The experts said Bill Belichick spending a very high daft choice, on a kicker, was stupid. Ryland missed so many kicks last year, that the Patriots stopped going for them, but kept Ryland. the experts said that's stupid. Ryland competed for the kicker job this year, he was better, but nit the best so the Patriots, lacking patience, cut him. The experts screamed: "that's smart!!!! Mayo is smarter than Belichick." Arizona picked up Ryland, the high draft choice, for nothing. That's stupid, the experts said, he cannot kick. On Sunday Arizona beat Miami on a last second Field Goal by Ryland. Arizona is 4-4 this year. Three times they have won (75%) a game on a last second field goal by Ryland so far this year. Experts are morons. Just fucking words that mean nothing. In sports, on politics, on society experts are morons.
Interesting comments ski. The self proclaimed and anointed experts bs is exactly that, bullshit! The fact is there aren't any experts, there are people that know more about certain subjects than others but it doesn't make them an expert. Often 'experts' are even less knowledgeable about things than joe average.
Regarding drafted kickers, sometimes it takes years for a kicker to get his head straight and get consistent. They drift from team to team until the light comes on in their heads, that is if they get enough chances. Some don't get enough chances or they never 'get it' and fall by the wayside. There are a couple former Browns draft pick presently kickers kicking for other teams and their most recent pick is still trying to find himself. It's a crapshoot.
The Oakland Raiders drafted punter Ray Guy in the first round in the early 70’s. The “experts” probably called it a wasted pick. But he was instrumental to the Raider’s success in the 70’s. And he made the pro football HOF
^Interesting Ray Guy fact. He was such a great football player, despite being known as a kicker, that he not only punted and did the placekicking in college but was a safety with 18 interceptions as well. He threw a no-hitter in college and was a world class ping pong player. He also received extra money in his contract for not demanding to play defense and tackle people.
