Let’s just see the season play out but I’d be pretty happy not shifting the game plan and especially our 2 min offense because a moderate fg is not dependable. Lambeau is not an easy place to kick and will get harder every week this season but if he can be league average, that’s still a huge upgrade. Our offense is dangerous enough that we don’t have to settle for 3s but sometimes you need one. He's also 33 which, while not especially old for a kicker, still means his best seasons are behind him. I think it's likely they pick up a rookie kicker in the offseason and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he’s making them and the team is comfortable with him as a person, they might not be so quick to jump back on the rollercoaster.

So without looking whatever happened to Anders Carlson? Did he at least make your practice squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be kicking this week for the 9ers after their 2nd kicker got taken out making a tackle. They hope to get their first stringer back in a few weeks but seems like they need to work on that ST coverage so their kicker isn’t playing safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or see if one of their positional guys can do good kickoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Packers get 3-4 years of good production out of McManus and there are no off-the-field hiccups, I'd consider this a smashing success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were reasons the broncos let him go and a reason the jags left him go(was before the lawsuit) and a reason the commanders cut him.

Pardon me if I don't let stellar franchises like Denver, Jacksonville and Washington mandate what a mid-tier franchise like the Green Bay Packers do.
