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.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
