Robert Aguayo might be a bust before he even plays an NFL game.

When it's "officially a thing." It's a thing. 

The mental aspect of the game may just be paramount to a kicker, and Agauyo can't seem to get out of his own head.  Sorry, but I can't help but snicker. That's why you never draft a kicker before day three, if at all.

That's why I made the topic.  This poo is crazy.

I remember that Janikowski had a awful rookie season with something like a 62% FG completion rate.... he turned out to be a good player for the Raiders for nearly 2 decades now. Give the kid a breather

69 percent, plus the Raiders picked him in the first round.  They weren't letting him go.

as long as he sucks for the bucs he can go whereever he wants and succeed for a decade or two after that

There are better kickers who have come out of college since Janikowski (and it doesn't matter how accurate he was in college). What in the world?

Furthermore, it's not really about labeling him anything at this point. If you can't find the humor in our division foe drafting a kicker in round 2 who is not only missing kicks in preseason games, but practice, then I guess you're just a stick in the mud.  Me, I find it amusing.

The very fact that you have had better kickers than Janikowski just buttresses my position, that you shouldn't draft a kicker until day three (if at all).

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
