I don’t know who was on waiver wires/FA/trade earlier this year so forgive me for that, I don’t follow football that closely. But I’m sure there is someone who could have competed for the kicker spot and given Slye the competition he desperately needs. 

I do, and there wasn't.

The other guys who were available wouldn't have been any better than the guys we did bring in.

If they want a higher quality kicker, they're either going to have to hope for a surprise cut or part with a draft pick (the latter being more likely).

By the way Scott Fitterer says he’s confident in Slye. Just wow!

You do realise how this works, right?

What's he meant to say? "Jesus, Joey Slye is dogshit. He's only here until we can get rid of him".

That's not how you build a team. We'll be scouring the NFL for a replacement - we just won't actively tell the media that we're doing so.

Then what the hell are you posting scores of negative opinions for?

Maybe if you followed it more closely, (or just shut up about it), you;d get more respect.

I’m not going to follow every player and every waiver wire event. Especially with this iteration of this team. But the fact still remains. There were plenty of kickers on the wire during FA that we could have picked up for a camp job. I mean, and I like Slye, but really? The dude shanks everything. You can’t win a superb owl with that. Give him a little competition, some kind of metric if you want to put it in analytic terms. Or else we will literally be sitting where we were in 2019, with him shanking everything.

Hell yes he should say that, he don’t like it bye!

Why the *** would we need a new kicker??? Slye was really good last season. Cause he had a bad preseason game lol.

Slye had 7 missed FG last season

2 were blocked

2 were from 65 and 67 yards away, impossible kicks nobody has ever made

1 vs KC was a 51 yard kick on a windy day day, Butker missed a fg on that same day.

 

The other two were legit misses.

 

Zero context in this thread

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
