[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 698072, member: 265"] You missed the point completely, as usual. You have to handle kickers with kid gloves. I know that "competition is king" and all that, but [I]not with kickers[/I]. With someone like Wells, you accept their limits and work within them. And you don't undermine their confidence by basing their chances on anything but their performance in games. Giving him a scholarship then undermining all the happy talk by not depending on him to do the placekicking is exactly the kind of thing you [I]don't do[/I] with a successful kicker. Especially when the player you pick to replace him is one who can't hit his kicks consistently. It's water under the bridge now, of course. All we can hope for, like I say above, is that the new kids get handled better. [/QUOTE]
