And if people remember, several weeks ago when everyone was cheering our new punter and chanting to cut the old punter, I brought up this very fact, that kicking is not the only job of a punter. Rekhow better get better at holding for McPherson or he'll lose his job.

Yes I know who is who, but Cal is shitting the bed on his snaps! He is very inconsistent with his accuracy

this is something that should work out over time

Would you say that he has declined with the new holder? 

There's nothing very credible to back that up. It's early in the season so his volume is low meaning a missed kick does a lot of damage. However, taking what he has right now...

1. His XP% hasn't declined. His worst season there was in 2022.
2. His short field goals haven't declined. His worst season there was also 2022.
3. His 40-49 yard field goals technically are lower but he only has three attempts. If he makes one this week it then changes to the second best of his career.
4. His long field goals haven't declined. His worst season there was 2023.
   

What is possible is that Evan overperformed in 2021 and has been regressing to the mean since then. It is possible that he isn't all that good. I'm not saying I believe that, but it is possible. His FG% has declined every single season since.

Interestingly, the inverse is our collective blood pressure each time he trots out on the field in a crucial situation.

It would be nice for him to have the same snapper, holder combo for back to back seasons so we can see who really is to blame. He never has unlike our last kickers who had the same combo for 10 years.

Money has had to deal with a change every year he's been in the league. 

Its time to start talking about replacing McPherson.

Unfortunately, we just paid him so that’s not happening. You could potentially do it after the season but even that cap hit is basically flat to the salary so your paying him not to play for you for the same price.

Think it's just some yips. Needs to get out of his own head.

Clearly the punter’s fault.

Then they need to learn the effing stupid play the eagles run to guarantee a half yard and start going for it on forth cause at 50+ you just guarantee giving the other team the ball.

McPherson hasn’t just lost his ability to kick. And even if it’s the yips the question is where did it come from.

What is losing or missing field goals? Never said he lost the game if thats what your implying. But at 50+ anymore hes almost a guaranteed miss. You can't have that.

We won’t bring that tread up but y’all swore there was nothing wrong with him in that thread…. When I was the first to peep the issue. Me trying to figure out why takes nothing away from the heat I took for seeing the issue well ahead of everyone. 

But again. “Bad takes” today, common knowledge a month from now. 

And here we are. Weeks later and it’s common knowledge there’s an issue.

I think you need to reread my post. I was making a joke about a thread we had here about needing Brad Robbins back to hold.

I’m as fed up with the kicker as the next guy.

It's ***OFFICIAL***. Evan McPherson is now currently known as..."Evan McPherson". 

Nickname revoked.

Finally. Now is not the time judge, but to learn.

Yes and it looks like it is with the kicker.
