Jax wins March. Won't make playoffs.

Also the Raiders. I have already had a run in with a dumbass raider fan. Weird thing is I didn't know raider fans existed anymore.

Derek Anderson's done it before.

Unknown if Waters has.

He was more than just the punter, he was the holder for fg's too. Don't discount that. Best of luck to Nortman. I don't get why so many feel the need to trash a guy when he leaves.

Most punters are the holders these days.  It use to be the backup QB but that is becoming more rare.  So finding a holder shouldn't be much of a challenge.  Plus, the Panthers have one of the best long snappers in the league.

"You could count on him to shank at least one punt a game" isn't trash talk.

It's truth talk.

We're not required to glorify the abilities of past mediocre players.  The truth will suffice.

"One punt a game" is an exaggeration, but yes he shanked some and generally at a really bad time.

We lowballed him (and probably rightly so), and the Jags made a better offer.

Now we see what happens with our punter and the Jags third round pick.

Some games he shanked two, so via the law of averages I stand by my statement. :P

Is punter the most replaceable position in football?

Special teams players are (gunners, etc).  And then long snapper.  Then punter.

Pretty much agree. Only counterpoint is often your best ST players are your next level LBs etc.

In other words the best teams in the league have next year's starters playing gunner.

I wish him the best. And I ain't trashing him.  But you could bet your house he'd shank 1 at the worst time. That ain't beating him up that's the f-ing truth. 

And if we need a placeholder  I volunteer my services for 25% of what shankman was making.

Its time to let Joe Webb hold and have the threat of a fake FG run or pass
