We let him go because he looked abysmal in camp - certainly worse than the current kicker at the time (Gano). As it turns out, if we had stuck with either option we'd have won, but we let Butker go and then moved on from Gano, as well. No kicker since has been as good as Gano or as good as Butler has been for the Chiefs (although both Butker and Gano are coming off of off-years, and two of Butker's last three years have been kind of bad).

The Huddle is very bad at analyzing kickers. They demanded Graham Gano be cut for years despite being a very good kicker for us, and among the most accurate in 2017 and 2018. Well, we cut him and the replacement, Joey Slye, is aggressively awful - consistently the worst full-time kicker in the league. Takes us years to find Piniero, who still isn't actually as good as Gano (who had three very, very good seasons with the Giants after we let him). Basically, in the time that has been since we let Gano go, we still haven't found a kicker as good as him (Piniero is far worse beyond 50 than average, and 50+ kicks were an area Gano was good at), and Gano is somehow still in the league. Finding good kickers is not easy.

Well, back to kicker purgatory again. Last time we got two years of an absolutely abysmal kicker, hopefully that's not the case this time.

Dude bridgewater never had a game half as good as this. Bryce took this game over, he wasn't game managing.

He's the guy. Time to shore up our defense. Winning season is coming.

Ballgame!

He's the reincarnation of Patrick Jeffers

That's five touchdowns now. But two are rushing, so they don't count right?

Bryce is balling.

Funny how we never had any issue drafting players in the middle first round during the Fox/Rivera eras. It's almost like winning culture matters more than tanking more draft picks.

Another passing TD for the stat guys. But I'm sure this will be disregarded too.

I really don't understand how you can see how Bryce is playing right now and not be highly impressed. I say this as the OG #1 Bryce Young hater. He's proven me so wrong.

What a throw.

I'm sold on him honestly. Build up that defense now.

I hate the 3-4. It’s so soft against the run. 4-3 is where it’s at.

Well deserved!

He's still only at 15/16 games compared to the old schedule.

You're right, Chuba is 4th rn not 3rd

Rushing yards: 1) DeAngelo Williams - 1,515 (2008) 2) Stephen Davis - 1,444 (2003) 3) Chuba Hubbard - 1,195 (2024) 4) Jonathan Stewart - 1,133 (2009) 5) Anthony Johnson - 1,120 (1996) Rushing touchdowns: 1) DeAngelo Williams - 18 (2008) 2) Christian McCaffrey - 15 (2019) 3) Cam Newton - 14 (2011) 4) Stephen Davis - 12 (2003) 5T) Chuba Hubbard - 10 (2024 - tied with 2008/2009 Jonathan Stewart, 2015 Cam Newton) With two games left, Chuba has an outside chance of breaking the all-time single-season record if he averages 160 yards a game. If he averages 125 per game, he would break Davis's 2003 total.

This aged poorly

He has another 64 rushing + 2 overall TDs.

As a founding member of Bryce Haters Inc., I relinquish my membership. This is everything I wanted to see and more, but most importantly he's showing he is clutch. I'm seeing routine conversions on 3rd and long, an amount of slipperyness that has to be infuriating to play against, and generally excellent decision making.

He dropped it

We’ve never been good at drafting receivers
