You're being disrespectful for no reason.

Seriously, name an iconic Tucker kick.

Here is my problem with Tucker

Guess you werent trying to be funny, we all assumed you were......here's one for good measure https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/tucker-adds-another-clutch-kick-to-his-resume#:~:text=Tucker's 46-yard fi

PrincetonTiger I assume that is most people's problem who refuse to acknowledge but he didnt choose to player for them, they were smart to get him. If he were a Colt this board like most every other board would have him at the top of their list.  I cant stand the Ravens but the numbers dont lie and again even Bill Belicheck who has long been Vinnys biggest fan said Tucker was the greatest

Tucker can’t hold the tee for guys like MA and JS

I think that's just you.  Everyone else seems to agree that (for the moment) Vinny is the GOAT, or at least higher on the list than Tucker, for now.

 

If you're already prepared to elevate Tucker over Vinny, that's fine, that's your opinion.

 

I just (respectfully) disagree.  As do most of the other people that have chimed in on this thread.  But that's not to say Tucker won't eventually be the GOAT.  He is on a team that looks primed for a few SB runs in the near future, so he could have some kicks that are more iconic than Vinny and take the GOAT mantle sooner rather than later.  

 

In the ICONIC words of Denny Green:  "If you wanna crown 'em, then crown their *"

I will say this board is very tame with debates compared to the Phins and Bucs boards, which is good no hard feelings. You should see what is happening with Brady thread over on TB site,,,,,,,

[holeymoley99 475]

Sorry but all experts say otherwise if he retired right now, that not much an argument.  Glad you like the explanation and found it cool, you gave us a chuckle and we need it with covid here running wild in Florida....but if you life is on the line...dont risk it with anyone else than the best ever by the numbers, you will thank me later.....

[holeymoley99 475]

Dont get me started why i prefer Jerry Rice over those with fancy catch nicknames like Dwight Clark or Lynn Swann....

The following from ESPN (from 2 days ago) seems to be the general sentiment regarding Tucker:

 

"While Tucker would be the overwhelming choice as the best kicker in football, the Hall has elected just two full-time kickers in its history. Adam Vinatieri will eventually join Jan Stenerud and Morten Andersen, but those guys averaged 22 seasons in the league. Tucker is only nine years in, and while he can kick for a long time if he stays healthy, asking anyone in the NFL to do anything for 13 more seasons is risky."

Brandt felt that way even before last season in which Tucker did it once again, reinforces the point don'tcha think ?

Not at all

[holeymoley99 475]

Are they all biased that dont fit your narrative, sounding more like a political debate now

Not at all ? So he felt that way before a guy had another Pro Bowl year ? Huh ?

I would absolutely use any bad year Tucker has when looking at his entire career, you have to when being objective.....Jim Brown was better then E.Smith but played many fewer games and seasons why is longevity only a kicker requirement ? Is George Blanda better than Tucker too ?  When asked Billcheck didnt say Vinny nor Gostkowski two players he knows better than anyone he said Tucker......hmmm

Jim Brown played in the 60's. Emmitt Smith played against players that Jim Brown never had to face size or speed wise that Emmitt played. Emmitt is the best RB ever and holds the record for most TDs and yards. Emmitt never quit on his team, retired early and played with a broken shoulder and dominated against Lawrence Taylor with HFA on the line. Give me Emmitt all day, 7 days a week.

technically one because BB is not an expert

[holeymoley99 475]

It's all opinions unless we uses stats, i said that from the start,,,,,,,no %..lol

[holeymoley99 475]

Guess we have different criteria for experts but sure most would consider him so even those that hate him and I do but BB is an expert

If you go by stats, Emmitt is the best as far as RB's but the eye test tells anyone that too. Dude played with 1 arm and gained 200 yards at NY with HFA on the line, RB's like Brown and Sanders would cry over a stub toe.

That was kinda my original point... your opinion, my opinion, "expert" opinion, doesn't matter, it's all just opinion, neither right or wrong, just opinion.

[holeymoley99 475]

Brown stats dwarfed E.Smith.....and dude was a beast...who kidding who

It's all opinion but stats like I said, defining experts can be opinion nfl numbers are not though
