Olindo Mare: What Should the Panthers Do With the Struggling Kicker?

Found December 17, 2011 on Cat Crave:
PLAYERS: Olindo Mare,  John Kasay
TEAMS: Carolina Panthers,  New Orleans Saints

C8
Olindo Mare is not a popular man in the Carolinas. The struggling kicker missed a 31-yard field goal that would have given the Panthers a 26-24 lead late in the game against Atlanta, and also missed a kick against Minnesota earlier in the season that would have sent the game to overtime. Now, fans are calling for him to be cut. The only problem with that is he signed a four-year, $12 million contract this past offseason. At the time the signing was questioned as Carolina already had veteran kicker John Kasay. While Kasay hasn’t exactly been perfect in New Orleans, the feeling is that he would have made the two kicks that Mare missed. Nevertheless, Mare and his bloated contract are on the roster at this moment, but should the Panthers admit their mistake and move on? … [visit site to read more] Olindo Mare: What Should the Panthers Do With the Struggling Kicker? - Cat Crave - Cat Crave - A Carolina Panthers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

Steve Smith rips Tim Tebow

If Jordan Gross doesn’t play…

Via Cat Crave  |  December 17, 2011
With Jordan Gross listed as questionable due to an ankle injury, the cynical worst-case thoughts are spinning inside of me. What if our best offensive lineman isn’t good to go on Sunday against a formidable foe? Gross, is a tough guy and will most likely play, but the impact that the team- mainly Cam Newton- will feel if he does not play Sunday will be huge. If Gross doesn...

Steve Smith: Tebow does not compare to Newton

Via Inside The Panthers  |  December 15, 2011
Count Panthers receiver Steve Smith among those who aren't fawning over Denver quarterback Tim Tebow. While acknowledging Tebow's run of fourth-quarter comebacks, Smith said he'd still take Panthers rookie Cam Newton over Tebow any day. “You can't compare Cam to Tebow. I think Cam's a more complete player,” Smith said. “Tebow has the wins. But everybody...

DeAngelo Williams is tired of getting tackled by his dreadlocks

Via Pro Football Talk  |  December 16, 2011
DeAngelo Williams is having a relatively quiet year for the Panthers. His yardage might be a little bit better if he didn’t keep getting tackled from behind when a defender grabs his dreadlocks. It’s happened at least twice, including last week against Atlanta. Williams learned that it can be legal. “I actually learned something about…
