Oh lord, why would anyone miss Slye? Yeah, being able to lineup for a 60 harder is nice but not at the expense of 35 yards and XPs being nail biting affairs. If I had to choose between a big legged kicker with spotty accuracy or an accurate kicker with a limited leg I'm absolutely choosing the latter. At the end of the day, missing a long FG is basically the equivalent of a turnover. You're handing your opponent great field position.

Yea give me the guy that can get 3 basically 100% of the time when a legit drive stalls out.Ā  I don't understand the moon shot kicker fixation.

Yeah, range only matters with consistency. It only takes a few wide rights on gimmies to make you long for the guy who is near automatic from inside 50 but that's about the end of his range.

If you can hit from 60 and you're automatic, congrats you are a HOF kicker unless you become Justin Tugger.

Looking at Wright's stats I'm kinda surprised why this guy has never stuck. He's an 87% FG kicker and he's 7/11 from 50+ with a 56 and two 59 yards.

This guy beating out Fitzgerald doesn't seem like the end of the world.

Long range ability is already an upgrade over Pinero. But he's been on 6 teams in 5 years. I don't expect he's going to suddenly lock down the position for us for several years. Probably another situation like all our kickers the last few years. Brief high then back down to Earth.

It's all about hope man.Ā  He gives you a chance at a lot of distances, and you always hope you can figure it all out and be automatic from anywhere.

I am also a ginger and support my people.

If he's our kicker, in Madden, the accuracy is up to me.Ā  I can't control leg power.

My reasons may be silly, but you asked.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell. Ā Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward wouldā€™ve went had he went in ā€˜24 is just stupid. Ā Iā€™m no GM, but I wouldnā€™t have taken Williams #1 either. Ā I wouldā€™ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went. Ā I think Shadeur shouldā€™ve been a first round pick this year. Ā Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one. Ā Itā€™s my opinion that Ward has that ā€œsomething special.ā€ Ā I get that feeling that heā€™ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is. Ā I think heā€™s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon. Ā Iā€™m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL. Ā Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him. Ā He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad. Ā I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league. Ā  Ā  Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference. Ā Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didnā€™t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense. Ā This was such a breath of fresh air. Ā And look at us! Ā We finally are champions!šŸ˜‚
