for now i am going to apply the kareem hunt rule when it comes to our new kicker.
botched the first, he will be game money the rest of the way? :-)
i must say it is weird seeing the fans in the screen shots of the new kicker. the old one always was shown with nothing but grass behind him. :-) [Reply]

Tucker is unbelievable. He once had a year where he went 10/10 on kicks longer than 50 yards. He's made 174 of 177 kicks inside of 40 yards and 95% of his kicks over his career of less than 50 yards. Oh, and since 2016 he's hit on about 85% of his kicks over 50 yards. He had those 2 weird years where he really struggled from long distances. In those 2 years he missed 11 kicks over 50 yards. He's missed 7 in every other year of his career combined.
Dude's just a monster.
He's basically the Steph Curry of place-kicking. I have a co-worker that's from Maryland, so I've heard every stat Tucker owns, and he owns them all.
And not just during his career or in the last 20 years, but in all of NFL history. And it's not close. At all. Tucker is not human.
Maybe Butkicker is the Larry Bird, whatever. I can live with that. Larry Bird was a beast in his own right. Butker is far better than whoever is third, and that's not terribly close either. [Reply]
The only criticism I can find of Tucker seem to come from the SDH types of Ravens fans, who argue he's been Kershaw like in his postseason performances (a God in the regular season but critical misses in his playoff opportunities). Most Ravens fans argue it's a sample size/field conditions issue. Their fandom is all hoping he can add a few signature playoff moments to his resume.
That 66 yard field goal just put him in a different category for me. There's Tucker and there's everyone else. [Reply]
