Lol. Can't wait until next year's article when he has us picking a kicker in the top ten.

 

Side note.. Newton is probably a troll on here

Kickers are the highest scorers on most every team and they win more walkoff games than QBs do---it is strange that they are not more valued if you think about it.  Some say, "Yeah but they only play 10-12 plays a game."  If that is the argument, then we should not value closers in baseball.

So you would take one in the top ten?

If Allen or Grier  had Jimmy Gs season the huddle would be naming a street after him

 

I agree some would. If we had the play calling and defense the 49ers have I (and other hurdlers the wiser) would rather name streets after that.

Over time there isn't a huge spread in kicker success. Adam Vinitieri is an 84% kicker and will go to the HoF. Graham Gano is/was an 82% kicker. That is one FG a year. Gano wasn't drafted. 80% kickers are a dime a dozen.

Plus they do one thing. The don't have to read offenses, rarely tackle.

Kind of the same reason we don't draft long snappers.

I think his life is so dull that he says this stuff to have someone to talk to on Twitter.

 

For real though. Outside of back up QBs, when was the last time a QB “developed” into a starter?

For us. Delhomme. You could make an argument for Aaron Rodgers, and Jimmy G. Mahomes sat behind Alex Smith for a year.

I think it's mostly that it's very hard to distinguish quality amongst them. Among kickers good enough to play in the NFL, plus the next couple dozen guys ALMOST good enough, statistical performance is remarkably random. 

It's an elite specialized skill, but among the (say) hundred or so guys in the world good enough to do it, it's damn near impossible to say who's better. And if someone's better this year, they won't be next year. So why race to get one guy over another guy by drafting higher?

This guy is a moron. How does he have a job? How low is the bar at ESPN. 

Serious question to opposing fans, is your beat writer retarded too?
