Correction he had a great season last year he was a top three kicker and kicked the ball off really well he has one bad game and all of a sudden he's devalued yes they should have kept the man at least let him kick through training camp and preseason and if he looked shaky then you cut the guy. I think they were premature letting Brett Maher go...
He actually never cost us a game last year and won a few games for us he kicked off very well kicked it 90%
He lost his confidence and the team lost their confidence in him.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough...Vulnerable?? How lmao Brett Maher was a top three kicker in the league last year,, kicked it 90%. his only misses were over 55 yards he was a top kicker and people wanted him gone just because he had one truly shaky game with point after attempts..
I'm sorry but the man should have been brought back at least kicked through training camp and preseason and then if he still looked shaky then you let the guy go..
in my opinion, we were nowhere near shaky, we had one of the best kicking games in the entire NFL last year.. Brett money Maher that did not get made-up the man was money all last year didn't cost us a single game. He also kicked off very well..
This is how fans act in here first they were so up in arms over Brett they wanted him gone and now they feel like everything is shaky..
they probably hoping they had him back just like everybody who wants to make a change at quarterback if you think make changes at kicker and running back are crazy, you try trying to find another quarterback that's the top ten and that could do what Prescott has done since he's been here.
Fans will always find the grass is not always greener on the other side they always seem to want to make a change until the change is made and it's worse.
And let's be clear the year before Greg Zurlien might not have been perfect but he was pretty solid and fans wanted him gone and now the same thing happened with Brett Maher fans seem to want change and then when it's made it's just not good enough..LOL.
Your comment made it sound like kickers have no value. A consistent kicker is extremely valuable, because a game or your season can be riding on their foot. RBs are obviously more valuable in the overall scheme of things, but it’s easier finding a quality RB than it is a consistent kicker. This is why teams don’t want to pay big money to RBs. This is why Zeke and Dalvin Cook are still available.
I’m not so sure he wants to come back and continue playing second fiddle to Pollard. I think he’s tired of hearing from the fan base that he doesn’t have it anymore and that he’s washed up. I think a lot of teams see him that way. That’s the main reason he’s still available and he’s not getting the kind of offer he wants. No one wants to pay big money to RBs which is why Dalvin Cook is still available. He may have to wait until the season starts for someone to suffer an injury at RB. Teams could be waiting for his price to come down. Once his options dry up, he’ll have to make a decision whether he wants to continue playing or retire.
If there’s one reason he would want to come back to Dallas it’s to team up with his BFF Dak. His options are getting close to drying up if they haven’t already. He may be down to having to wait it out for someone to suffer an injury.
Z was kicking 50 yards for the jets right down the middle
Obviously healthy now.
I would take Maher or Z over the Charlie Browns on the roster
The real issue with kickers is the risk you take if you don't have a quality person at that spot. I did a simple analysis of the league games the past few years and about 3 out of the 16 game season had a point differential of 3 points or less as a league wide average.
