[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 317009, member: 1198"] First off, I'm not his agent and I'm not related to him. I'm REASONABLE. Are you telling me he should be cut because he missed a 29 yard FG? Are you kidding me?! It's the first time he's missed one inside 30 yards in 4 years! I already did it once but do you want a who's who list of other guys who have missed shorter field goals than that? How about Hanson, Bironas (TWICE), Vanderjagt, Vinatieri, etc. Tell me. Why do you people want to hold the kicker to a higher standard of perfection than everyone else? I never hear this level of ugly vitriol when receivers drop passes or RBs fumble. Elite kickers are extremely rare. At any given time there is never more than 3 or 4 of them in the NFL at the same time. There's a false perception out there that kicking a football accurately from long distances is easy. There are extremely few people in the world who can do it at the level that you seem to want to hold all kickers to. Guys like Vinatieri and Vanderjagt only come along every few years. Actually landing one on your team is usually a stroke of blind luck because those guys don't become free agents until they're clearly on the downside of their career. Once in a while a team gives up on a good one too soon. [/QUOTE]
