Are we in on Kicker Robbie Gould?

[bottleKids]

Crazy how Mahar was money in the bank until the Commanders game, and then he basically disintegrated.

I think Kickers are a lot like Closers in baseball... head cases once they get the yipps. Unless you get someone like a Gould, or Vinatari, or Gostkaswi .... or in baseball, Riveria, Papelbon, etc...

Some guys you want have the ball in the 9th or kicking a game tying XP with 1 second left .

i just remember his original crazy windup where he was basically facing the opposite endzone when lining up for a kick.

I liked the signing of garibay myself. Kickers are just hard to figure out. We had a really good one all year to the end and he fell apart. I think the league stopping the assistance on kicks got in his head. It really only helped distance but kicking is such a mental thing

It always seemed bizarre to me that given how many games are literally put in the hands of kickers….that teams don’t use more resources on it.

Actually….a few exceptions aside of course, history shows that the few high picks that were kickers don’t work out at all. So I guess I answered my own question lol.

Gould has never missed a single game in the playoffs. Ever. You get there and he is clutch

hes not worth a price battle. next

hes not coming here.,9ers resigning him moot point

pick another target

who else is actually available?

Seems to happen a lot in Dallas. Folk, Maher, Bailey.

seems to happen all over the NFL , believe the NFL Not for long was for most kickers.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

LOL. Weaken a NFC opponent? Do you realize who is in charge?

If you want to weaken the 49ers you would've did better signing Hargrave then taking their kicker away lol.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

This would make a lot of sense if it is us.....rebuilding the position, huge issue last year, weaken the 49ers...

We should be.

Jerry & Co. will play games and go with an unproven rookie street free agent.

That's just the kicker position. They all go through it.

If we aren't in on Gould or even if we are and he signs elsewhere I would assume our next kicker is coming to us via the draft

Lol, Purplebut doesn't belong in the same sentence as Rivera.

 

[rags747]

Rather keep Money Maher.

 

[Mannix]

Asinine to give up on Maher!!!!

Ironically that was right after the league cracked down on using a disc under the ball. I think that got in his head because all it did was give you extra range. But it would mean needing to kick lower. Other kicker adjusted and he melted down. After an off season he may bounce back. But it might be really hard to trust him

You gotta be kidding

Can't hurt, and he's usually very consistent. Why not?

 

[RoboQB]

Anyone else remember Gould turning to the Cowboys sideline after making each kick in the playoffs?
Dude was talking trash to our kicker after making each kick.... I dunno. I think I love that. Let's sign him... lol

 

[T-RO]

LOL. What year was that?

He hasnt been that guy in YEARS.

OK. OK. I'm cynical on Jones too, but do we really need to this in every single damn thread? Give it a rest.

 

[bottleKids]

Lol, Purplebut doesn't belong in the same sentence as Rivera.

He is 11th all time in saves, but yeah it was just an example, I can use Trevor Hofmann if it makes it any better :-D

 

[Bullflop]

I'd take a good kicker any day, whether it's Robbie Gould or not.
There's gotta be someone to fill that need somewhere!

Here hoping we'll beat the bushes to find a good one.
