The Browns Have Chosen Their Rookie Kicker Zane Gonzalez Over The Vet Cody Parkey

Seriously. I never got the "but do you really want to put in a rookie kicker" when literally our "veteran" kicker gives us heart attacks each week when he kicks.

I mean would you rather have the sure bust that's more expensive, or would you rather start with a guy who likely isn't any worse and has potential to get better for cheap?

It should be a no brainer, but Ron gonna Ron.

He is better than Gano.

He has missed only 10 FG's in his 3 years in the league (55/65)

Gano missed 8 FG's last year alone and has missed 20 in the last 3 years (89/109)

The only statistic I paid attention to was that he has been on 3 diff teams in 3 years... that is not a good sign.. does he suck at game winning FGs or something??

Parkey misses more from 40-49 yards than Gano does, 60% for his  career while Gano is nearly 80%.  Ironically, Parkey is 5-5 from 50 plus.  And Parkey is a little bit better at the shorter ones, but he has a very small sample size.  Parkey appears to be at best, a lateral move.

Parkey was a Pro Bowler, All-Rookie, and set a record for rookie scoring in 2014.  In 2015 he severely injured his groin and the Eagles replaced him and he's been fighting for a job ever since.

Oh, and he was also on the 2010 Auburn BCS Championship team with Cam (though he wasn't the starting kicker, I think he was a redshirt freshman or something).

KK Short is a lateral move at this point.  This guy and any others that have kicked at the high school and above levels are an upgrade to the tangible and intangible value of this football team than GG right now.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
