Sticking with Piniero was the right choice

This dumbass org will probably stick with pineiro over Gonzalez next season and it will bite us in the ass.

I’m actually okay with keeping Piniero over Gonzalez. The latter has finished the last couple of seasons on IR which makes me question his durability going forward. We need consistency in our kicking game.

A kicker can be clutch but lose games by missing kicks in none clutch situations. 
 

Eddy P is converting over 90% and I’m grateful to have him. He’s contributed to wins, but hasn’t had a sexy game winning walk off kick, and when he had the chance he blew it (twice).

He had a bad game, but the total body of work is great as a whole.

And the injuries just happened randomly in warmups.  Availability is an important factor.

If this board did not over-react to a single game's events (good or bad), it would have about ten new threads a week.

I appreciate @TN05 for owning up to it.  Most others just act like they didn't say it or double down and then act like they never said any of it.  I guess they figure if it works for Reps, Senators, and Presidents, it should work for them.

Fans overrate.  It's what we do.  It's why half of this board wants Darnold running the offense next year and the other half wants him out of the league.  The correct answer is usually some where in the middle.

Wilks is not just sticking with guys because there are there, or because they are vets.  Sticking with Piniero looks like a good decision.  Dumping Anderson...also a good decision.  He did not hesitate to cut coaches as well.  Many have called him a Rivera-Foxy clone, but I am seeing something different.

Like most everyone else here, I was calling for Eddy Piniero’s head after the Atlanta game - but sticking with him has been the right choice.

Piniero is now 2nd in the league in both field goals made (31) and field goal accuracy (93.9%) and 7th in field goals attempted (33). Since the Atlanta game, he’s 17/17 in field goals and has made three field goals in each of the the last four games.

Making a kneejerk move based off of a single bad game would have likely led to a downgrade in kicker quality.

Truth is Im still hot about that one game, but you are right and wilks was right too. Eddie has shown he belongs, fuging hate that one game went down.

Im not a future fan HC wise *but* what hes done is super impressive given this was a staff picked by Matt Rhule.

Traded teams best player CMC

Fired DC Snow and ST asst

Traded Starting #2 WR anderson

Lost starting C Elf

Lost #2 CB Djack

PJ gets hurt, lots of QB roster moves

Baker is back

Baker is Cut

Darnold is back

Horn is injuried

 

Allllllllllllllllllllllllllll that and Im missing some issues, wilks has gone 5-5. Very impressive.

Stats on low pressure situations means nothing

He had 2 shots to make short field goals and missed them both, 1 would be understandable, but 2 in less than 15 minutes , are we sure he didn't have money on the Falcins

If I was the coach, he would have been cut before he came off the field in Atlanta 

I will bump this thread when he costs us the playoffs by the way

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
