Who missed the extra point?

Re: Who missed the extra point?

I'm not a purple kool aid by any means, but I sound like Gary Rima compared to you Mr Tharp.

Todd thinks Zach Davis should be our starting kicker.

Sometimes the truth hurts....you don't have to voice your opinion out loud, but you can't read my previous statement and think to yourself that there is some truth to it.

Re: Who missed the extra point?

Wow... That is... extreme.

I don't like calling out single players like that. This is a team sport.

Agreed.

You can't just blame one player.

Billy has cost us more games over his career than any panther ever to put on the uniform....It makes me sick every time I see him step on the field

Is panthernation Todd Tharp really Mr. Todd Tharp?

Define truth Todd? Let's see the numbers to back up your claim.

2007
Missed 22 yarder vs New Hampshire - Lucky that Montari saved him there

2008
Missed 27 and 33 yarder vs. Maine - Not what I call clutch when you miss 2 that short, at home, in the playoffs...

Missed at 42 and 51 in the dome vs. Richmond

2009
Iowa - needs no numbers to back up what happened.......

51 yarder against Richmond - that's tough to bust on a partial scholarship player for a 50+ yard kick, even indoors. The sub 40 I would agree that he needs to nail those indoors.

That said, Maine was not even a close game. And I don't believe anyone is pinning the Richmond loss on Billy - besides you.

We won the New Hampshire and Maine games...

51 is a bomb for anyone not in the NFL or a top 5 FBS kicker, and 42 still isn't a "chip shot"


Iowa, his kicks were low. There still wasn't a lot of blocking infront of him, still could have been higher kicks though.

Re: Who missed the extra point?

I think you need a refresher on your statement Todd. You've listed two games. Pretty sure that's not going to cut it.

Whether your are a walk on or on a full ride is of no significance here. If you are the starting kicker for an FCS team, these kicks are all able to be made.

Re: Who missed the extra point?

NFL kickers collectively make about 50% of 50 yard field goals, yes the galposts are closer together, but there might be one or two NFL caliber kickers in the FBS and FCS combined each year. You can't really put that on Billy.

Like has been pointed out before, you only named two games. Billy needs to do better sure, but lets not completely overreact.

The Dallas Cowboys' soon to be former place kicker Buehler concurs

NFL and College pipes are the same width. When I played our kicker was 13 of 14 from beyond 50 yards. And arguably 1 for 1 from 60.

Hoambrecker was a freakin 2 time first team all-american - you don't get a lot of those offering a partial scholarship
