This is a bit of a surprise honestly. Sure we save money, but it's not like Anger is a bad Punter, in fact he's pretty good. And we don't exactly need the cap space atm so I don't see much point in replacing Anger this year.

.....this free agency is full of surprises.  :teehee:

Was this something we really needed to do?

or to just finally close the door on the gene smiff era?

Anyway.....later's anger, good luck where ever you go.

Well, I wasn't trying to make it seem like I was taking it personal. It's just so odd why we as a collective still complain about who we drafted or didn't draft


And speaking of things we can't control, that's my point. We didn't control that situation 4 years ago? We certainly can't now. It's over is all I'm saying


I know SOMEONE understands what I'm saying. I just have to believe that

Is there any reason to think this guy is an upgrade over Anger?

Just put a "D" in front of his name and you will be known as "Danger".

 

Or maybe an "R" and you could be "Ranger".

 

Just don't put a "W" in front.

He's more of a directional punter and doesn't constantly outkick his coverage like Anger does.

 

According to Panthers fans his game is the coffin corner.

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Quote:Small rant, not really directed at you. Just in general.

I keep hearing "we drafted a punter over Russell Wilson"

Gene Smith is gone. 74 times Russell Wilson was passed up in the 2012 Draft. We drafted a QB 10th overall the year before. We have Bortles now. And now Anger is gone. It was a wasted draft, but it's over now. We all know the facts. No one involved is a Jaguar now. Now we have one of the best offenses in the league, 70 mill to spend (if we can) in FA, Fowler Jr. and top 5 pick coming in.


It's over. And I'm happier about the place we are in now

He was drafted after Russell Wilson, so that's a start.

You realize how many things factor into that beyond how good the punter is?

Looks like Nortman was golden in 2013, but hasn't matched match those hang times or punt distance in air since. Last year he was also not statistically different from Anger.  So basically, we get another version of Anger who could return to form of near best in the league.

Actually a big upgrade. better net put directional punter doesn't out kick coverage and has awesome hang time on punt to give cover guys more time. Lets just draft the Utah punter in round 2 Now! dual weapon punters
