BTW... Y'all should read a Ravens' board...Tucker SUCKS because he misses all his FGs in the playoffs.
Last year they wanted to run him out of town. Sometimes, even the GOAT is not good enough.

Phil Dawson Rookie year he was 8 or 12 on Field goals with a long of 49 yards, and 23 of 24 on extra points.
Cade York rookie year he was 24 of 32 on field goals with a long of 58 yards and 35 of 37 on extra points. He was also better on kickoffs. A few of his misses were also blocked kicks which were not his fault.
Now does anybody have a problem with York if he continues to put up better numbers than Dawson did??? I mean a lot of guys are ripping him already for having a better rookie season that Dawson. People don't want to read that. If they work the numbers they will find the numbers don't match the narrative.

Shaq would have been better off stepping back four feet, York would be bettor off if he were blindfolded and had no idea the distance. Style points, +1.

I have not given up on York.
I just want a backup plan. I want competition for the job.
Kickers are in a way fragile. It is a mental thing. In practice guys look great. Plenty of leg.
Can you make the kicks when it counts? Have a slow heartbeat. Don't rattle. Don't sweat.
Walk out there with the game on the line and split the goalposts.
I don't have great patience with kickers. Do your job.

People don't want to read that. If they work the numbers they will find the numbers don't match the narrative. It's certainly worth reading. The problem with that is it doesn't present the way things usually work out. Often times people would call that the exception to the rule and not the rule itself. Dawson was a great kicker. But I think if one were willing to look at this from the big picture, kickers having some huge turnaround like Dawson did happens far less often than kickers which falter early who never turn out to be much. There is certainly a chance that his story could mirror Phil's. But given the odds, I wouldn't bet even money on that happening.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Just to set the record straight.
