Athletic skill is most of it but good behavior sportsmanship and integrity are in the mix.<br /><br />Any who balk at a statue for Kasay is ignorant with superficial knowledge of the game and sports in general or how it is supposed to be played physically intellectually with good sportsmanship and professional demeanor. <br /><br />Kasay conducted himself on and off the field with nothing but integrity and respected others equally. He deserves nothing but the best to honor his legacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-71881558336456694882011-08-08T08:58:40.854-04:002011-08-08T08:58:40.854-04:00To be in the "Ring of Honor" = a statue ...To be in the "Ring of Honor" = a statue for those who don't understand why we want to see the statue.<br /><br />Kasay contribute as much, if not more than McCormick did, and he has a statue. Sam Mills and John Kasay class acts as human beings and football players. They led on and off the field. Kasay was the Special Teams Captain. Fellow players confided in him when they had "issues" to talk over. He was their teammate, their friend, their confidant. Kasay's numbers will be records for the team for probably decades to come, if not permanent until rules gets changed.<br /><br />For everyone that points out the poor kickoff that preceded the Patriots game winning score, without replaying the game no one knows if they wouldn't have scored from their own 1 - they were driving almost at will on the D by that point. It was a great Super Bowl. And I agree with MR Anonymous (August 6, 2011 8:20 PM) - that Field Goal fest against Tampa that year - Epic as far as games decided by PLACE KICKERS - AKA Soccer players. TD's core the most points, but this is a TEAM game. Kasay was not the only player on the roster - and he reminded the media of that fact EVERY time he scored a game winning field goal (I would LOVE to see how many of those there were) - and yet, every time a kick sailed wide/short - and most especially that last kickoff of the Super Bowl - he hefted all of the blame upon himself - never once blaming and even sharing the blame with another player.<br /><br />A Place Kicker is essential to ANY American football team. And Kasay was an ESSENTIAL member of the Carolina Panthers for the longest. He deserves a place in the "Ring of Honor" - and i for one, would love to see John Kasay's number be the first number retired for this team. (Officially Sam Mills' number has never been retired, but we have a class act for an equipment manager, and out of respect for Sam's memory he has refused to reissue it.)samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321283615472742550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-71243136620900810742011-08-06T20:20:37.592-04:002011-08-06T20:20:37.592-04:00Anyone that objects to a statue and retiring numbe...Anyone that objects to a statue and retiring number 4 doesn't care about this team. Seriously, as so many have posted before, they don't get any more classy, professional, and humble than John Kasey. For the people that are STILL hung up on that kickoff in the SB, you didn't watch every game that year like I did (and still do), or you have a really bad memory. We wouldn't have been in the SB if it wasn't for Kasey. Remember the field goal contest in Tampa that year?? I do..<br /><br />I would love to see a statue, but they better retire his number! <br /><br />"just a kicker" shut up..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-81835077033995916082011-08-06T15:19:29.464-04:002011-08-06T15:19:29.464-04:00I missed a chance to send Scott an email for this ...I missed a chance to send Scott an email for this column, but I appreciate that he wrote it and I just want to join in to say THANK YOU JOHN KASAY!

Gee how quickly they forget. Kasay kicked a few FGs in the Bowl so one miss with missed blocks and a rushed kick is not bad at all.<br /><br />Kasay shouldnt get a statue. He deserves a 50 foot high MONUMENT 5 times bigger than the any of the other ones who played what a year or two?

He was to many fans, as well as players the heart behind the team. He was a leader and captain of the team for many years. Now it seems to me that a player such as that deserves a statue, if not for the statistics (which are substantial) then for what he means to this team and the people that support said team. As someone who started watching this team when i was 5 when it all began, Kasay was not just a football player, he was a role model and as someone who met him a long time ago, a great human being. The Panthers are an organization that built itself around these type of people, including greats like Sam Mills. To the few people that read this comment, take a second and really think about it, is there any better way to honor the last original and greatest panther?<br /><br />-Casey Pressley<br />And for those who really wish to say something positive or negative email me.<br />caseypressley@live.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-75866491848517313132011-08-05T22:03:27.000-04:002011-08-05T22:03:27.000-04:00Whoever said to take down Sam mills statue needs t...Whoever said to take down Sam mills statue needs to watch his mouth.... he was a great player, person, ance inspiration to all.

That said let's keep it real as far as honoring him. A name on the ring for sure, a statue? I don't think he was that extraordinary as a player. <br /><br />With Fox's timid offense he was critical as they often would settle for FG's, but there were other kickers in the league that could have done as well for us.<br />He was good but not hall of fame.<br /><br />Smith will probably be the next statue if we can get Richardson to pay for one again.Sportsdonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-47446832956499806372011-08-05T10:34:25.575-04:002011-08-05T10:34:25.575-04:00Not mentioned is Kasay is #1 in all CP biggest cat...Not mentioned is Kasay is #1 in all CP biggest catagories.
