trying like hell to trade our next year's 1st rounder to trade up to take Clausen. Just think about it... he tried to trade what would end up being the #1 overall pick for Jimmy fugin Clausen. Just think about the situation we'd be in right now if that would've happened. Absolutely hopeless.

I would take Beasons contract off the list and put Jakes extension on. At the time of Beasons contract he was healthy and the second best ilb in the nfl, no way to know he would get seriously injured.

I agree with Jake's extension.  However, Beason wasn't healthy when he signed that contract.  His ankle was already jacked.

John Kasay was one of the greatest kickers/Panthers of all time and he will be in the ring of honor for sure.

 

I bet he could still kick better than anyone we have on the roster.

 

Thanks for everything John

i think he played with the Seahawks before coming to Carolina, it is a business never forget that

I know he did but once you go Saint, you can never detaint :(.
