Greg Zuerlein deserves praise also

Apart from his week 1 horror show, he’s been clutch ever since.
Hit a long game winning kick in Los Angeles and nailed a long one to take the game to overtime in New England … the only field goal he’s missed since week 1 was a 50+ yarder, so hopefully we have again a reliable kicker.

I like him and I hear ya. Here's why I disagree. The man has 1 job to do. Kick the ball between the uprights. THATS IT. If a guy can't do that consistently, I take issue with that. Yes he's done his job lately. Good for him. Lets reserve praise 4 when the playoffs are on the line and he makes a kick. I will be the first to applaud him. Until then..I expect him to do his job well.

yes well the flogging will continue until the morale improves....He's a streaky dude.

I'm over being up tight when he lines up to kick, now. I believe he'll do nothing but stay on track, now that he's healthy again.

He's been around long enough to know how to maintain his + mentality. He's had plenty of experience to keep himself sharp.

Your points are correct and sensible, but it’s not always as simple as that.
There’s pressure that will affect anyone, also if the timing of getting the ball set for the kick is out, that’ll affect the kick sometimes.
You see in soccer penalty takers miss an 8 yard by 8 foot target from 12 yards even though they can hit a 50 yard pass to a runners feet.
He’s certainly not money like Bailey was for a few years, but he’s 13/14 since week 1 and he deserves credit for it.

Zuerlein knows the ropes, when it comes to keeping himself fit and making the adjustments needed to succeed.

I think he's on a steady incline to do nothing but improve. Someone with the experience he's had knows how to.

I wasn’t sure he was going to survive after the Tampa Bay game. Yep I think he’s doing as well as anybody else in the league
