SenorGato Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 All kickers are risky. It's the nature of the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Stover was under 77% in 6 of his first 8 seasons and under 73% in each of his first 3. Joe Nedney never even reached 70% until his 4th season (where he had a pathetic 71%). He's been almost 90% since then. Especially with younger kickers, their past is not necessarily indicative of their futures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 NFL placekickers are one of the most interchangable parts in all of sports. I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozer76 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Especially with younger kickers, their past is not necessarily indicative of their futures. Anfd that pendulum swings both ways. Remember when Vanderjagdt was considered elite? Kickers literally change season by season for better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnytestaverde Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 We all knew Folk was a huge risk. Hopefully there's a decent kicker available somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickers literally change season by season for better or worse. My point wasn't that Folk is likely to be awesome. Rather, that a kicker's career can make a sudden change from awful to great. It goes without saying that it can go the other way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes without saying that it can go the other way as well. Let's hope so. So many things go into a successful kick. It's risky by nature as Gato said.
