Twitter: Jets cut PK Brett Maher

[America's Cowboy]

You remember him? Maher is the only kicker so far who has ever made 3 60+ yard FGs during a game, in a career, much less for the same team (Cowboys). Too bad he was the worst kicker in efficiency between 35 - 49 yard FGs in 2019. He easily cost the Cowboys 3+ games, even though for some it's easier to blame Dak! lol

Since he is now available, who wants Maher back?

I'm still annoyed that we hurriedly cut Bailey in favor of this guy.

 

[Teague31]

He won’t even have to move when Red signs him

Shocker

yeh now he can sleep better tonight ....

Garrett ran across the hall and told the Jets to run not walk to the cutting mechanism to get rid of the cursed Maher..

That was my first thought, Clap boy will pick him up.

Yall do realize that Jason Garrett is not the head coach right?

Bailey had been going downhill for two seasons and was not kicking well in camp in 2018. The team couldn't know whether he would ever regain his form. He went on to make 75 percent of his kicks in 2018 before rebounding in 2019.

The fact that they decided to cut him was not the issue. The fact that they brought in no competition for Maher the next year when he only had made 80 percent of his kicks was.

No one "hurriedly" cut Dan Bailey.

2015 - 93.8%
2016 - 84.4%
2017 - 75.0%
cut
2018 - 75.0% (Vikings)
2019 - 93.1% (Vikings)

I'm glad he bounced back last season but for 3 years he was anything but "money" Bailey.

Definitely true, but I think Zeuerlein made 75 percent of his kicks last season and we had no issue signing him to a multi year deal.

They act like he owns the Giants lol.

Barely Makes It Maher.

Not only no, but hell no!

 

[The Dallas1575]

I miss him!

 

[Bullflop]

Maher was certainly an enigma . . . a guy who could hit FGs from 60 yds. but couldn't be counted on for 30-40 yarders.

It seemingly had the makings of a panicky hang-up. The kicks everyone thought he'd make with ease gave him mental stress.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Does this make the Jets smarter, since it didn't take a training camp to see right thru this guy.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Guy has a booming leg but he’s not pro material.

 

[Flamma]

Everyone wants their kicker to be consistent. But other than that I couldn't give a crap about kickers. Does anyone remember the 70s Steelers kicker? The 90s Cowboys kickers? What about the 2000 Ravens or 2013 Seahawks kickers? Yeah the Bills would be 1-3 instead of 0-4 in Super Bowls, but in the 3 they lost it wouldn't matter if Jesus Christ was their kicker. If you're going to blame your kicker for multiple losses then I think your team has other problems. Other than 2001 I don't see kickers having too much impact on whether or not a team wins the SB.

Wasn't there a thread about how our kicker missed a 60+ field goal during training camp? We need a new kicker now. Sign him up
