Rackers is getting us nowhere, so should we look to the draft for one?
Should we draft a kicker this year?

Not sure how much longer we give Rackers to get his head back on.
He's killing us this year.

Mason Crosby definitely has to be on our wishlist. He's a beast.

Rackers sucks, any kicker in the league can miss 50 yard FGs, why do we need Rackers to be doing it?

We should go for it or punt from 50+ yards... at least we can try to pin the teams inside ten instead of giving them ball at 40 yard.
What a *******! Cut Rackers now! He can't even kick 50+yd FGs! Pathetic! *sarcasm*
If it wasn't for the penalty he would've been 3/3. And his kickoffs are great as well. He's in the top 3 in the NFL when it comes to touchback percentage.

Forget the KC or Chicago game?
Rackers has shown this year repeatedly that he's great when it doesn't matter, and when it does, he's wide left.

Dude, drop the act. How can you back this guy? Don't let him drag you under with him.

Agreed. He's got to be the biggest choker in the league.

Punter, Kicker (rackers may get a free pass this year), and anyone that knows what the hell kick coverage is besides Milligan and Fransisco

I watched Rackers warm up and he was wide left a lot, he also hit the left upright twice.
I think Rackers probably leads the league in tackles by a kicker, a very dubious distinction.

When he had to rekick that FG, I KNEW he would miss it. Told my wife so. I have no confidence in him anymore.

He doesn't... he is working voluntarily, I guess...

Same here... I knew he would miss for sure. Actually, I don't have confidence in him anymore hitting 40+ yard FG's... my heart skips a beat when FG unit steps on the field.

You don't have to DRAFT a kicker to replace Rackers.
I have my own theories on Rackers but in general, he just seems to be a guy like K9 suggested awhile ago, kicks much better when there's nothing riding on it, and much worse when there is.
I'd take a guy with less leg but who's reliable.

Yeah,the Cards should have cut him because he missed TWO FGS all of last season.

Give Rackers another year but get rid of Player for sure.

it would be stupid to let him go after one average year!
i would like to see where he ranks in the lge this year on kick% etc! - not the worst be along shot i would have thought!
If he was missing chip shots then yes but the odd 40 yarder here and there no biggy for me (yes i know that two were game breakers) !
We expect he to make them because he is/was a probowl kicker and its his own level that he hasnt matched this year thats all!
if he has a year next year and cant make a game winner then maybe its a mental thing at that should be looked at but for now hes just a good kicker having a average year!
come on Neil prove me right mate
