LOL

Kasay has been on three teams, David Ackers has been on like five, Morten Andersen was on many, etc.

You're talking about guys that bounced around in their early career and then in their later career. When they were good, they were with a team for a long while. Mare is at the end of his career, that's why he's been bounced around. Which is why we should of just kept Kasay if we were going that route.

Mare has missed 1 kick.....a 50+ yarder.

K ain't the reason we are 1-3. Mare made a nice play preventing Hester from having 2 TDs on the day as well.

I like your posts CRA, and there is some merit to what you are saying, but the emboldened part literally made me LOL.

That shouldn't be a highlight of a K's day.

Keep Kasay it means less touchbacks.......and a wasted roster spot. You think with THIS defense we can afford to waste roster spots?

also, Kasay has missed his share of 50+ yarders......

Keep Kasay and you have more points on the board. Points > touchbacks. And with the new kickoff rule, Baker could be decent. Points will always be more important.

I agree......

BUT

They are all football players.......so I don't pretend when guys make football plays that they don't count. Like people saying Peppers was a nonfactor when he blocked a FG that would have given us a late lead. He is paid to play football NOT just rush the passer....which is way we always had him in to block kicks as well.

K is your last line of defense.....and Mare was called upon today. He made a play.

Yeah, but you are automatically giving Kasay 50 yarders.....which you can't do.

Baker can't boot them out of the endzone. Hester would have had a shot on every K today.....

Again, people are making this thread into what they want. I made a semi-sarcastic thread about paying Mare 3 mil a year to miss kicks... It got merged with another thread with a more serious title than my simple "Olindo Mare"... then it morphed into a "Mare missed a kick? errr, So did Kasay! Even!"

I've said multiple times my preference was to pick up a reliable kicker coming out of college. I appreciate what Kasay did while he was here, but honestly, I don't care what he's doing now. I wanted to replace him 5 years ago... Just not with a guy 3 years younger than him who can't even attempt 50 yarders without being embarrassed.

That would've been the better option. Get someone younger and better or just as equal. Not somone who is less of a kicker and about as old.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
