I had no idea it was so long ago. That being said, the Ravens let him go for "football reasons," but he's still on ice for 10 games. I believe that if he didn't suck so bad last season, they'd have kept him, but between missing on the field (73 percent success), missing for 10 games the coming season, and him being 35 years old, he's probably just not worth the trouble.

The 14 years old language. That's the part I didn't understand.

Like ain't fair. Elite QBs in their prime have a very long leash. Aging kickers who are falling off hard don't. No one expected Watson to have a sip of that Cleveland water and turn to trash and then have his Achilles turn into a rubber band but I don't think anyone is exactly sad to see it either.

Rizz isn't 14 year old language. The fact you say that makes me question your character a bit. How Gruden of you...

In hindsight obviously we should not have traded Butker and it was a glaring boneheaded move but there's also the reality that we haven't done a damn thing competively the last 7 years anyways so 🤷‍♂️

You now remember gano missing a 30 yard FG in our playoff game vs NO. Butker would have NEVER! But yeah after his rookie season we have been full gutter mode. Could have made the difference in 2017 though 😞

Even if he didn’t have the extra baggage he was 32nd in FG% in 2024 and 16th (only 2 spots ahead of Eddie P) in 2023. End this thread.

TBH, I don’t recall many kickers known for their accuracy just falling off a cliff.  I remember guys like Morten Andersen kicking well up to 40.  I have to think Tucker’s likely was knowing all his chickens from his dirtbag activities were coming home to roost, and I imagine that definitely changed his performance on-field.  
 

And for the record, I don’t say this as an endorsement to sign him or for him period.  He’s a creep.  I’m simply wondering out loud how someone could have fallen off so quickly.

 

i think Matthew Wright is an excellent kicker in his own right, but my opinion, considering our history with Butker, is no matter his struggles now, stick with Fitz and see what happens in a year or so.  Give him a chance.  My stance with Butker and Gano was to keep Butker.  Hopefully the FO will start listening to me lol.

Just look at his stats. Over the past 3 seasons he has become worse than Eddie P at 50 +. Last season those issues started showing up at 49-49 yards

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
