Nah dude, I'm gonna quit CCS and get ready for next year in case Piniero falters and Gould gets old. I'm coming.
I hope he turns out to be a stud, I'm just skeptical at this point.
I will be skeptical of any kicker, Gould included, until about mid season at minimum next year and even if perfect all year, all over again if the Bears make the playoffs.
It's funny because I was just reading a GM ranking article with Pace at 15, with the big knock being his overall record and blowing the kicker situation since Gould.
"Having only ever known last place as a general manager, Ryan Pace embarked on a survival mode 2018 offseason, hiring John Fox’s polar opposite in Matt Nagy before splurging on Allen Robinson, Trey Burton and Taylor Gabriel in free agency. For the grand finale, Pace included a pair of first-round picks in a package for Oakland’s Khalil Mack. The moves had the desired effect, sending the Bears to the playoffs for the first time in eight years. Nagy won Coach of the Year honors, while Mack was a DPOY contender. The good feelings came to an abrupt halt thanks to an earlier Pace mistake, his 2016 release of Robbie Gould. As Gould remained one of the league’s best kickers, Pace made Cody Parkey one of the most overpaid. In the wake of Parkey’s walkoff shank in the Wild Card Round was a reality check.
My feet are size 11 but I am only 5 foot 11 not 6 foot 6. If they put u in goal I could knock your head off at least 7 out of 10 shots. Cant grow a big beard tho.
Halfempty only posts stuff and formulates his opinion from stuff that fits his never ending the sky is falling attitude on all things Bears.Letting Gould go was the correct thing to do, Gould has said he lost his focus that resulted in him missing kicks for the Bears prior to his departure. Do you even pay attention or just look for shit and believe it?
Parkey was a mistake but correct me if I'm wrong but his season prior to the Bears was good. That Parkey contract though
He fucked up after releasing Gould, not by releasing Gould. Even Gould said he wouldn’t have changed until he got cut. So you’re wrong about “ever since he’s been here” and second of all you are undoubtedly the most negative poster on this board.
Weren’t you the same guy hating on Monty pick even after a ton of experts said they loved the pick?? It’s not the truth it’s your subjective BS
Timeline is as such:
the only question is field conditions. play in the heat in the south all year one can say more kickers can be really good in florida all the time
The Bears coldest game was 29 degrees and that was the 8:30 night game against LAR, hell it was 39 for the 4:30 Jan 6th playoff game. With global warming and domes in Det and Min, "Bear's weather" is about as relevant a phrase as the "cheap McCaskey's."
