Neil Rackers isn't any better. Neither is Jay Feely.
Feely: 30-36 this past year. Good for 83%. 82% for his career
Rackers: 16-17 this past year. Good for 94%. 78% for his career
Brown: 21-32 this past year. "Good" for 66%. 77% for his career.
barrett said:But I'm on the record as saying I 100% expect him to be back this year and kick well. And if he doesn't then I think you'll see them replace him.
There are tons of guys who can kick a football.
While true, unfortunately there aren't tons who can kick it accurately in a game situation.
I expect Brown to keep his job IF he has a good preseason, but I think even if he makes the team he will be on a VERY short leash.
That's what I'm saying. I guess we aren't looking at FA kickers because we don't want to spend alot of money on PKs. However, I would consider it because our offense hasn't necessarily shown to be nails inside the 20s and we had quite a few bad second halves where our offense/coaching would sputter once we got inside the 40. Be nice to come away with some points.This seems like a pretty easy problem to solve.
1. Find a college kicker that made clutch kicks when he was in college.
2. Find a couple more.
3. Bring them in to camp.

Its still a crap shoot until they are in the NFL pressure games. I don't know the answer....I just know its not a simple one.
That's true, but I'd rather take a chance on a guy that we don't know for sure he's flamed out under NFL pressure before, rather than take a guy who was cut from another team because he failed.
SOOOOO much optimism for this year to be sweating the @#*%ing kicker. I hate this.

That dude is not that good. Yes he made the big kick against Nebraska but he also barely made that one.
it was enough to send texas to the ncg.
if he can kick a 46 yard fg to send a team to a championship, he'll be fine in the nfl.
but i expect KB to be back, but if he misses late kicks, then i want him out.
this guy is better...
if he comes out this year, only a JR...

Does anyone recall Kris Brown's FG pct in 2005? I sure do remember him missing some ridiculous kicks then too which contributed to the 2-14 season we had. Remember that bad kick against Tenn?

Thats a ridiculous thing to say.
Are you saying because a FG made is a FG made? Well go back and look at KBs made FGs, alot of those are barely made. There are times when you can see a FG kicker start to fall apart even when he makes them. Early in the season, KB was barely making them wide right or wide left. As the season wore on he started missing wide left alot.
See? Told ya the sympathetic to KB crowd would come out.
I believe (I could be wrong) the person that responded to me was referring to why I said that kicker from UT was not that good. Pretty much saying that for me to discount him because he barely made a FG is ridiculous. I was just saying that you can't discount that, because it shows how the FG kicker will eventually suck in the clutch...just like Kris Brown started to.
I assume you were talking to me about how Kris Brown sympathizers would come out, and not saying I am a KB sympathizer. That I'm totally not.
this guy is better...
if he comes out this year, only a JR...
That's the dude I'm talking about. He kicked better than the UT kid in the Big 12 Championship game.
