It’s a league wide problem.
He fucked us over twice when we needed him most. As of right now, fuck him.
He still needs to perform better
How about not leaving the game in the hands of a struggling kicker. Taylor always wants to try and settle for long game winning field goals.
It’s new holders.
Mac, Tucker, Elliott… all with a solid reputation for accuracy, all struggling this year, all have brand new holders. (Plus new longsnappers in the mix doesn’t help either.)
Look at the variable that changed between all three. It’s not rocket science.
He got married and had a kid.. that’s his problem..
They fucked with the Kicking balls, somehow. Either they’re slicker or less broken in. That’s the simplest theory that explains a sudden rise in snap, hold, and kick issues
Too many kickers, too suddenly, with too many procedural issues as well. They did something to the K balls.
No excuse for the money he’s making, he can do way better. Needs to train more with his holders and snappers, and train himself more.
•He’s making an average annual salary of $5.5 million, which is tied for the fifth-largest total among kickers.
•2025 salary: $10 million, which is nearly 10 times his 2024 base salary of $1,055,000
Contract is through 2027
The fact people are getting downvoted for criticizing him is crazy. I don’t care what he’s done for us in the past. Kicking good for one Super Bowl run that we didn’t win doesn’t matter.
One good year and two bad years and you clowns are okay with it? Dude is getting paid millions of dollars to have the 39th best fg % and cost us games and you all are okay with it?? Get serious. I don’t care what his issues are, he has ONE JOB. FIX IT OR GET LOST.
I know I’m most likely going to get downvoted into oblivion but i don’t care. It’s put up or shut up. Revamp the entire franchise. Coaching staff can all go. Front office can go. Changes need to be made or we’re going to waste a generational QB and WR. Clearly none of you have played at a higher level outside of junior high or high school or you’re just okay with being a perennial loser.
Can I honestly ask when 70% became a struggle? I mean yes he has had some blown kicks, one was a botched hold. But i wouldn’t say he is anywhere near the point i would cut him next year.
I hope they bring in some competition at a minimum

He’s one of the absolute worst
