Anders Carlson

[Heyjoe4]

Well looks like Carlson will be kicking for the Jets tomorrow.

Hey weeds where is Carlson now? Is he really with the Jets? That would be rich.

He'll do great for the Jets, they rarely need someone making XP's!

Anders has to be, beyond a doubt, the worst Xtra Point kicker in NFL history. Anders career XP stats now sit at 43-50, 86%... while his career FG numbers are 38-44, 86.4%.

Silly stat. sample size of 11 where he missed two. Way too small of a sample size to mean much of anything. That being said, Im glad he is kickng elsewhere lol.

Maybe his team should take a delay of game and he'll think it is a FG.

It is, but the point I was trying to make is last year he was brutal on extra points, missing 5.... this year he has missed 2 of 22 total kicks, both being extra points. An extra point is essentially a chip shot 33 yd FG, and missing 7 of 50 over the last 2 years, is inexcusable. I, like you, am glad he isn’t in GB anymore.

I never doubted the strength of his leg. But his accuracy/consistency, or rather the lack of it, makes him a non-starter.

I just watched Anders miss another makeable FG. I couldn't help giggling at the sight of Rodgers on the sideline will Carlson missed.

We are so much better without them.

And a PAT I believe.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Before Carlson tried the 49 yard FG, I was thinking here comes a miss wide right. That's exactly what transpired. He's predictable if nothing else.

 

[gopkrs]

I was surprised at his actual statistics since he's been with the Jets. Not that I'm not happier the way things are.

Amen to that EG.

I saw Rodgers on the Pat M show last week. He was laughing it up with the boys. Not sure what a QB on a 4-10, now 4-11 team finds so funny at this point in the season. I remember him scolding the organization in the offseason about how everyone needs to be 100% focused on football. I guess that excludes extended media appearances by him, and missing mandatory mini-camp for a vacation in Egypt.

Rodgers is gonna be Rodgers. I liked the early version of Rodgers (kind of like the Skinny Elvis versus Fat Elvis thing) where he really was focused on football and ripping up opponents and winning a lot of games for GB. I guess like Skinny Elvis, Rodgers has morphed into a different person. I liked Skinny Elvis better too.

And Carlson? Hey he's certainly consistent in his inconsistency.

McManus has been remarkably consistent. Granted he's been kicking in the NFL for 10 years. Kickers can have a long career. Hopefully his past problems are behind him and he stays in GB for a while. I trust Gluten with the decision to bring him on.

And it is not like we expect him to kick 60 yarders like Aubrey or some of the boomers in the league. Just be consistent on the very makeable kicks. And of all the flaws in Dallas this season place kicking is not one of them. Stop to think that if Aubrey misses one of those long shots last night the Bucs win the game.

Good point milani. There wasn't an expectation that Crosby could hit, consistently, from 50 yards plus.

And while others disagree, I thought he was very consistent from inside 50. Stats may not bear that out, but I don't remember praying every time he came out to try a FG from the 50 in.

And that seems to be McManus' style, that is, he's reliable from the 50 in. And that's fine. There are very few guys who consistently hit FGs over 50 yards - again just a gut feel.

So as the Packers head into the playoffs, it's good to have a kicker like McManus. I'm still thinking of that gimme that Carlson shanked against the Niners in the playoffs.

That gimme really hurt.

 

[Heyjoe4]

That gimme really hurt.

Yeah the Niners just have some weird hold over the Packers.

That won't be a problem this year, but there are other problems like the queens and eagles. Although I think the Packers can beat both teams. We'll get a partial answer next week after visiting MN.

I guess like Skinny Elvis, Rodgers has morphed into a different person. I liked Skinny Elvis better too.

Skinny Elvis didn't invent rock & roll, but he did bring it to the world's attention. Later on, Fat Elvis introduced the rest of the world to fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

I've always heard to add honey and bacon, which definitely elevate this delectable beast. Maybe it's like Cincinnati chili, where you have a 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way version if you add in the honey and/or bacon??

Nowadays, kicking from 50+ isn't much of a necessity. Teams are much more likely to go for it from that distance, instead of trying the FG.

That's true. Seems like anything from 1 to 4 yards needed on 4th down - teams will go for it.

Love what we got with McManus. We’d be wise to go ahead and get him a multi-year deal pronto. I’d offer him top 10 Kicker $ if he proves worthy this Postseason. McManus has been like perfect in Playoffs thus far

Only 2 Kickers have a higher FG% than Brandon’s 93.3%. Plus a bonus 100% XPM %

The only thing we have not seen from McManus that would complete his Portfolio is a pair of 55+ type Kicks. I’d love to see his range in real time

Carlson missed 3 XPA so that erased a FG for me (3 pts) 80.0% Kicker. He does have a big leg (58 yarder)

Just having some consistency and stability feels like a big luxury, after what we've been through.

Anders has to be, beyond a doubt, the worst Xtra Point kicker in NFL history. Anders career XP stats now sit at 43-50, 86%... while his career FG numbers are 38-44, 86.4%.

Where are they getting that "11 for 11" crap? He's 13 for 15, and his NFL career stats are 40 for 48, and 83.3%. If you put the guy in a broom closet with a football and tell him to kick it against one of the walls 11 times, he'd find a way to miss the walls at least 3 out of 11 kicks.

That's true. Seems like anything from 1 to 4 yards needed on 4th down - teams will go for it.

Especially the better teams.

And while others disagree, I thought he was very consistent from inside 50. Stats may not bear that out, but I don't remember praying every time he came out to try a FG from the 50 in.

He was 84.3% inside 50, and 55.3% beyond. But even once you got beyond 40 yards, he was petty iffy - 74.3 between 40 and 50.

Inside the 40, he was very reliable - 92.2%. He just never had a big leg.

And that seems to be McManus' style, that is, he's reliable from the 50 in. And that's fine. There are very few guys who consistently hit FGs over 50 yards - again just a gut feel.

Macmanus is just one tick better than Crosby at 50+ - 55.4%!

Only 2 Kickers have a higher FG% than Brandon’s 93.3%. Plus a bonus 100% XPM %

He's having by far the best year of his career here so far. I agree we should make it a priority to keep him - he's only 33, and that leg has a lot more kicks left in it. Look at Nick Folk - he's 40, and these last 2 seasons have been by far the best of his career. In fact, Folk's getting better every year - every single one of the last 5 seasons, he's raised his career average! How many players at any position can say that?

I'm guessing Macmanus will have a home here in Green Bay for quite a few years to come.

I am glad to see that Anders is still employed, but I will take McManus any day, and game and any kick over Anders. I agree with those who think that the Packers need to get him signed long term and do it now!

Nothing against Anders, but kicking for the 4-11 Jets, doesn't really put much pressure on a kicker. Heck, if I was a Jets fan, I would want the #1 draft position and probably be hoping he misses the rest of his kicks.

No fun being on a 4-11 team. I remember Ryan Longwell, who had a very good career in GB, had his off season in 2005 when we went 4-12. He left for Minnesota the following season.
