is Dan Bailey the best kicker in league history?
>>
if your kicker hasn't made a 60+ yard FG, then he's not even in the discussion
>>
>>64082581
Matt Prater is not in the discussion
>>
>>64082581
Not all kickers are allotted the opportunity nor does one albeit impressive kick* make a career.

*Kick was probably made in Denver
>>
>>64082595
two kickers have done it TWICE
Janikowski GOAT
>>
>Who is Morten Andersen?
>>
>GOAT Kicker Contenders

>Adam Vinatieri
highest career made %age in a season that wasn't perfect [96%]
playoff magic

>Morten Andersen
only HoF kicker

>Sebastian Janikowski
Longevity, power, being based

>Mike Vanderjagt (highest career made %age that isn't active)

>insert your team's kicker here

>>64082631
We don't even care about handegg and still be dominating the kicking game

You've mixed up the Nordmen here, Jan Stenerud is the HoFer.

Dumb desu

>>64082743
Hauschka is underrated tbph
I have nothing but respect for Vinatieri, but Gostkowski's PAT streak is too goddamn impressive. They should probably be tied for 2nd though, you're right.
>>
>>64082783
I mean Gostkowski, Vinatieri and Bailey should be tied for 2nd. Bailey's stats are impressive, yes, but he has only been in the league for 5 years.

And I was ready to hype him up as the new Vinatieri. Thank fuck I was in uni and didn't see that atrocity live, I would break something for sure if I did. That was literally the brownsiest way to choke a win away
>>
>no love for Gould
I know this year hasn't been on par with the rest of his career but fuck the guy has been one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL for years despite playing in a fucking whirlwind 8 games a year

ah, nice spot there, thanks Russki

not everyone can be GOAT-tier, Burrfriend. Does he own any significant record

>>64082957
was considering him, but his overall FG% isn't great compared to his peers. he has the longevity going for him though (but really who doesn't? inb4 Rob Bironas jokes)
>>
>>64082795
I feel like the "new generation" of elite guys (Gostowski, Tucker, Bailey, etc.) need to stick around a few more years before being considered in the GOAT discussion

Kickers as a whole are getting much better. Now it's sort of a surprise when they miss a 50-yarder.

The question is... Has any other kicker singlehandedly dominated another team to the point of CBS changing your team's name to the kicker's name?

kek, would have been even better if it score possible with only FGs
>>
>>64083082
*possible to be made just on FGs alone

if you've been watching only since 2013, maybe
>>
>>64081807
Vinatier seems like a top contender, so reliable and a lot of really clutch kicks
>>
>>64082969
most consecutive postseason field goals (19)
most points in a decade
most points by a kicker in a season
most field goals in a season
longest non-mile high field goal ever
>>64083082
he also scored on a fake touchdown run
>>
>>64082996
Check and see how many missed FGs & EPs are missed this season. Your statement is shit.

I always thought that was shopped so I checked the game on gamepass. Turn out it isn't shopped. He missed a field goal attempt in that game though

Vinatieri is GOAT, even if he was 1 for 3 in the Carolina Super Bowl

well it's obvious there's gonna be more missed XP when you pretty much double the distance you have to hit one from. Guys like Scobee and Bullock are probably pulling that %age down overall because they were/are so terrible

>>64083281
as long as you hit the one that matters, amirite?
>you now remember that SB38 was the performance of Jake Delhomme's life, and that he almost outdueled Tom Brady in the SB

Mark Mosley

must have been a really terrible crop of MVP contenders that year

Strike year actually.

>>64082957
>le choke in the playoffs man

It's a shame because he's known mostly for the 1998 NFCCG miss, but Gary Anderson was otherwise a very solid kicker over his career. He had a perfect regular season that year too, with 35-ish made in a row.
>>
>>64087155
There were only 9 regular season games that year due to players strike
>>
>>64087741
>>64087187
even so, it's kind of crazy that a kicker (that didn't play other positions like they in the past) would win an MVP over the usual suspects of 80s greats
>>
>>64086331
Lets try assessing again in 10 years when we have an appropriate sample size
