Cut Jason Myers

#21

The problem is, every FA kicker is just as bad. Ficken spanked a PAT himself. Are there any teams holding onto 2 kickers where one might be released?

NO is going to cut either Barth or Forbath. We could snag the loser of that competition

There's actually a bunch of kickers that are about to be cut that are actually decent.

Decent meaning almost perfect at PAT scoring and FG attempts under 50 yards? We need a guy like that.

Dave is probably waiting for the cuts to begin. Not worried. He's no idiot.

He is definitely not stupid, but I would have kept Ficken a few more days.

Myers will cost this team atleast 2 wins this year, that's a given.


We have to check out the scrap heap. Bring anybody in. Myers is aweful.

Dave is so smart that he knows that the games Myers will lose will cost Gus his job and allow us to get a real coach

No way are we going to lose enough games to fire Gus Bradley just because of the kicker's right leg.

I was hoping he'd sort out his extra point issues, because he was looking fairly good at FGs last season.


And I think we're being a bit harsh if we expect at kicker to nail every 57 yarder.


But the one from 49 yards was one you'd want him to make.

Ok, going to try to look at this objectively.  A kicker has three jobs, kickoffs, field goals and extra points.  Here's his stats from last year.

 

Field Goals 26/30 86.7% (14th in the league, longest was 58 yards, tied for 3rd)
 
Extra Points 32/39 82.1% (32nd in the league)
 
TBs   65.5% (8th in the league)
 
What this tells me is that he was a slightly above average field goal kicker with a terrible penchant for missing extra points.  Interestingly, his FG percentage at home was 93.3%.  Not sure what his average distance on field goal attempts were but you'd have to figure it's longer than PATs so maybe the extra points issue is mental and can be overcome.  This might be what Caldwell/Bradley are thinking.  
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.
