thebandit27 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Why did Miami cut Dan Carpenter? I think he went through a rough patch that lead to them drafting Caleb Sturgis (same year we drafted Dustin Hopkins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Why did Miami cut Dan Carpenter? He was in an extended slump where he missed FGs well within his range that cost them games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 He was very expensive (2.7 million/yr) when they drafted a rookie who was at about the same level for a third of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 He had ended up on injured reserve the year before and was competing in camp with Sturgis - they went with the cheaper option. Looks like the Cardinals and Jets cut him too before the Bills snatched him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) According to his 2012 game log he was perfect from 10/14 on... http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CarpDa44/gamelog/2012/ yea but the 3 weeks prior he missed 4 kicks, 2 of those games being 3 point losses, and the other just a 1 score win. fair or not, thats a hard one for a kicker to come back from sometimes.

nucci Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Why did Miami cut Dan Carpenter? I don't think he had that good of a year in Miami. I wasn't excited when we signed but he has been great. I remember he had some big misses in Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Frankly, I was surprised we signed him in the first place. But hey! New beginnings. Glad we have him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 He missed some kicks and was expensive against the cap. Sturgis is pretty good too so not like they had a huge drop off. Their loss was our gain. I notice Hopkins has surfaced at New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Guy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They don't like mullets in Miami (aka Little Cuba Rico) Also Carpenter looks like the villian in a lot of movies. They can't have that, not after naming their team after a friendly, cute aquatic mammal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Didn't he miss like 4 field goals against the Bills one year? He hasn't always been Mr. Clutch. http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/23509/a-look-at-dan-carpenters-day-to-forget Edited August 25, 2015 by Idandria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
