It's been injuries honestly. 

Injured in 2018, his rookie year. Won the job in Chicago in 2019, then got injured again in 2020 and was placed on IR. 

Actually even more reason to not bring him in. The one position you can rarely ever afford an injury is a kicker. Almost everyone just carries one kicker and one punter. 

You just can't be an injury prone kicker.

this is just stupid bro thinking

kicking is almost entirely mental and no one has any idea how to evaluate kickers or coach them

Every other NFL team brings in competition for their kickers. Even if they are the best. You would think it’s the smart thing to do. Instead of coddling the kicker and letting him fester in his own mind.

Which is why I'd trade for one.

Teams head of us on the wire: 

1. Jacksonville - Josh Lambo

2. NYJ - Matt Ammendola

3. Houston - Kaʻimi Fairbairn

4. Atlanta - Younghoe Koo

5. Cinci - Evan McPherson,  Austin Seibert

6. Philadelphia - Jake Elliott

7. Detroit - Randy Bullock, Zane Gonzalez

 

I don't see Jacksonville, Houston, Atlanta, or Philly being a real threat to grab a kicker on the waiver wire. Detroit probably won't either. So really there's only NYJ and Cinci to worry about.

is there a different OP that actually says what you claim or are you talking out of your ass

(hint: you're talking out of your ass)

https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2021/08/05/colts-training-camp-blankenship-pineiro-waging-kicker-battle/5501756001/

“That’s only some of the major news that’s come from Colts camp during the first week. And buried beneath the headlines is something that could have a major effect on the Colts’ prospects in 2021: A kicker battle is being waged. 

As of a week ago, incumbent kicker Rodrigo Blankenship and free agent import Eddy Piniero began their duel to win a spot on the Colts’ Week 1 roster. 

“Rod had a great year last year, but iron sharpens iron and Eddy is talented,” general manager Chris Ballard said recently. “Eddy Pineiro is very talented, so that will be fun to watch.””

You were saying?

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By strato · Posted

      We’re in a pickle.. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ballvs most Ds and the WRs are healthy he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
