We Should Trade For Koo

[like54ninjas]

The irony is we gave up on Koo too soon and as happens a lot with kickers, it took a while but finally clicked for him - which is what Staley has been trying to get out of Viz.

Finally someone typed the obvious.

p.s. The Falcons are 3-3 and not giving up. (not directed at you rich)

We can't just wait 3 more years to expect NFL kicking from Viscaino. So the search continues imo.
it's simple, keep him until an obvious upgrade is available
Until then, kick only when necessary
And continue aggressive 4th downs and 2 point conversions

Next.

I would agree with this -meaning be aggressive on 4th down and going for 2 point conversions

But the team cannot keep trying to find a kicker when it might take time for the kicker to improve.

Why would the Falcons want to trade Koo? He's kicking 100% figgies on the year, and just kicked a game winner...

Somebody on ESPN or somewhere put out a trade because the Falcons are cap strapped for next year and might not be able to afford Koo. But teams - in the offseason - find ways to work around the cap. Especially for a Kicker. Koo might get $3m AAV but a first year cap figure can be <$2m - so easy to manage.

Koo actually won 2 games for Atlanta with a game winning kick against Giants. How much are 2 extra wins per year worth? Trade for him now while we have all these late round picks and sign him for 3-4M per year.

You think a couple of 6-7 round players are gonna produce 2 extra wins a year? Come on TT, do your job!

Here's an article about the trade proposal and link to the original ESPN post. I think the writer is reading these posts.

You're welcome. lol

I told you we should've traded for Koo.

He won Atlanta at least 4 games this year.

He would of come in handy on the 51 yard FG today, add another 46 yard FG we didn't attempt against the Chiefs, and we wouldn't be in this position.

A good kicker is worth at least 2 wins per season and where would that put us now?

See what I mean?

Why trade for the #2 kicker in the league not just call up the #1 kicker in the league up in Baltimore?

What makes you think Atlanta would of traded him? They likely want to resign him since he won them 4 games.

The guy they need to move on from is Matt Ryan and his huge contract but likely can't.

[Charge!]

CIN drafted an amazing rookie kicker in 5th round(who has won them several games this season and playoff games)...... Chargers have never had luck with rookie kickers...... its usually safer to sign a consistent vet......than try and draft one....
