I liked Eddy but his lack of NFL leg power makes me wanna move on. Dude just didn't have enough power for anything much past 50 yards and I'd rather have a guy with that ability. He was super accurate when he wasn't hurt but I'm still upset about the DJ helmet game vs Atlanta 2 years ago. 

Also I'm not a fan of how he held out of OTA's because he wanted a new contract and thought he should've been one of the highest paid kickers in the league. He's gonna get a rude awaking once the offers from other teams come in.

Eddie can't hit anything over 50, I'm good finding someone else. Kickers are replaceable.

Last year he was 5-7 from 50 plus yards with a long of 56.  He had a off year this year.  That being said, if we move on, so be it.

Honestly, I'd like to see Eddie come back, he's been more than reliable for us. They all miss kicks now and then and he's been better than most. However, there's probably a top end to pay for a kicker when you're rebuilding a team, so he could quickly get out of our price range.

If he goes elsewhere, good luck to him, he did right by us. And some other guy is going to get a shot at one of only 32 spots to do that job there are in the world. Good luck to that guy, too.

Edit to add: Wouldn't be the same without JJJ around here. Glad he will stay on, there's going to be a lot of new faces on special teams, we need that veteran presence.

Good thing we have a 7th round pick. 😉

The Huddle is very bad at analyzing kickers. They demanded Graham Gano be cut for years despite being a very good kicker for us, and among the most accurate in 2017 and 2018. Well, we cut him and the replacement, Joey Slye, is aggressively awful - consistently the worst full-time kicker in the league. Takes us years to find Piniero, who still isn't actually as good as Gano (who had three very, very good seasons with the Giants after we let him). 

Basically, in the time that has been since we let Gano go, we still haven't found a kicker as good as him (Piniero is far worse beyond 50 than average, and 50+ kicks were an area Gano was good at), and Gano is somehow still in the league.

Finding good kickers is not easy.

I'm still not over we had Harrison Butker on the roster...

Well we had some All Pro we found named Harrison but let him go after drafting him….in the same year….before the preseason ended.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
