Wesley Wells

[Milwaukee]

Kicker and QB should be exempt from week to week practice competition nonsense.

Agreed.

So let's take your business example.
You have a top salesman that Comes into the office at 11 and leaves at 3.

And then takes the top clients to the Cheetah

I'm more bothered by our inability to KO to the end zone that an occaisionaly missed long FG attempt. That is where we need Wells or King or TBD to step up.

Fortunately we only KO'd 3 times in the game.

I'm guessing he did not practice atl last week(Wells)

With the fair catch rule, as long as they can kick it high, we may be ok.

if he's not practicing in atlanta , where would he practice?

 

[White_Gold]

If he played over Wesley, I can assure you that he earned it. It’s completely different than the last coaching staff that didn’t necessarily start or play the best players that could be put on the field.

Proof of this?

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

You are right, Wells would have made it, he's a gamer.

Wells won’t make every kick. Even Buttkicker missed some. But he will make a higher percentage than King ever will.

Idk who needs to hear this, probably OP, but yall need to stop making thread titles like this. Just one or two extra words can make this a much better thread title

What kind of proof would you need? Seems like your mind is already made up

Lol. Assure us? Please try. I’m not giving the last regime a pass for doing this (Bryan) stupid stuff and not giving CGC a pass either. Sewak was a fool and CGC is being one now.

404 culture.....where practice matters more than games.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

I was sick to my stomach when the kick went wide right. I turned to my dad and said, “Well, he was bound to miss one eventually.” Needless to say I was glad that it wasn’t Wells that missed and shocked that King got the attempt. If you are going to wear teal shoes during a game, you better have the skills to back it up. Hopefully Wells learned his lesson and wins his spot back.

Hopefully CGC learned his lesson and won’t make another boneheaded ATL call. His rhetoric indicates otherwise.

 

[JDjacket]

All of this debate over the kicker can only mean one thing...

Wells starts this week and misses a field goal leading to more confusion and "I told you so's."

Similar-ish to a situation happened in the English premier league. Man U gets a player who hadn't missed a PK and one game the secondary penalty kicker takes it and misses and there's a huge uproar. Following game the guy that hadn't missed goes for one and misses. Good ol murphy always showing up when he's least wanted.

The OP was reminded on page 1, bro. He issued the standard 10-page apology.

We're on top of it.

Ill accept it this time.

Not enough tire flips last week?

So let's take your business example.
You have a top salesman that has all the contacts, knows the right people and what they are looking for, and how to make the sale.....he has a track record of top sales every year. Comes into the office at 11 and leaves at 3. The new hire doesn't have a clue, but it at his desk at 8 am and doesn't leave until 7 pm.....does everything the new boss asked him etc. So the new boss promotes the new kid because of " culture".

Guess what happens......I can tell you because I have seen it happen. Bankruptcy.

In that example, the new guy is getting a promotion purely because of culture and being a "yes man" and not performance. If the top salesman is actually out performing the new kid, he should the job.

CGC has specifically said that King out preformed Wells in practice to earn the right to kick. That's why I tried to keep all things outside of performance equal in my example. As far as we know(from what CGC has said publicly), Wells and King show up to practice on time and both work hard but King has just kicked better in practice. Like everyone else, I think Wells earned the starting job, but I also don't expect CGC to make an exception to his rules because it will undermine everything he is trying to build.

No, I just asked a question. Where is your proof that the best players weren't played?
