[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1079033, member: 17987"] Just a little note. Out of all kickers who have attempted a field goal this year (40), McManus ranks 38th in expected points added (34 attempts). Lucas Havrisik (10 attempts) is 17th, and is 4th in the league when adjusted for EPA per kick attempted. (If you adjust to a slightly higher minimum qualifying number of kicks - say minimum 10 field goals attempted - McManus is still ~34th) The gap is pretty stark too. The top three kickers in the league right now (Boswell, Folk, and Pineiro) all have over 17 expected points added. The top 5 are all at +10 EPA or above, and overall there are 29 kickers with a positive kicking EPA. There are just 11 players who have attempted a field goal this year and have a negative kicking EPA. McManus currently sits at -9.8 expected points added, which as mentioned is 38/40 kickers. Adjusted per-kick that is -0.29...which also ranks 38th out of 40. Now I am willing to chalk some of that off to injury/not being fully healthy, but the continued insistence to stick with McManus for the past few weeks has been nothing short of a disaster. We had a blocked field goal vs the Browns, a miss vs the Panthers, and passed up some (theoretically) makeable field goals vs the Eagles before missing one to lose the game (and that's to say nothing of situations vs Cleveland/Carolina in which we might've passed up a potential FG situation). It's not unreasonable to say that in spite of our horrific offensive performances we could still have zero losses right now if we'd handled this kicking situation better. [/QUOTE]
