      True but that statement is invalid when the team doesn't win games

        for all the talk of QB this and RB/ WR that-

        kicking is still a very unique and important part of the game. Its specialized now. Years ago it was the best all around athlete that did the kicking- sometimes the QB was the kicker as well.

        they are highered to do one thing and one thing only. Score points. They should be well compensated.

        recent- Saints- Hartley- beats Vikings- keeps Saints within reach of Super Bowl win against Colts.

        if Adam Vin-noug-atieri doesnt hit certain field goals, one third of the discusions about Brady dont happen here.

        Mark Moseley- a major reason the Redskins had the season they had to get to and win the Super Bowl.

        its taken for granted as difficult as it is. The snap, the hold, the connection of foot to ball all have to be executed near perfectly for a great result.


        they are hired sharp shooters / assassins and deserve to be compensated well.

        having a great special teams/ kicker is usually what gets you the edge in games/wins/playoffs etc

        Tom Flutie- drop kick

              Umm I was talking specifically about the Raiders offense, not everyones.

              I wish we had your kicker though, we would've won atleast 3 more games and been in the playoffs:stupidsmile:
