The Zane Gonzalez Dilemma

[AZ Native]

From 40-49 yards Zane is 61% for his career. That’s a joke for an NFL kicker.

Under 40 yards he’s 93%. If we’re keeping him we gotta be aggressive until he’s in chip shot range.

Who is better and available?

 

[AZfaninMN]

Zane is probably another bad game from getting his real estate license. Nugent is on the practice squad for a reason

You mean the guy who missed a game winner last season from 40 yards for NE the cut shortly after? He was 5-8 for them in their playoff push and hasn’t kicked/played in a game in over a year and has been on 5 teams in 4 seasons. His most recent full season he was 23-28. If you want special teams to be a problem here’s your guy.

when you miss an easy FG to win last week and then somehow come up SHORT on a 49 yard FG to tie the next week, you may not be THE problem, but you’re one of them.

I mean, he also kicked the tie at the end of normal time, and the actual winner in OT, but lets just focused on the one he missed, after he made it already.

Bottom line for me is that I have lost confidence in Gonzales. IMO, he is no longer reliable. However, I feel we are stuck with him for this season. I just don't see another good option.

Yes, because that one lost the game. Only the fact that Russell Wilson then gifted us the ball gifted him another chance. So, yes, that was a CRUCIAL miss.

 

[AZ Native]

There are so many kickers out there who are proven to be better than Zane. What are we waiting for?

 

[Wanderer]

I am not sure you want to hop on the kicker carousel at this point.

Shorting from 49 is bad, I am not denying that, but man some teams go years without finding even decent kickers.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Cut him

 

[Stout]

Cut him

Yes, but we've waited far too long. He tried to lose us one, and he's trying to lose us another one.

I wonder how Kyler feels about Zane Gonzales costing his team 2 wins?

See ya

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Zane is as good as Gonzo now!

 

[Jetstream Green]

Zane is a great college football kicker

No, our idiot team will keep him.

 

[Dante]

Cut him tonight, tired of seeing this choke artist on the field.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Only question is whether or not there is even a decent replacement available. They better at least have some possible replacements in this week, but due to covid we would probably be stuck with him next week either way.

There is no dilemma.

There are about fifty guys that won't leave 49 yarders short

 

[Proximo]

There is no dilemma.

agreed. Today was the last straw.

 

[JosiahLee]

Man, I think it’s time to finally make a switch.

cost the cards a playoff berth

Zane has to go! He plays scared...the 49 yard kick he left short was evident of this. Just cant make big kicks sorry!

When I see him tee up for a meaningless kick, I know he will make it. But when he tees up for a kick that is actually important I basically assume he will miss it.

This aint college son

yup. He’s Rackers Part 2. Remember that year Rackers set a record for most FGs made in a row... in games we got regularly plastered in? The next season he missed every big FG.
