Being a kicker in the NFL is like the best job ever

[PortCityProphet]

The pressure tho!

In high school, we were down 2, and we needed 30 yds to get in fg range. QB threw me a lateral pass and I took it for 35yds.

We get the kicker on the field, and we saw this small brown spot on his pants. It got bigger and bigger as it came time for the kick. Right as the ball was snapped, their d lineman yelled "I SMELL shyt!". The snap was bad, and the kicked ran the ball for a 25 yd td cuz no one wanted to tackle him. One of our o linemen got shyt on the back of his neck when he carried the kicker off on his shoulders.

this

think about it. you usually dont do shyt. dont even get first team reps in practice like that.

if u fukk up in actual game, no one finna blame you becaue usually the team is getting blown out/blowing out the opponent or the first qb is injured and youre unprepared.

I mean practice for a backup QB's gotta be way worse than that for a punter or kicker.

punter's the easiest, then fg kicker then backup QB

(realizing, of course, all these jobs take a great deal of skill)

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

so ?
being best punter in history beats being a shytty linebacker or something

so the Raiders have no business paying $4M for a punter lol

Speak for yourself, Matt Bryant of the Falcons gets all the groupies


That dude is when it comes to kicking game winners.

fukk him, the faget ass falcons and their "fans"

Kicker is mos def the best job.
You rarely get hit by those oversized grunt men...
...you can have the longest career
...and all the other points the OP made.

Of course you can get fired...but the average player only last 3yrs or so anyway...plus they end up flabby and sick when they retire.
Kicker stays winning, gets drunk the night before...and gets it done in the afternoon.

If I have kids im training him/her to be a kicker...at the very least can get some free college.

Did Matt the "Boss" Bryant steal your teams soul and kick a game winner,breh? He does that alot

Teams be looking like this when they think they got the Falcons sewed up


Then Matt Ryan gets us into Field goal range then Bryant comes out and nails the shot then teams look like this

this makes no sense. if youre the best in business it you get paid accordingly. people overlook STs but its important element in football.

you're lucky I have tons of respect for you southern cali brehs

 

[Spliff]

How many playoff games were decided by a FG tho? I bet these pressure situation take years off these dudes lives

 

[Reggie]

Yeah as longer as kickers are hitting they have the best jobs in the NFL. But if they miss in the playoffs like Cundiff then they are the sole reason the team lost. But i wouldn't mind if i was a kicker. The only job that compares is maybe the backup QB.

 

[Card Holder]

Long snapper >>>

As far as the kicking thing go, being a punter is probably better
