Chisoxfn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Gould is untouchable. He's only 33...he's in the prime of his kicking career. Guy could kick till he's 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pillar-ish to me. Im sure Cutlers availability in the game will be determined by his own mobility, not his line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams find reliable kickers every year as FA's, UDFA's and in the draft. Use the 6th round pick on a rookie. Gould isn't worth $3m a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also won't find a lot of franchise all time passing leaders in FA and the draft yet everyone wants to get rid of Cutler. Â He's a kicker who can't get a touchback and who missed a few big kicks over the last few years. It was dumb when they paid him as much as they did. Move on. He probably won't be with the Bears in 2019 anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 30 most accurate kickers of all-time, 19 are active players right now, so that's not really true. The other 11 are relavtibrly recent amd could still be had right now really. Kickers have all become so good that there's little difference in between them these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 One way to hide awful kickoff coverage is by kicking the ball out of the end zone, which Gould doesn't seem capable of anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value of a kicker was never incredibly high, but it is deteriorating quickly. You can draft any kid from any school that can kick. The Bears have every tape of every game, so no talented kickers will fall through the cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The life of an NFL kicker is very political. I used to play ball with Robbie Gould's brother who is a kicker as well. He would tell me his agent and others would be on the horn as soon as an active kicker missed a FG trying to get their client jobs. Very cut throat.
