Titans sign Stephen Gostkowski

I hate when people act like they know more about professional football than they actually know.

 

I think more to the point is this dude is PAID to kick. Regardless of the difficulty level, if you can’t kick, you don’t have a job. No?

 

Sure. The problem comes when you apply that same logic to all positions.what do you do if a lineman allows a sack? Or a DE allows a run to the outside?

 

If they allow them at a rate of 75% (same percent missed FG) they lose their job albeit probably not after 1 game.

 

Unless you’re Nate Davis

 

Well for now Steve is the kicker but messes up, it will be loking like moving on after week 2!

 

I took your advice, Mrs. Gostkowski, and went around the league to see this mighty struggle you reference:

XP by kickers not named SG: 81/85. 95%

SG: 50%

FG by kickers not named SG: 50/66. 76%

SG: 25%

FG 40-49yds by kickers not named SG: 15/19 79%

SG: 0%

what’s amazing that you point out- all other kickers available are terrible or washed up. it just happens that there are only 31 good kickers.


But I do admire your backing him, and I AM in favor of anither game hoping he turns it around.

 

I play college football as a kicker.

What I'm trying to say in my post is more about how our coach handles kicking this has been going on since last year.

He just doesn't practice it is that simple.

 

you “play college football as a kicker...”?

what a coincidence! I play college football as a quarterback. and Jessica above plays college football as a middle linebacker.

 

He legit played, he proved it before you joined
