Well all I can say is I am a Nebraska native/fan. Punter should be one of the easiest things for a layman to judge ability, and at Iowa, Taylor was really good!
Am I dumb or were we all celebrating him last year
He definitely has not been great this year. That said, it’s a 4 game sample size. He has the leg strength and talent, barring an injury it’s not something you just “lose”
Hopefully he’ll get in a better rhythm after the bye
I really wanted to be wrong about the idea of taking a punter in the 4th round. But yikes. If weāre talking wins above replacement compared to UDFAsā¦. Yikes.
Heās the 23rd best punter in my fantasy league so I think weāre fine.
He likes to line them at the receiver to be fairā¦
He plain sucks bring a random undrafted, free agent heāll beat them out.
Is there a “time to kick” stat? It feels like almost every one of his punts is on the verge of being blocked. Maybe he just feels rushed or something.
IDC what the stats say he is our secret weapon š» down!!
Maybe drafting kickers and punters in the first 6 rounds is kinda dumb after all
Fun fact: Poles has drafted a Punter higher than any pass rushers and also as many Punters as he drafted pass rushers (Trenton Gill and Tory Taylor vs DRob and Austin Booker). Taylor 4th round pick, DRob and Austin Booker both 5th round picks.
He has had a grand total of 10 punts so far. Iād let this have a little more run before writing the your senator about it.Ā
Brought in to be a really good punter and he just hasn’t been. Acting like he needs more time seems so silly. He’s a 4th round pick, it shouldn’t take so much for a punter to be better.
ā¦.sure. Letās bitch about the punter.
Also bottom 1/3 in the league for YPAā¦
It’s crazy how much leeway the sub gives some guys and less than none to others.
Possible small sample-size? Do you have numbers for last season?
Iāve never understood the Tory hate I also donāt follow punting analytics but I feel like Tory totally passes the eye test
What’s that? A whisper in the wind? No, it’s countless Bears fans rushing to defend another dogshit Poles move.

King Poles
Zero fair catches is kinda wild ngl
Go outside man
Poles HAS to go. Literally the only pick he’s hit on in 4 years is Odunze (Caleb was a no brainer that doesn’t count)
Downvoted for calling Poles terrible? 2 wins really deludes this sub š¤£
Bruh, this is what you’re doing at 11PM in a FRIDAY?
Caleb was right. Taylor isnāt going to be punting that much, because heās gonna get cut from the team!
Maybe the Bucs will trade us Bucky Irving for him.
That punt though last game- that was amazing and I think one of the key reasons we got the win.
He had some amazing kicks last year too. With him, letās wait until week ten at least before we give him the r/CHIbears treatment.
Taylor is 28 years old.
He’s already at his peak.
This is as good as it gets.
That stat seems stupid. He was the best player on the team last year.
And
Yeah, he should have never been drafted. Dude is not itā¦
Who cares?
This doesnāt fit my narrative so Iām choosing to ignore it
Well sure but… fuck
Edit: ignore me and enjoy the cool video if you want.
With the new kick off rules, that’s not always a bad thing. Check out this full break down.
