How about Brett Maher?

[Kage]

How about this kid?

Not exactly "pressure" kicks, but kicks none the less.


Anyone else just love seeing the ball hit the net when kicking from 50+?

Nobody will ever give Garrett credit but boy did he nail this one so far.

Well said indeed Sir -credit is due

Can he crack jokes like Bill ??????????

 

[MyFairLady]

Dude has been an absolute beast. JG set him up for failure with that first kick from 55 yards or whatever it was. He missed it but has not blinked since. Powered right through. Very impressive.

If his jersey said Bailey I wouldn't even know.....dude is money right down the middle almost every time.

You mean Jerry & Co. not garrett, he doesn't make personnel decisions. He still doesn't even have a say so If a player will player or not lol.

Must have been McClay! Blame Garrett for the wrong moves.

Of course not.

The whining on this board after Bailey was released and then after the kid missed his first kick was insufferable.

 

[RodeoJake]

He's a good kicker, but can he hit like Chris Jones?

 

[Hailmary]

Maher's a keeper. Take into consideration the cowboys ability to recognize and develop kickers over the years. And you don't replace one of the most accurate kickers in the league unless you see him as a special talent (granted Bailey was showing signs of regression late last season). Trust this fo when it comes to kickers.

 

[blueblood70]

where are all the haters? wheres that post , someone find the hate link,that Jerry and JG would rue the day they cut Baily.. Regardless of Bretts long term future, its was the right choice purely because of Bailys injury history, declining skills and 3.1 million dollar contract vs 480k ..Even if Maher wasn't perfect just average it was still worth it..the Dan Bialy is done, he got Nick Folked..if BM can just be 80% its still better than a lot of the other kickers in the league..

I'm going to get some Carrot Juice right now.

To be honest, Bailey has been good thus far as well for the Vikings...he's missed two kicks but overall he's been great for them. If we had gone with Bailey I think we'd be just as well off...except we do save salary with this kid. The rest of the season will tell if it was the right move.

I don't know about the "hitting" part, but he can punt (maybe not to the level of Jones, but he is a decent punter). Heaven forbid anything happen to Jones in a game, but if it were to happen, Maher could step in and keep the team afloat in that area.

This also wasn't a move just for this year. 2 or 3 years will decide.

93.75% on field goals so far. Not too bad. I'll be interested to see how he does when it gets cold (eagles and Giants) later in the season.
