People wanted to cut him despite the stats. http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/kicking/sort/fieldGoalsMade He has made 34 FG (out of 39). 10 FG last 2 games. He is getting better. Only 1 missed XP. The record for FG made in a season is 44. You have to be patient with young kickers and let them find a groove and confidence. At least 3 of the misses were holder issues (new holder this year). Look at Boswell in Pittsburgh. Missed a few FG after being money the last few years, people want to cut him.
He's done well enough to get his entire name posted, here goes. John Christian Ka'iminoeauloameka'ikeokekumupa'a Fairbairn Put that on a jersey.
I thought this was odd too. I don't remember seeing too many people here saying he should be cut. He's been money all season.
He seems to possess some semblance of a clutch gene. Nobody will ever trust a kicker not named Vinateri, but he is about as good as it gets right now.
