So we signed Kunalic, and Mare is on the hot seat.

We are out of the playoffs, and losing really wouldn't hurt anything but the team's pride now.

So, do we take a chance with this kid, let him kick for the rest of the year and let Mare ride the pine, or do we let Mare finish what he started this year?

I for one, am in favor of letting Kunalic get the nod from here on out. I mean it's not like Mare is earning his contract by making field goals, at least he wouldn't be hurting the team as he was eating up salary on the bench.

yup

[Cat'sGrowl]

Cut Mare.

I mean how stupid is it to carry two kickers, right Ron?

Show us you meant that and you didn't axe Kasay just to make a point.

[Pantherman]

Fresh Blood would be nice. So yes I would love to see how he kicks. :sifone:

[Marguide]

Absolutely.

Get rid of Mare and Baker. Spending $5 million a year on kickers is idiotic unless they are the best in the league.

[Panthro]

See how Mare does the rest of the year. Make desicion then

this is what adi looks like:



Don't know why this post is necessary, but I just wanted to make sure he didn't look like a goober...

It matters to me

[Humble Dew]

kun he lic mare?

[Swarly]

I don't know, man. What if he fugs up and loses a game for us?

[Dpantherman]

Kind of hard to make the decision without having seen him kick before.

Not only is this a great way to miss out on what we might have in Kunalic, it's a great way to keep that good ole fashioned "It is what it is" mentality in the locker room while simultaneously giving Mare another chance to blow a game for us.

I mean, who cares about Rivera following through with what he said he would do and holding players accountable for their actions, cutting a starter midseason is just a silly notion. And certainly nothing a credible head coach like John fox would do. Can't send the message that we are going to make players grow up or get out, need to make sure they are coddled and loved until the "time" is right.

Does it matter? Consider it a 3 game tryout.

We put up with Fua for 11 games to help us in future years, so why not do the same with Kunalic?

I'm not saying no. I simply said its hard to say having not seen him. Thats it.

Emotionally yes I say cut ut Mare, but I know it's not that simple and there are surely other considerations. I don't think letting Mare play out the season does us any good... I do think there is the possibility that this kid could get some game experience and we can see what he can do. There will be a lot of pressure on him to perform so it would be a good test.

So maybe keep Mare, deactivate him and let this kid kick and make a decision in the off season.
