Myers

[renofox]

Every kicker in the NFL makes their fanbase nervous, except maybe Brandon Aubrey. Jason Myers made 26 out of 30 FG attempts last year, 86.7%, which is better than the league average. His career FG percentage is right around there. We could do a lot worse. (By comparison, Aubrey has made 90% during his 2-year career, but made 84% last year.)

The extent to which watching a FG attempt fills you with anxiety and trepidation (@AROS), is more a function of your own psyche, and I doubt that it would be fixed by getting a new placekicker.

Chad Ryland, the Cardinals placekicker, which someone on this thread praised, has a career average of 77%, and in 2023 made only 64% of his FG attempts, 16 out of 25. So be careful what you wish for.

This. Myers is top-5 to -10 throughout his career. Those seeking long-term perfection are doomed to disappointment.

He's not going to make every kick. While kickers will always make me nervous, I just don't worry about Myers that much.

The Seahawks have had plenty of kickers over the years who made me nervous every time they kick. While my nerves are always a little bit on edge for a FG or extra point, with Meyers my nerves are only at about 14% frazzled over his career.

Dude leads the league in points, but how dare he make wobbly kicks off grass!

Yeah, if your fantasy team is dependent on the kicker, you're in trouble.

Since 2023 to date, among kickers with at least 30 attempts, there are 17 other kickers who are better than Myers.



He's not horrible, but he's not great either. He's basically MID, while making TOP 6 kicker money. It's not unreasonable to expect more from Myers.
